If you are hoping to cover a living room wall in thin brick, for example, but you have decorated the rest of the room in neutral colors, there is no need to despair. Thin brick comes in more shades than just red. Grays, whites, and a mix of white-black-and gray bricks are just some of the options that will compliment lighter colored rooms. On the other hand, a darker toned room room, an office or kitchen perhaps, where reds, greens, blacks, and browns might dominate, shades of red thin brick can make powerful accents. In a bathroom done in blues, greens, or similar colors, choose a brick style like Mountain Stone (which is textured to look like limestone) to add an organic feel to the room.

Whatever color and style you choose, there are many places where thin brick can be affixed.

You might even consider using brick as wainscoting or as a border between walls and ceilings. Thing brick is a great way to create that gorgoeos and often sought after ‘exposed brick’ feel. No need to worry about construction and destruction, just apply an area of thin brick to capture that urban elegance feel.
