The main advantages of the "brick" wallpaper

It should be noted that this brickwork does not always exceed its imitation. However, in most cases, spreading the wall over small fragments or building a real brick wall is not possible. There can be many reasons for this:

• The living area is too small for such a procedure.
• The owners do not have the skills to put a brick.
• There is no material to match the design.
• The supporting structure is very weak and does not withstand the weight of the brick.
• The deadlines for repair work are limited.
• Not enough money to implement the idea.

It should be noted that the design of the room with wallpaper for a brick has a huge number of advantages:

• A wide range of different styles that give room for further design.
• It's very easy to perform finishing work.
• The material weighs little, so you can trim any walls and structures without any restrictions.
• Finishing on walls of different character is possible: they can be uneven or rounded.
• Brick "cold" living quarters, because because of the large mass, it can not fully warm up.
• The price of material and installation is much lower than natural masonry.

What are the wallpaper for a brick?

There are three types of wallpaper:

• Paper.
• Vinyl.
• Non-woven.

They differ from each other both in quality, which are caused by the difference in the basis, and by the realistic simulation of the brick surface itself. Compare, to choose the ideal design of walls for a brick:

• The best, as a rule, consider vinyl wallpaper, which are made of expanded plastic. Such a coating well imitates not only the appearance of the masonry, but also its texture. In addition to decorative, they have a protective function.
• It is also worth noting that vinyl wallpaper can withstand frequent washing, high humidity, and temperature. In addition, such a material is resistant to abrasion, and from this it follows that they can be used both in the design of the hallway with wallpaper for brick, and in the kitchen and bathroom.
• As for non-woven wallpaper, they also look very believable, and in addition they are easier to stick. Also their huge plus for state employees is a low price. But unlike the first option, the material is not so realistic and wear-resistant.

Important! Paper analogues are not considered here, because both in terms of performance and design, they significantly lose the other 2 options. Especially when it comes to imitating brickwork.

Use in the interior

You can use the imitation of brick walls in the same places as the original material. As a rule, it is used for the purpose of zoning the premises, and therefore are very functional.

Important! There is one exception - these wallpapers should not be glued in the kitchen, otherwise - soon they will have to be replaced.

Also consider that the more realistic the coverage, the more original your room will look. It is worth listening to the following tips of designers:

• The wallpaper design directly depends on the area of ​​the room: the smaller the living area, the lighter the painted brick should be.
• If a large amount of light falls on a wall, you can choose wallpaper with masonry texture - so it will be very realistic. In other cases, you can use the wallpaper.
• Such wallpaper is better to use if the style of your interior is Gothic or Loft. In other cases, this material is used exclusively for the zoning of living space.

Let's talk about the design of the

So, the wallpaper under the brick is pasted. Further, they can differ in three parameters:

• Figure. Bricks in drawings always differ in size and shape: they can be small or large, rectangular or square. It's also worth noting that the imitated brick itself can look "as new" or as if it's been for many years.

Important! Given these factors, you can choose the design of the room or the entire room. For example, for the style of Provence, a brick with small defects is suitable, and in the style of Loft only exceptionally smooth masonry is appropriate.

• Texture. Here everything is simpler - the more realistic and bold the picture, the wall seems more natural. That's why manufacturers sometimes add a brick crumb to such a surface in order to reproduce the relief of a real brick wall.
• Masonry color. Imitation can be absolutely any color, for example, it can repeat the original color of the brick or create a feeling of its artificial coloring. As it was noted earlier, its color is chosen to match the area of ​​the room. If you want to visually increase the room, choose a light brick, otherwise - vice versa.

Selection of the color range

There are three basic colors for the design of walls for brick: red, white and gray. Let's consider, for what each of variants of such palette use:

• Red. This color is as close as possible to natural brickwork. They usually work out individual plots: they allocate a place by the fireplace, TV, they seal arches and columns. Having pasted at least one wall of the room, you will immediately notice how it has changed and has begun to live a new life.
• White. The texture of such a masonry will complicate the space, and the white color will expand it.
• Gray. Such a masonry is neutral, therefore such wallpaper can cover entire rooms. This color, just like the previous one, visually expands the space and visually conceals the volume of the room.

The design of the room with wallpaper under the brick is able to revive even the most boring and worn interior. Most likely, this is why designers are increasingly advised to resort to this option.
