Brick is a common design feature in landscaping. However, exposed brick walls are also popular for interior design and don’t require major renovations to install. Whether you’re seeking an urban feel or something more rustic, here are some ways to transform the look of your home with brick.

How to Incorporate Brick Into Your Interior Design

1. Use Thin Brick Instead of Regular Brick

Thin brick offers a real clay brick veneer, cut much thinner than your typical brick. As a lightweight and space-saving alternative to traditional brick, it’s more versatile, often used for backsplash, accent walls, and ceilings. Thin brick can easily be applied on top of drywall at almost half the cost of regular brick. It’s also available in a variety of colors and textures.

2. Install It As Flooring

Brick and stone are often used in landscaping to create walkways, and the same can be done for the interior of your home. Brick flooring makes a bold and warm statement when used in the entryway, and it is often used as flooring for basements. Brick flooring adds character to a room and is easy to maintain.

3. Build an Archway

Brick archways offer a chance to incorporate brick in spaces where it doesn’t otherwise match the rest of the interior. Since archways exist in hallways, they are part of transitional spaces and make a unique room divider.
