Brick walls can add dimension, color, and texture to your space. While being incredibly strong and sturdy, a brick accent wall can also elevate your interior space to make it look more architectural and grounded. However, not all of us are blessed with natural interior brick walls in our homes, so to fix that you can create an easy cheap version with some peel-and-stick wallpaper or textured wall panels.
With either real or faux brick walls you can keep them natural, whitewash them, or paint them entirely for a more toned-down look in your home.
