Brick in interiors – 4 simple tips for achieving a striking effect

A brick wall is one of the hottest trends in interior design. It gives a space an interesting look and becomes the centrepiece of the whole room. And, importantly, it suits any style. Brick fits perfectly into a modern, minimalist décor, but also into more classic, cosy schemes. Don’t worry – you don’t need to plan lengthy and expensive renovations to have a brick feature in your home. To achieve a striking effect, you can use a Motivo decorative wall panel. The brick pattern is available in a range of colours, each of which will give your space a different character.

Which brick colour should you choose for a small space?

If you have a small flat, opt for bricks in white or light shades. Remember that a brick pattern is a decorative feature, so don’t use it on every wall. Otherwise, you may unnecessarily overwhelm the space and make it appear smaller. Paint the remaining walls in a light colour too, and you’ll see just how much you can gain simply by having ‘new’ walls.

White brick is the perfect solution for a small hallway. Not only will it add character, but it will also brighten it up (see also: A quick and cheap way to liven up a dark hallway). It is the hallway that welcomes household members and guests, so make sure it looks its best and enjoy it every time you enter the house.

An alternative to tiles

A light-coloured brick pattern is also a very good idea for a bathroom design. It’s sure to give it a fresh and attractive look. And by choosing the right accessories and colours, you’ll give the room the style you like best. If you’re after a calm décor, opt for delicate accessories in muted colours.

 By opting for a Motivo feature wall, you’ll find it’s the perfect alternative to bathroom tiles. Not only is it cheaper, but above all, it doesn’t require time-consuming renovations. You don’t need to remove the old tiles before installation – simply stick the panels in place with adhesive and enjoy the amazing result. What’s more, Motivo is waterproof and easy to clean, making it ideal for rooms exposed to damp.

Go for a classic look!

Classic red brick works best in the living room. Bear in mind, however, that this will make the space appear smaller. To avoid overwhelming the interior, stick to just one wall – choose the most prominent one. Brick is the perfect backdrop for a TV wall or as a feature wall behind the sofa.

Which style do you prefer – a modern or classic bedroom?

Brick in a light, warm shade in the bedroom will make a beautiful feature in your interior without overwhelming it. A pattern chosen in this way suits both light and dark furniture. In this room, you don’t need lots of decorations to create an interesting design. Give it character by choosing a style that suits you – if you like a modern look, go for minimalist furniture. If you want a cosier and warmer interior, choose Provencal-style furniture.

By opting for a brick wall, depending on the shade, you can make the interior feel warmer or give it a modern feel. When planning the change, however, bear in mind that the brick pattern is the dominant design element, so ensure the rest of the interior complements it.
