Wallpaper under a brick in a modern interior

Imitation can not be better than the original, but not in the case when it comes to wallpaper under a brick in the interior. Pasting a wall with roll materials is less costly, repairs are done in 1-2 days, and a thin layer of decoration does not take up part of the usable area, like natural masonry. Visually textured wallpaper is no different from a brick wall. But the choice of color and pattern of the masonry is much greater. Professional interior designers will share their secrets on how to create a stylish, harmonious interior.

Nowadays, imitation of brickwork is typical for democratic interior styles.

Why choose imitation of a brick wall in a modern interior?

Various options for imitating masonry are a favorite way of creating an accent wall for famous designers working in the styles of loft, high-tech, fusion, country, minimalism. But even this list of such conceptually different styles is not limited to the possibility of using this wall cladding. Anyone who wants to create an inimitable author’s interior can use this technique - it will turn out as in the photo.

Not everyone can afford to lay out a real brick wall, and creating imitation using wallpaper is available to everyone

Certain interior styles simply cannot do without brickwork.

A brick wall attracts attention in a surprising way, although to some it seems “bare” or “rough”. But this “unfinished" facing is full of adherents. The mass production of wallpapers with similar imitation, known since post-Soviet times, greatly facilitated the repair.

Wallpaper “for laying”, which were in use about 15-20 years ago, did not differ in variety and quality. On sale were red-brown rolls with ivy sprigs and without it. Modern brick imitations have undergone serious design refinement in order to maximize the range.

Important! The decorative properties of the surface after wallpapering can be much higher than the masonry itself. Therefore, if you have a real brick wall that does not suit aesthetically pleasing, just starting plastering and wallpapering of a more suitable design is enough.

Previously, when the design concept involved a real brick wall, a real craftsman who worked with bricks was required. Today it is not necessary to possess building skills, it is enough to have a little experience in wallpapering the walls. The visual effect can be achieved when lightweight drywall partitions are made during zoning - the “brick” wallpaper creates the feeling of a real wall, like a photo example.

Brickwork wallpapers are used to decorate a wide variety of rooms.

A solid or fragmented brick wall is a subconscious sensation of reliability, stability, and security. Somewhere inside, everyone feels that “my house is my castle”, regardless of whether it is a cottage, a summer residence or an apartment. It was laid in childhood - from a fairy tale about three piglets. An effective way of expressing or creatively zoning a large room in any setting is a brick wall wallpaper in the interior.

Where is brick wallpaper used?

Finding wallpaper for decoration is much easier than finding a suitable brick. Not everyone knows that it is different:

• white (silicate) and red (clay terracotta);
• construction and refractory;
• facing and decorative;
• textured and shaped;
• dense (hyper-pressed) and porous;
• smooth and broken (or torn);
• single, one and a half and double.

Imitation will not seem cold when touched, so they are preferable to brick in any living room, even in the nursery. All varieties of textures are reflected in the figure of the facing rolls, including different brick colors - from white to black, as in the photo.

Depending on the style of the interior and the functionality of the room, it is possible to choose an imitation of masonry to your taste. For example, for an urbanistic bedroom, “brick and whitewash” wallpapers are often chosen; for the kitchen, a rough wall made of red or colored building material. In the hallway, any non-standard version of the interior with brick wallpaper is appropriate. In the living room, you need to carefully select wallpapers that resemble decorative masonry, so that it looks organically.

This is an excellent decoration on one work wall or cooking area, when it is the catering department of a studio apartment. Where they eat, it is better to do something else, for example, wall paintings, murals and mosaics from broken tiles. If the wallpapers themselves are very bright, they can be tinted by painting the rest of the walls or decorative plaster exposed with colorless varnish - it will be easier to wash.

In the kitchen, not only a brick wall, but also inserts in the form of an apron near the stove and work surface will look great. By the way, it is better to take not washable paper wallpapers, but a textured version of fiberglass for painting, characterized by counteracting fire. You can even make some kind of graffiti inscription if there is little decor in the room.

In the bedroom, the "brick" is not used as often as in the above rooms. Nevertheless, it will be organically perceived in an urbanistic or minimalistic interior - for wall decoration at the head of the bed.
