Add Character to Your Home with Brick Decor

1. Small Wall in the Entryway

It doesn’t take a lot of brick to create a stunning effect. A small wall in the mudroom or entryway of your house, or even a 3-foot-by-8-foot bricked area behind a desk or coat rack can make a big visual impact. Try a [brick veneer](https://www.flooranddecor.com/ledgers-stone?start=0&sz=48) over drywall for a space-saving alternative.

2. Kitchen Backsplash

A brick backsplash in your kitchen provides a substantial visual impact. It adds a vibrant and textured accent that can easily blend with various kitchen designs, ranging from modern to traditional to contemporary. Alternatively, you can try [glazed ceramic bricks or subway tiles](https://www.flooranddecor.com/subway-decoratives), which offer a non-porous surface that glistens and gleams.

3. Break Up Tall Walls with Brick

Whether it's on the gable end of a house or the exposed side of an upper-story interior wall, tall walls can appear a bit bland. Through the color and texture that brick adds, you can really make a wall stand out. Painting brick is also an option if you are looking for something other than the traditional look.

4. Embrace Traditions

Particularly for small areas like the corner of a sunroom, the wall space over an arched doorway or window, using lots of globby mortar can look fantastic. Lay it on thick and enjoy the rustic look. Chipped or antique-looking bricks also add to the effect.

5. Make Your Bathroom Shine

Your bathroom is a great area for brick on both the walls and the floor. This is where looking through [brick shape](https://www.flooranddecor.com/decoratives?prefn1=shape&prefv1=Rectangle) products can really pay off. Decorative designs and neutral or bright white shades really make the bathroom stand out. Whichever you choose, ensure the tiles are glazed to avoid water absorption.
