How to adopt the brick wall in the bathroom?
It is not so common to have an authentic brick wall in the bathroom. If this is not the case for you, you can cheat a little. The most accessible and easiest option to implement is non-woven wallpaper. The alternative is brick slips. Either way, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to effects and colors.
Brick wall in the bathroom: 14 ideas to adopt it
In its original color, the brick displays an orange-red hue. However, the brick wall can display different colors, including white. As the bathroom is often a room of modest dimensions, especially in apartments, it is important to choose the color of your brick wall carefully so that the room is cozy, but not stuffy.
The main trick to adopting the brick wall is therefore to adapt to the configuration of the bathroom. It is a question of taking into account the size of the room, but also its luminosity. If you love red brick, the easiest way is to associate it with white, especially in a small bathroom and/or a windowless bathroom.
No need to drop your current coating and completely revamp the bathroom to adopt the brick wall: with it, a touch is enough. And even an angle is suddenly sublimated.
The wall can be combined with the brick floor in the bathroom. This bold total look creates an aesthetic worthy of antique villas. It is always wise to introduce a second material in small touches, in order to make the decoration breathe: wood or lime, for example.
The brick wall blends harmoniously with the waxed concrete. This tandem is very common in the industrial bathroom. This mineral frame also works very nicely with a Scandinavian or bohemian decoration.
This assumed loft-style bathroom offers a little twist: here, an anthracite mosaic replaces the traditional waxed concrete. This bias gives it a very contemporary urban note.
The brick wall has a very rustic character. And just like waxed concrete, it perfectly sublimates delicate materials such as gilded brass, and refined materials such as marble. This type of association is ideal for creating a warm and elegant bathroom at the same time.
Too wise for you, the Nordic white and wood bathroom? Trust the brick wall to give it a strong personality. Do not hesitate to play with the finishes, by adopting a white brick with an irregular coating, which brings relief to the whole.
In this minimalist white bathroom, the brick wall is used both to warm the room and to structure the space, since it dresses the large walk-in shower.
Whether you fall for the cottagecore trend, for the bohemian decor or for the factory style in the bathroom, the brick wall is your ally. For a successful effect, combine it with a raw parquet floor, which will enhance the character of your bathroom.
The authentic brick wall inevitably catches the eye. To sublimate it, think of the lights. In this bathroom, the sconces that frame the mirror above the basin also have the particularity of highlighting the surface of the wall.
Who said bricks only fit horizontally? In this bathroom with a fairly low ceiling, we opted for a more dynamic pose and that changes everything!
In this country-style bathroom, the brick wall, the parquet floor and the vintage decorative elements rub shoulders with a free-standing bathtub and basins with a very contemporary design. They bring a contemporary note to the decor and a little lightness.
In a generously sized bathroom with sleek furnishings, there is no risk of visually weighing down the room. We therefore use without hesitation the brick wall to stage a bathtub with lion’s feet. Just be sure to choose the color carefully. White or a cool color will stand out more on a red brick wall. With white brick, it is better to focus exclusively on color – from powder pink to duck blue.
In the bathroom, brick offers many possibilities. In addition to the wall – or even on its own – you can opt for a creation such as the basin or the bath apron. A single imperative: to waterproof the bricks. Façade water repellent is a good solution – and it works just as well on real bricks as it does on brick slips.
