Types of Accent Walls

Brick Accent Walls

Revel in the character of rugged, uneven bricks, as they tend to leave a more intriguing impression. And if you're not a fan of the classic brick look in your old home, simply paint over it and infuse your space with a pop of color while preserving that oh-so-beloved texture. Embrace the beauty of brick.

Transform any room into an inviting and stylish space with the timeless beauty of brick. Whether it's for a cozy bedroom, modern den, or sophisticated kitchen, adding an accent wall brings depth, texture, and warmth to your home that only bricks can provide. For a classic look in the kitchen pair warm shades of brick against stainless steel appliances for contrasting colors that enchant.


Which Wall is Right for Your Space?

When it comes to creating the perfect accent wall for your space, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Think about what colors and patterns already work with your furniture motif and layout.
