Brick wallpaper in the interior. Advantages and disadvantages
Brickwork on the wall is a successful design technique for decorating an interior in any style.
Instead of heavy decorative stone, you can use actual wallpaper. We will tell you how to use wallpaper with brick imitation in the interior. Wallpaper with an imitation brick wall is a good alternative to natural stone in the interior
People choose imitation brick not only because of the cost of the material, but also because of ease of use. To lay a wall of natural brick, you need to have special skills. Wallpaper with a real pattern can be simply pasted on without leveling or treating the walls.
Advantages of wallpaper imitating brick:
- light weight of finishing material;
- ease of application;
- unlike natural brick or volumetric imitation, wallpaper retains usable space;
- suitable for decorating light partitions, for example, made of plasterboard;
- significant savings in time and money;
- ease of replacement of damaged or contaminated finishing areas;
- decorate walls of any geometry and relief;
- large selection of colors and textures;
- there is no feeling of cold, as is the case with natural masonry.
Natural brick looks aesthetically pleasing, but should never be used. It weighs down the walls and is not designed for lightweight plasterboard structures.
It is difficult to work with natural stone on non-standard surfaces: round walls, niches, ledges. In this case, for finishing it is also better to choose wallpaper that imitates brickwork.
Another advantage of wallpaper over natural brick is the lack of coordination. When it's cold, the bricks absorb heat and lower the temperature in the room. This does not happen with wallpaper.
Such coatings can be used in any room - they will hide the unevenness of the walls due to the large image and add creativity to the interior design.
The disadvantages include only some characteristics of a particular type of wallpaper.
Interesting ideas
So, let's see what we can do to unusually decorate the walls with decorative stone and wallpaper in the hallway?
- Apply jagged edges to make the walls look voluminous.
- Install spotlights to highlight the cladding.
- Add various decorations to the wall. Mirrors, paintings, fakes and compositions will be used.
- Create a living corner.
- In the classical direction, place stone on the columns, emphasizing the overall ambiance.
- Hang shelves to store small items.
Types of wallpaper for brickwork
Wallpaper lining material has a different base. The choice may depend on:
- realism of the image;
- durability;
- wear resistance;
- cost of goods.
Depending on the base, wallpapers are divided into several types.
Paper
This base makes the wallpaper the cheapest. Their flat texture does not allow for realistic drawing. They are inferior to the types described above in a number of other characteristics (density, strength, etc.).
They do not tolerate sunlight, high humidity and are unstable to mechanical stress, but they are easy to glue and have a wide range of designs.
When choosing paper wallpaper, it is advisable to purchase washable products. The texture of this option is denser and is intended for finishing rooms with high humidity and temperature changes.
Vinyl
Wallpaper on this basis is very similar to real brickwork, depicting all kinds of cracks, depressions and bulges inherent in natural material. Vinyl backing sticks to the surface quite easily due to its strength.
The joints after gluing are invisible on the walls. In addition, such wallpapers have expressive decorative properties, are easily cleaned of dust and other contaminants with a damp sponge, do not fade when exposed to sunlight, and do not “get upset” in an environment with high humidity. At the same time, the finishing material is quite affordable. The disadvantage of this wallpaper is that it does not allow air to pass through.
Non-woven
Such wallpaper can be called “breathable”. In terms of their qualities (density and strength), they are superior to vinyl-based products. In addition, they have a textured and realistic pattern. They are easy, fast and convenient to work with.
In addition, the non-woven covering does not deform and is an excellent option for interior decoration of buildings undergoing shrinkage. They cost much more, but with proper care they can last quite a long time.
3D brick wallpaper
Wallpaper with a 3D brick pattern is a worthy choice to accent any part of the wall. The design on such products is applied using modern printing technologies. The result is a unique 3D brick wall.
Self-adhesive brick-like wallpaper is also offered on the finishing materials market. These are canvases similar in properties to vinyl wallpaper, but with a thinner base. Therefore, you need to work with them carefully so as not to damage the film.
The design of brick wallpaper depends on the overall interior of the room. It can be combined with old or new masonry, and can also be made in both light and dark colors. A combination of brick wallpaper consisting of two different design solutions is allowed.
How to design a transition when combining
Whether or not to decorate the joints when gluing depends on the thickness of the finish and the chosen style. There are several methods for decorating the transition: pasting borders with borders, moldings, wooden slats, thin strips, stucco molding, and ceiling plinths can be used.
No transition
The classic joint is usually not decorated with anything. To ensure that the edges of assorted wallpapers match perfectly, they are not initially coated with glue, but are placed overlapping each other. Then a sharp knife is drawn along the joint (the line can be smooth or wavy). The waste is discarded, and the edges of the canvases are coated with glue and attached to the wall.
Wallpaper border
Paper framing is not a problem. It can be matched to the wallpaper at the point of purchase from a catalog or cut out from the wallpaper strip itself. The advantage of this finish is its low cost, ease of gluing and removal. Disadvantage: susceptibility to ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage.
You can choose vinyl and acrylic edging; they are approximately similar in quality. Textile is denser and more durable due to its two-layer structure consisting of paper and fabric.
You should not rely on the quality of the self-adhesive edging; it tends to fall off spontaneously over time. It is advisable to glue it, additionally coating it with glue initially.
Moldings
Decorative elements framed by moldings look quite original. Such inserts were mostly used in classic interiors. Previously, such ideas were implemented only by representatives of the upper class, since the fabrics used were very expensive. Now such panels are possible in the style of Provence and country. Modern Art Nouveau follows the same path, slightly modifying the frame. Its role is played by a border cut from linen from the same collection.
Silk-screen printing, embossed coatings, and other similar options are used as inserts. Moldings will also help, if it is necessary to combine wallpaper of different thicknesses, to design a transition to another type of finish or architectural element.
Wallpaper for brickwork in the interior of different rooms - photo
This type of finishing will not look good in all rooms; in some of them it is used with reservations. Let's look at each case in more detail.
Brick wallpaper in the living room
Wallpaper with a pattern is recommended for use in spacious rooms. Here they can highlight an accent wall or help with zoning. At the same time, neighboring surfaces must be neutral, otherwise the interior will turn out to be too colorful.
Such a covering in the living room dictates a certain style, which has its own requirements for content. The furniture should be modern, possibly leather. It is better to exclude artificial materials from the interior. Wooden details will favorably emphasize the “masonry”.
The color palette depends on the shade of the walls. So, white brick goes well with any color. Red brick harmonizes with restrained and natural shades.
Designers recommend limiting yourself to central lighting, since side sources will emphasize the artificial origin of the masonry.
Brick wallpaper in the kitchen interior
The kitchen area is very demanding on the quality of finishing materials. In conditions of constant humidity, sudden temperature changes and high levels of pollution, paper wallpaper will not last long.
Vinyl and non-woven fabric cope best with this difficult task, so when covering walls it is recommended to focus on them.
The design of the kitchen depends on its size and layout. If there is a dining area, then “brick” wallpaper should be pasted there, thereby marking the boundaries. In small kitchens, they can be glued to the entire working wall or just to the apron, hidden behind a glass cover for safety.
Against the background of white brick, light wood furniture with bright details looks good. Against the background of red, calm and cool shades look better.
Brick wallpaper in the bedroom interior
In the bedroom, such decor should be used with extreme caution. Often only one wall of the room is decorated, the one to which the bed adjoins.
The rough surface can be balanced with light curtains, a blanket or a beautiful bedspread. A stone wall is ideal for displaying paintings, especially when it comes to contemporary art.
With the help of patterned decoration, you can separate the sleeping area from other areas: with a desk, chest of drawers, mirror or dressing table.
Brick wallpaper in the hallway
This is the most ideal place for them. An important point is to choose this style for all other rooms and premises.
- Wallpaper in the hallway under white brickwork is more suitable for a narrow, elongated area.
- This color palette helps to visually expand the boundaries of space.
- In such cases, it is better to choose furniture in lighter colors. This is the only way to enhance the desired stylistic effect.
Brick wallpaper options for a children's room
A controversial decision is to decorate the room where the children are with brick. Such an interior is unlikely to suit small children. But older children may like this style. The brick walls will remind them of a castle or underground catacombs.
A big plus of the coating is that it is safe and pleasant to the touch.
For a teenager, such an unusual finish will be especially attractive. Such a wall is suitable for posters, paintings with abstractions and all kinds of photographs of idols.
Brick wallpaper on the balcony
Loggias and balconies seem suitable for brick finishing. However, given the constant fluctuations in temperature, humidity, exposure to sunlight and other atmospheric phenomena, it is recommended to use non-woven or vinyl products in such places.
Bathroom with brick wallpaper
The walls in the bathroom can be covered with moisture-resistant wallpaper with imitation brickwork. Places of direct contact with water should be avoided; it is better to cover them with tiles or plastic panels.
Decorative bricks, application possibilities
Decorative bricks offered by manufacturers are often used in hallways, because such material is easy to use for wall decoration.
Light and practical finishing allows you to fully support the illusion of stylish brickwork, for the arrangement of which bricks of different colors and structures were used.
Color palette of brick wallpaper in the interior
Brick wall coverings have a wide color palette. The color is selected in accordance with the style and size of the room: light shades for the smallest rooms, dark for large ones. It is not recommended to glue dark wallpaper in a room with poor lighting. Good natural and artificial light emphasizes the color and texture of the coating.
Gray
Gray shades of brick wallpaper look no less good than white ones. Gray color is neutral, so it can be used in any interior. Cool shades of gray visually enlarge the room, while warm shades visually expand the room.
Gray brick wallpaper can decorate an accent wall and serve as an excellent backdrop for furniture and decor.

Black
Black brick walls look great in family rooms. They go well with furniture in white, beige and sand colors.
Black brick wallpaper is a contrasting furniture and light decor
Red
Red is the original color of the brick. A red brick wall in the interior will always be a bright accent, emphasizing a certain style. The red wall is not a background, but a full-fledged decorative element. It does not need to be further decorated or stylized.
Red brick wallpaper highlights an accent area - above the headboard or at the dining table. Emphasize niches, ledges, columns and fireplace areas.
Red brick wallpaper brings a homely atmosphere and warmth to the room
Multi-colored
If it is difficult to decide on the basic shade and texture, it is better to choose wallpaper with a combination of different colors, finishes and effects. On one surface it is quite possible to combine red, black and gray bricks with elements of the main color.
Various wallpapers will perfectly decorate a niche in a rustic-style house
White
White is the main color. A white brick wall will suit any style and any room - white brickwork looks great both in the hall and in the bedroom.
A blank wall is not only a decoration, but also a background for decoration. On white brick you can place large paintings and bright photos, and install open shelves.
A white brick wall adds volume to a small space, and the light base does not weigh down the interior. White color and successful multi-stage lighting visually expand the room.

Visual effects: how to influence the perception of space?
A wall made of traditional red brick is not the only possible option. The texture of the material and the laconic form of individual elements allows you to influence the perception of space. How to do it?
White wall
This option is used so often that it requires separate mention. Texture combined with white creates a good background for placing bright accessories.
White wall in the kitchen
The versatility of the shade allows it to be used in any room as the main design or to highlight individual zones. In white it is even possible to decorate all the walls in the room.
And at the same time the room will not look gloomy and basement. On the contrary, a light shade “adds” free space, making the room visually larger. Most often this technique is used when decorating bedrooms and kitchens.
Looks good in any room
Painting it white makes the design modern and dynamic.
Masonry pattern and brick texture on wallpaper
The pattern on the wallpaper can depict large, medium or small bricks of a classic rectangular or almost square shape. It can imitate old or new masonry, which allows you to choose the finishing material in accordance with the style of the interior. So, for example, for an attic, wallpaper with a uniform and smooth imitation of masonry is suitable, and for Provence or country style, bricks of different ages would be the ideal solution.
The higher quality the wallpaper, the closer the texture of the imitation is to the original. Some modern manufacturers of finishing materials add tiny fragments of brick to the canvas. This makes the coating more realistic not only visually, but also to the touch. The relief of brick wallpaper can be improved through correctly placed additional lighting sources.
Self-installation of decorative coating
Installation of stone in the corridor
Artificial stone appears as tiles of different sizes with uneven edges. Experts recommend that installation be done in such a way that identical fragments alternate with larger or smaller cladding elements. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the seams do not coincide either vertically or horizontally. Having previously laid out the tiles on the floor, they form an original composition in fragments of appropriate sizes so that the finishing stone in the interior of the hallway looks organic.
Laying of facing material is carried out in stages. Carefully follow the suggested recommendations, and decorating your hallway with stone yourself will allow you to enjoy your handmade creation for a long time.
Stage 1. Preparing the glue
Fill the container prepared in advance with water, and gradually add dry powder, stirring, to obtain a mixture of the required consistency. A construction mixer will help achieve a homogeneous thick composition without lumps. Don't rely on your own intuition. Carefully follow the water to glue ratio suggested by the manufacturer on the packaging. Any violation of proportions will subsequently affect the quality of installation. An overly thin mixture can significantly reduce the strength of the joint, and an overly thick mixture will increase glue consumption.
Stage 2. Installation of the first row
For beginning craftsmen, it is preferable to install the covering fragments from top to bottom. This method of installation allows you to avoid contamination of the tiles with excess glue, making it possible to finish the hallway with maximum accuracy.
Artificial stone can be laid in any way to create a unique pattern on the wall
If you plan to cover not the entire surface of the wall, but only the area around the opening, installation of the coating should begin from the corner of the door. The installation process is facilitated by preliminary marking of the surface with horizontal lines at a distance of 10-15 cm.
Laying is done as follows:
- 5 mm of glue is applied to the first tile with a notched trowel;
- the fragment is placed on the wall according to the markings;
- after pressing tightly, remove excess glue;
- Next to the first, a second tile is fixed, differing in size. A seam up to 8 mm wide is left between the elements;
- the process is repeated periodically until the cladding is completely completed.
Stage 3. Design of corners
Unfortunately, limited financial resources do not allow everyone to significantly simplify the installation process by using special corner fragments, since their cost is slightly higher than the price of ordinary tiles used for hallway decoration. An ordinary person with an average income has to cut out the required elements themselves. To do this, you can use a grinder or a hacksaw. There are two ways to do this:
- the fragments are installed overlapping. So that the open ends at the outer corners do not stand out too much, they are lightly filed with a file and tinted. When decorating internal corners, no additional processing is required;
- The edges of the artificial stone are ground at a certain angle of 45 degrees. This option is used more often for gypsum products that are easily cut using a miter box.
A layer of glue is applied to the prepared fragments, after which the tile is placed on both sides of the outer corner and pressed tightly to the surface. In this case, it is necessary to carefully monitor the alignment of the joints. After the formation of the angular vertical, you can continue laying the horizontal row of cladding.
Stage 4. Seam processing
All gaps between individual fragments of the coating are carefully filled with gypsum putty. Excess should be wiped off immediately before the mixture dries. Since the hardened putty does not match the artificial stone in color, complete harmony is achieved by applying a special pigment of a suitable color to the seams.
Stage 5. Final finishing
The final touch of covering the surface with decorative stone is the finishing of the tiles with a special varnish. An acrylic-based compound is best suited for this purpose. In places where the coating is often exposed to contact, it is recommended to apply 2-3 layers of varnish.
Using a golden or bronze pigment will add volume to the coating. You can emphasize the texture of the masonry using special lighting.
Brick wallpaper in different interior styles
When choosing wallpaper that imitates brickwork, you need to consider some factors. The type of canvas must correspond to the general style of the room and match the color scheme. The functional purpose of the room, its area, location and size of window openings should be taken into account. A certain type of brick wallpaper will suit any design style.
Loft and Scandinavian interior
A raw brick wall is a must-have for studios and loft-style apartments. However, in a small room, natural brickwork looks massive, so a good solution would be to use wallpaper that imitates the pattern and texture of brick. It is better to choose canvases with a reddish “brick” tint. This will contribute to greater realism.
A brick wall would also be appropriate in a Scandinavian interior, be it natural brickwork or wallpaper. It is desirable that the finish be white or light gray. These colors are typical for this style and help to visually expand the space. A laminate in warm natural shades will help to dilute a monochromatic environment.
Brick wall in shabby chic and vintage interiors
Interiors in the shabby chic style are characterized by shabby surfaces, often intentionally aged, so a brick wall without decorative finishing or wallpaper with its imitation will look quite harmonious. It is better to choose white or beige material. Brick-like wallpaper in combination with wooden wall panels will look very impressive.
Tenderness combined with toughness. This is exactly the effect that is achieved if, in a vintage-style interior, the wall is decorated with wallpaper imitating brickwork. The remaining surfaces are best decorated with wallpaper with floral prints.
Imitation of brickwork in Provence and fusion interiors
Provence is a gentle style with notes of French country romance. A brick wall or its imitation will fit harmoniously into such an interior. In a Provencal apartment, brick-like wallpaper in a light yellow or white shade will look great. It is possible to use a coating with a pronounced texture that conveys unevenness, abrasions and minor defects of the old masonry.
Fusion style can be called in one word - rainbow. For those who love bright colors and all kinds of their combinations. Brick wallpaper in a fusion interior can be used in red-yellow, red-white or red-gray tones.
Modern style
In modern style, brick-like wallpaper is often used to zone and highlight an accent wall. The shade of the coating will depend on the color scheme of the room. In a bright room, it is good to use white brick wallpaper; for darkening, red or black masonry is suitable.

Minimalism
Brickwork is rarely used in minimalism. A minimalist interior excludes a variety of colors. Brick wallpaper replaces voluminous natural stone in this design.
If you choose to decorate a wall made of stone, highlight this decor with a piece of furniture of strict geometric shapes
Country style
Country is a style that combines heavy and bulky elements with simple materials. Brick is often used in such an interior. If you want to highlight a wall, fireplace or functional space, and if it doesn't overwhelm the room, use brick wallpaper.
Chic red brick wallpaper separates the fireplace area from the rest of the room and matches perfectly with the wooden beams on the ceiling
Gothic style
This style is rarely used when decorating apartments - this direction is suitable for large rooms. If you decide to create a room in this style, use dark or black wallpaper to highlight the brick.
Black brickwork in a Gothic interior will create the atmosphere of a castle
Ethnics
A brick wall in ethnic style is a backdrop for bright decorations and fabrics with national motifs. Red, burgundy and red brick wallpaper in this interior is combined with colorful walls and wood paneling.
Against the background of classic brick walls, ethnic paintings and interior items look even brighter and more interesting.
Ways to decorate a room
You can decorate the walls of the corridor in different ways.
Several techniques are used for this:
- You can cover the entire room. To do this, all walls from ceiling to floor along the perimeter of the room are covered with brickwork.
- You can decorate only one wall with decorative bricks, and paint the rest with paint or wallpaper.
- Also, quite often, particularly protruding parts of the corridor layout are protected using this type of installation. This lining helps protect wallpaper and paintwork from abrasion.
- Using this material, you can focus on certain interior details, for example, highlight a door or cover the location of a mirror with such material, or lay out an arch.
- It is quite popular to imitate damaged surfaces on walls using this facing material. To do this, the walls are not covered entirely with material, but only from below, changing the height of the cladding in such a way as to imitate a collapsed wall.
How to choose wallpaper with brickwork
The most optimal type of wallpaper with brickwork is vinyl. They are durable, resistant to moisture, easy to clean, resistant to cleaning, and do not attract dust. The main feature of brick-look vinyl wallpaper is the presence of a relief, which allows the coating to be as close to the real thing as possible. Non-woven wallpaper with brick has the same texture and care is similar to vinyl.
However, non-woven fabric is cheaper and easier to apply. When choosing brick-like paper wallpaper, give preference to samples with a washable outer surface. The realistic image of brick on such wallpaper is inferior to vinyl or non-woven wallpaper, but the cost of the coating is more affordable.
Paintable brick wallpaper is on sale. When choosing this option, remember that it is advisable to paint it with a light color for the first time, and then change it to a darker one.
Combining canvases
Brick wallpaper can be combined with other canvases. The most common combinations:
- brickwork and plain fabrics. This option is used for wallpaper in white, milky, light brown colors. Combining two types of red wallpaper is too much;
- imitation brick and striped wallpaper. This finish is suitable for a corridor with low ceilings;
- gray brick and white wallpaper. This option is suitable not only for finishing the corridor, but also for bedrooms. Such combinations will look stylish and elegant;
- white bricks and coffee walls. This is a universal finish that allows you to implement pastel shades in the decor. The main thing is not to clutter the space with furniture; there should be nothing superfluous in a bright hallway.
- red bricks and light olive wallpaper. This combination is often found in fashion magazines; it looks natural in the interior and creates a comfortable atmosphere.
You should carefully combine wallpaper in bricks with other wallpaper of a rough texture (for example, wood panels), liquid coatings, designs and patterns. How to correctly combine brick-like wallpaper with others in the hallway, look at the photo.

"Brick" wallpaper in the interior of an office or store
Nowadays, designers increasingly prefer to decorate offices, bars, restaurants, beauty salons and shops in loft, minimalist or urban style. Brick wallpaper will be an excellent solution for decorating these rooms. They will help make your office or cafe bright and memorable, which will have a positive impact on the image of the establishment.
Varieties
Nowadays you can find a huge assortment in construction stores. There are five main types of bricks used in corridor design:
- Cement;
- Plaster;
- Flexible tiles;
- Panels;
- Clinker tiles (analogue).
Decorative brown brick in the hallway.
Each of these types has its own composition, installation features, advantages and disadvantages. It is possible to use decorative bricks in interior design by laying individual bricks in the hallway. Hard-to-reach places can be decorated with flexible tiles. And immediately cover the entire wall with panels. Much depends on the designer’s ideas, the type of room, its shape, the presence or absence of corners, columns, and the level of humidity. We will look at all the options in detail so that you have an idea about each and can make the right choice when purchasing.

Clinker tiles
A brick wall can be created using a popular analogue - clinker tiles. It is made from clay, then fired in muffle furnaces and covered with glaze. This is a heat-resistant material; it is used to line fireplaces, stoves and decorate rooms with high air temperatures. It weighs little and has a thickness of about two centimeters. The modern market offers a wide range of colors. These properties allow this material to be used in any stylistic direction. The only drawback is the cost - it will cost more than decorative bricks. The advantage is the strength and durability of the coating; it does not require renewal or restoration over a long period and is easy to maintain.

From cement
One type is cement brick. The composition includes clay, sand and high-strength cement. The surface becomes rough and textured; it must be protected from high humidity. When caring for the wall, it is not recommended to use chemicals to avoid damaging it. You can increase wear resistance by mixing the composition with stone chips. The disadvantage is the difficulties associated with the formation of a large amount of dust from cutting during installation. The product does not harden immediately after kneading, but within three weeks; it must be stored away from moisture. Cement brick is environmentally friendly, breathable, and does not cause allergic reactions. The undoubted advantage is the ease of installation and long service life.

Gypsum stone
The most economical layout option is from gypsum stone.
Unlike cement, gypsum stone weighs little, it can even be laid on drywall. Gypsum bricks are very fragile and must be laid carefully to avoid damage. Gypsum, like cement, is afraid of high humidity in the room; in the corridor the air humidity should not be more than 45-55 percent. The stone is perfect for creating designs in the following styles: loft, hi-tech, minimalism, Provence or classic. In construction supermarkets you can choose gypsum stone of different colors; the color range is wide. To enhance strength, experts recommend coating the finished surface with a water-repellent varnish, this will increase the performance properties of the gypsum stone.

Flexible tiles
An innovation in the design of space inside and out is flexible tiles. It is ideal for renovations in corridors, halls, hallways, foyers and other rooms with a lot of hard-to-reach places. You can create architectural compositions that imitate stone structures, bringing to life the most daring ideas of designers. The composition includes polymer resins or cement and crushed mineral stones. This is an unpretentious material, resistant to weathering and negative environmental influences. It does not break, does not wear out, bends perfectly, and hides all the unevenness of the surface being coated. The rich color palette of dyes pleases even the most demanding customers. The surfaces do not require special care and will last a long time.

Panels
For quick cladding, panels that imitate a brick wall are used. They can cover an entire three-meter wall. Brick panels are made from compressed wood chips or polyvinyl chloride and are printed with a pattern reminiscent of brickwork. The downside is that they can easily burn or lose their original appearance due to mechanical damage. Ease of installation and maintenance, light weight, environmental friendliness, long service life with careful handling are the obvious advantages of PVC and MDF. The panels are highly durable and you can easily attach pieces of furniture to them.
