Brick can make a room feel warm, architectural, and full of character without overwhelming the rest of the decor. Paint it white, soften it with limewash, highlight its natural red tones, or use brick-patterned wallpaper for a lighter update. These ideas show how brick walls work in bedrooms, kitchens, living spaces, bathrooms, and even outdoor settings.
Boudoir in Neutral Brick
Two gray lamps with cream shades sit on top of two white nightstands beside the bed. The large cream bed has many pillows and is set against a neutral beige brick accent wall.
Black Painted Walls with Brick Detail
In the black laundry room, several wooden floating shelves hang beside a large laundry sign. The sign is black and white, and it hangs from the brick accent wall. The brick wall contains this arrangement.
Brick Look Wallpaper
An inexpensive brick-patterned wallpaper at the dining room entrance is white and gives an easy brick appearance. In front of that wallpaper are the small end table, the white armchair, and the white woven basket.
Limewashed Brick Wall Interior
On the left side is a large wooden storage cabinet, set on a patterned area rug. The wood end table has a plant and a lamp on top.
A dark brown leather chair and matching dark brown leather ottoman are next to the table. Behind the chair, the brick interior wall has a limewashed finish.
Bookish Bedroom with Red Brick
The wall is red brick, and the big white bed looks soft and fluffy against it. A wood desk and shelves of books are right beside the bed. Near the wardrobe, a tall fiddle-leaf fig sits planted in a white wicker basket, giving the bedroom its bookish setting.
Boho Distressed Brick Wall
Plants and botanicals fill the top of a storage unit holding decor. Three framed architectural prints in black and white hang on the distressed gray brick wall, with the storage unit placed in front of it.
White Brick Wall Storage
White paint covers the brick wall, and three white pieces stand against it: a storage unit, a faux mantel, and a China cabinet. A woven basket sits on the storage unit with a pothos planted in it.
Industrial Brick Bedroom
Natural brick forms the backdrop for black industrial furniture. A black metal bedframe supports a plush white bed, and cream-and-red pillows sit on top. The pillows pick up the tones of the brick wall.
White Brick Kitchen and Stairwell
A black dining table sits with a white brick wall in the kitchen and stairwell. Black chairs and a black rug are nearby. The floor is dark hardwood.

Bed Beneath Three Small Windows
Two off-white nightstands beside the bed hold floral decor and two metal lamps with white shades. The bed itself has modern white bedding and a black modern headboard, along with furry throw pillows and a sherpa blanket in a matching color. A wood tray on the bed contains candles, vibrant purple flowers, and a white pitcher planter, and a wood bench is placed at its foot.
Cream Reading Corner
The walls are painted cream brick, with a floating oak shelf above the chaise and artwork on the shelf. The chaise has a cream cushion, pillows, and a woven throw.
At one end, a small wood stool holds a ceramic container with dried botanicals. A closed journal sits next to the container and the stool.
White Interior with Brick Features
Beside the bed, a wood nightstand supports a gray lamp and stands next to the cream brick side wall. The white bed has a beige upholstered headboard and rests against white shiplap siding across the wall and ceiling.
Classic Clay Bedroom
White bed linens match the lamp, which has a black metal base and a white shade. The lamp rests on a wooden nightstand beside a potted green fern. Both the dark gray headboard and the nightstand sit against a pale brick accent wall.
Cottage Bedroom
A potted plant sits on a nightstand to the left of a large bed. The bed has a beige tufted headboard and is against a painted brick wall, while a wall sconce is mounted above the plant.
Mid-Tone Brick Wall
Two cream armchairs have a navy throw pillow on top. The glass coffee table is made of glass.
A textured rug is in the modern sitting area. One large snake plant is there as well, while white storage units stand before a mid-tone brick wall.
Dark Brickwork Accent Wall
The bed has a black headboard, with a wall behind it. On the left side, a distressed white end table sits below a black wall sconce.
Interior With Brick and Tile
The beige tile floor meets a rustic brick wall. In front of the wall, a hanging couch swing is filled with a pillow and surrounded by a lantern and multiple woven baskets. The baskets hold a pumpkin, a pillow, and a blanket.
Limewashed Brick Doorway
A white shiplap wall meets limewashed brick in this farmhouse kitchen. Multiple floating shelves contain cooking equipment and a blue vase holding dried botanicals. A wooden credenza stands in front, and the shelves hold the cooking equipment and vase.
Interior Stone Wall
A patterned gray rug lies beneath the wooden coffee table, which sits beside a white cushioned couch against the room’s gray stone brick wall. On the tabletop, a ZZ plant adds greenery, while two end tables each come with a tall lamp.
Living Room With a Stone Fireplace
A large flat-screen TV is mounted on the wood mantel above a fireplace covered in neutral-gray brick that extends across the far wall. At the fireplace are a snake plant, a ZZ plant, an Alocasia, some plants, and a few pillows.
Brick Wall Gallery for a Bedroom
A tray made of galvanized metal rests on the white, ruffled bed, holding a pine bough with flocking and books in a stack. Behind it, a brick wall supports multiple images using black and white. Two white side tables stand beside the bed, and each has a lamp.
Modern Baseboards in a Brick and Wood Bath
Rustic hardwood covers the floor, with a patterned rug in white and dark gray placed over it. A tall, flat white baseboard runs around the bathroom, alongside a brick feature wall in a dark gray shade.
Gray Brick Wallpaper in the Kitchen
Gray brick-pattern wallpaper in the kitchen surrounds the doorway. The gray counter supports multiple white cabinets, and a long brown rug rests over flooring made of dark wood.
Home Office Windowpane Double Doors
A large snake plant stands on the light wood flooring and faces the doors. The doors are large, white, and windowpane style, with white decorative trim around them. Beyond them, the home office is in a room with a brick accent wall, alongside a light gray wall.
Brick Wall with Mortar Smears
A white marble chimneypiece is set on the mortar-smeared wall. Rustic wood furniture sits on a patterned Persian rug. The white wall with a window is perpendicular to the mortar-smeared wall.
Brick Wall in a Small Neutral Bedroom
A carved wooden headboard stands in front of the window, which is covered by a sheer white curtain that still allows natural light through. The bed has a brown-and-white accent pillow resting on a neural-colored quilt.
Nearby, a wooden nightstand holds a beige-and-white lamp, stacked books, and greenery. A large farmhouse print hangs on the whitewashed rustic brick wall.
