Design options for white brick walls
Snow-white brick walls look harmonious in many stylistic directions. Such components not only refresh the atmosphere, but also make it more original. This interesting design can be performed using both natural and artificial materials. Today we will take a closer look at such a design solution and analyze how it looks in different premises.
Real brick
White brick walls are a trend in recent years. Such components can often be seen in the most unexpected stylistic ensembles. They fit perfectly into many environments, making them more interesting, while emphasizing the individuality of the home as a whole.
White walls made of natural bricks look especially fashionable and attractive. Such options can be safely attributed to the classics of the genre. Many users do it easier - they use an existing brick wall in the room and do not complete its decoration with decorative trim. In order to use such a detail as a decorative note of the interior, it will be enough just to cover it with a primer layer and a transparent acrylic compound.
Of course, if a simple white color is not to your liking, such a wall can be easily repainted in any other shade that suits the environment.
Often, unfinished white brick walls look rough, especially if they are old. Don't be afraid of such details - they will look amazing in many styles. For example, it can be an insanely popular loft today, in which you simply cannot do without brick walls.
Also, similar decorative elements can be made of facing or decorative bricks. Such designs can be classified as simplified. The main advantage of these options is that they are thinner and lighter than constructions made of full-fledged natural bricks of white color. In addition, decorative bricks take up much less free space, which is especially useful when it comes to arranging a small room where every centimeter counts. As a rule, this type of brickwork is installed, using reliable tile adhesive.
Additionally, a special grout is used, with the help of which the seams remaining from the laying are rubbed.
In most cases, the installation of decorative brickwork is addressed when equipping rooms such as a bedroom or living room. It is worth noting that the installation of these parts is less laborious and takes very little free time. The main thing is to act as carefully as possible and not to rush.
Imitation
Many owners nowadays refuse to install natural or decorative bricks on the walls in their homes. This is due to the fact that today there are a large number of alternatives that not only have an affordable price, but are also easier to install. Let's get to know them better.
Clinker tiles
Beautiful clinker tiles made to match colored or snow-white brickwork are very popular with modern consumers.The main advantage of such a design solution is that it takes up a minimum of free space in the room, which is very important if your home does not have a large area.
Today in specialized stores you can find a huge number of different clinker tiles that have different shapes, sizes and colors. In this case, the base is finished according to the principle of a standard tile material, observing neat seams. Such options are ideal for the kitchen, since they are not afraid of either dampness or exposure to high temperatures.
Texture Wallpaper
Attractive textured wallpapers imitating snow-white brickwork are in great demand. Such products are so believable that they do not immediately give themselves away, and many people confuse them with real white bricks. The difference can only be noticed upon closer examination.
Textured brick-like wallpaper is an ideal solution if you are equipping a small-sized home, where there is simply no place for natural or decorative bricks. In spacious rooms, these canvases also look organic.
It is worth noting that these types of wallpaper usually have a high class of wear resistance and easily tolerate regular wet cleaning.
Textured putty
No less popular is the imitation of a brick wall, created thanks to a textured putty mixture. To organize such a spectacular decoration, you need to stock up on a high-quality starting putty, as well as a suitable tile adhesive. These components are mixed in a 50: 50 ratio.
In different rooms
The stylish white brick wall is a great decoration that looks good in a variety of rooms. This can be not only a living room or bedroom, but also a kitchen or even a bathroom. Let's take a look at how this detail looks in different settings.
In the living room
A hall is ideal for placing a white brick wall. This is especially true for rooms with a non-standard layout. In such circumstances, designers recommend highlighting one of the walls in the room for a brick finish, making it accent. Moreover, this base may not have a perfectly flat surface. Shelves, niches or recesses may be present on it. In this case, the brickwork will emphasize the individuality of the interior, as well as the non-trivial taste of the home owners.
If we are talking about a standard rectangular living room, then it is recommended to equip a brick wall behind the main decorative element in the interior. In this way, you will both decorate the situation and make it complete.
Along the white brick wall, you can safely organize a recreation area. If there is such a solid detail as a fireplace in the hall, then it can be safely placed near a brick wall - in a single tandem, these components look irresistible and very rich.
In the bedroom
A wonderful white brick wall will look great in a bedroom. Such a detail, despite a slightly rude image, will make such a room warmer, more comfortable and more hospitable for the owners. The main thing is to beat the white brick with suitable textile details - pillows, a rug, a blanket. Other decorative additions will organically look against a snow-white background, for example, various panels, mirrors or wall lighting fixtures.
Many people who are tired of traditional design solutions turn to such a design for bedrooms today.
On the kitchen
Many owners are wondering if white brick walls are suitable for the kitchen. The answer is simple - of course, yes. In such an environment, this design touch is applied for the following purposes.
- Installing the apron. It's no secret that a kitchen apron is constantly exposed to negative external influences.That is why, for its preparation, it is necessary to choose materials that are not afraid of either heat or dampness. These requirements are met by neat tiles, from which spectacular imitations of white brick are obtained.
- Room zoning. In many cases, the kitchen requires competent zoning. To delimit the dining area, you can turn to the white brick wall, emphasizing with its help the bright design of individual decorations in the interior.
- Installation of an island or bar counter. Of course, in this case, kitchens of sufficient area are meant.
In the hall
An entrance hall is a visiting card of any home, since it is the very first room that hosts and their guests enter when entering a house or apartment. That is why this space is so important to arrange correctly. If you decorate the hallway with white brick, then it will seem much wider and more spacious. Against the background of such a decoration, various wall lamps, "seasoned" with living green plants in small pots, will look harmoniously.
In various interior styles
As mentioned earlier, white brick walls look harmonious in many styles. Let's consider the most successful directions in which such components fit especially organically.
Loft
"Attic" loft style is incredibly popular today and is found in many homes. It looks harmonious in both small and spacious living spaces. Such interior ensembles are characterized by rude performance and a mixture of different stylistic notes. Loft-style interiors can be complemented by wood-beamed ceilings, columns and, of course, brick walls.
Brickwork in a similar setting can be either white or gray, brown or red - there are a lot of options. Against the background of a similar finish (natural stones are often used), furniture made in a classic or even retro style is often placed.
The rest of the elements can be designed in a variety of directions, up to steampunk lamps.
Country
Harmoniously snow-white brick walls look in a rustic country style. In such environments, it is recommended to have finishes made from natural raw materials. Many owners arrange country and country houses in this way.
Country-style interiors turn out to be cozy and welcoming if they have a fashionable addition in the form of light brickwork. This finish looks especially impressive in combination with wooden elements, without which it is difficult to imagine a rustic ensemble.
Minimalism
Today, the trend is such a restrained but fashionable style as minimalism. Such environments are usually dominated by classic and moderate colors, diluted with various bright accents. In many cases, minimalist interiors are decorated with brickwork (it can be both natural and imitated). When choosing suitable wall panels for brick or real stones, it is very important to keep in mind that they should overlap with the rest of the tones in an uncomplicated interior.
Grunge
The grunge direction is a combination of several styles. Thanks to the style mix in such environments, you can safely use a variety of (and even avant-garde) details. In the grunge style, white brick walls with dark joints and seams look spectacular.
In addition, the finish can be made with an imitation of aging - the masonry can be frayed or even damaged in certain places.
High tech
Hi-tech is a modern style with a predominance of restrained colors, as well as materials such as plastic, metal and glass. White brick walls look good in such interiors.
High-tech furnishings are not often complemented by natural brickwork. Instead, they often choose tiles that imitate a real snow-white stone.Against the background of this finish, contrasting pieces of furniture in gray or black, diluted with glass or chrome elements, look great.
The result is high-tech and progressive ensembles that are far from classics or country country.
Classic
Oddly enough, white brickwork can also be present in a classic interior. Thanks to such a decoration, it will be possible to bring into the atmosphere the notes of aristocracy, characteristic of castles from the distant Middle Ages.
Interesting design ideas
White brick walls look stylish, fresh and inviting. Often, bases with such a finish become accent and attract the most attention.
For example, it can be a bright living room with white walls and a ceiling. In such an environment, one wall can be finished with imitation brickwork or natural white stone. A clock and small caricature paintings with black lines should be hung on it. On the contrary, you can put up a soft brown corner sofa, which will look amazing in combination with brown-yellow parquet.
A brick can be used to decorate a wall with a window in a room. If the rest of the walls are covered with wallpaper, then the stone should be combined with them. For example, it can be abstract canvases with stripes of different shades of purple. In this setting, there is a place for light furniture, light floors, live plants and chrome tables.
Red brick looks great when combined with red. For example, you can hang a decorative scarlet / burgundy canvas on such a wall and put a gray sofa in front with decorative pillows in a coral / orange hue. You will get a bright and fashionable ensemble.
