Brick house - walls inside: decoration

Despite the fact that wood is very popular as a structural material for building houses, bricks and various wall blocks are still the leaders in this. The main reason is the fact that construction timber is not available in all regions, and the delivery price from where it is can double the cost of a house.
Brick factories work safely in almost all areas of the country. In this article we will talk about how to decorate the brick walls inside the house, and how to create a beautiful interior of a room.

Home decoration

Drywall is the most versatile material that can be used in home decoration any: brick, wooden, stone, built of cellular concrete.
So:

• This material has a lot of advantages. We will talk about them in this part of the article.
  And also we will give some examples that clearly show what wonderful interiors you can create using GKL.
• Sheathing the walls with gypsum sheets eliminates the need for wet processes. This results in a perfectly flat surface of the walls, which can be painted, glued with wallpaper, gypsum or polystyrene tiles.

False ceiling and working niches

• It is also important that plasterboard can not only sheathe walls, use it to zonate and plan the space of the house, make decorative partitions and niches (see.How to finish a niche in the wall and in the partition).
• By the way, niches made of gypsum fiber sheets (GVL) can also be working, that is, they are able to withstand loads from the weight of various objects and household appliances.
• If it’s a living room, but in the niches there can be a TV, musical equipment, books. If the kitchen is a microwave or even dishes.
  That is, the use of working niches also saves our money, eliminating the need to purchase excess furniture.

Decorative columns and niche

• Pay attention to the interior pictured above. As we can see, the interior decoration of the brick house was made with drywall.
  In addition to wall cladding, a two-level suspended ceiling, decorative columns (see alsoColumn decoration: doing it right), as if supporting it, and a wall niche with illumination, imitating a window. And all this is made of one material!
• It is also important that using GCR in the interior decoration of the house, thanks to the creation of a skeleton for the skin, the issue of its insulation can be easily solved. After all, not all types of facade decoration allow you to insulate the house from the outside.
• In brick, block and stone houses, as a rule, there is a residential attic. So, the inner lining of the roof slopes, with simultaneous warming, is the only acceptable way to finish this room.

Lining of the attic with drywall

• Drywall sheets are one of the best options for exercising. attic finishes in a certain style. On the photo above: the walls and ceiling of the bedroom located on the attic floor are covered with gypsum plaster and decorated with fabric.
• Together with original accessories: a curtain, a chandelier and furniture - the interior turned out to be in Provence style. Why don't you decorate the attic in your home in this way?
• And also about suspended ceilings: in private houses, the height of the floor is always greater than in a typical apartment. This allows you to perform in the house, ceiling structures of any complexity and volume, using a variety of materials.
  And the drywall in this list is at number one.

False plasterboard ceiling in the kitchen

• Perhaps, only in bathrooms, gypsum ceilings, as well as wall cladding, are made very rarely. Although, if you take moisture resistant sheets (GKLV), then why not?
  In our next example, hanging plasterboard ceilingmade in the kitchen. The gentle pastel color of the finish, the spot and neon lights of the structure make this rather modest room very interesting.
• Speaking of ceiling structures, it should be noted that here drywall is often combined with other types of materials. In particular, with a stretch canvas.
  In this regard, we will consider the following photo, and see the beautiful design of the lobby, or the hallway - as you like.

Original lobby design

Here the walls, and part of the ceiling structure, are made of gypsum plaster. Between the curvilinear figures of the drywall ceiling, a PVC canvas is stretched.
Moreover, its unusual bottle-green color has a darker shade than the finish walls made in the same color scheme with the ceiling. The beauty of the interior is emphasized by the originally executed concrete staircase.
Particularly beautiful are the forged stair railings, probably made to order.

Decor and plastering of masonry

No matter how convenient drywall is, it is not always advisable to use it, at least for walls. For example, if the decoration of the brick walls inside the house will be done using decorative plaster, this is done on the base surface.
So:

• Suppose, wall insulation will be carried out in the process of facade decoration. And inside the house, the owner wants to use wallpaper in the decoration.
  Then it is better to align the walls in the traditional way. You can, of course, glue the wallpaper on gypsum board, but if they are not dense enough without a relief, the surface of the gypsum board must be completely puttied.
• It is much easier, in this case, to plaster the wall. Moreover, there are plasters with thermal insulation properties.
  We will not talk about decorative plasters now. Our site has an exhaustive article on all types of this material.
• We will talk about how to finish the brick walls inside the house, leveled using ordinary plaster mortar. And there is something to talk about, since there are a great many options for finishing the plastered surface.

Room decor with plastered walls and ceiling

• The process of plastering the premises is carried out using dry mixes on a gypsum basis, sold in bags of 25 kg. They are already balanced in components, and to knead the solution, you just need to add water, as prescribed by the manufacturer's instructions.
• Brick walls are cleaned from the influx of mortar and dust, and treated with a primer. This is necessary so that the wall surface does not absorb moisture from the solution, which ensures their better adhesion. It is also necessary to process each subsequent layer of plaster.
• Not everyone can do such a job with their own hands, even if they watch the video. It is better to entrust plastering to specialists, but you need to make sure that priming of the layers is mandatory.
  The quality and durability of the screed will depend on this. If everything is done as it should, the need for repair will not arise soon, in any case, in replacing the plaster.
• So, the surfaces are leveled and it's time to finish. But before we get down to it, we need to talk a bit about the now fashionable loft style.
  The essence of this style is that one wall of a brick or block house is left without plastering. That is, the decoration of the brick wall inside the house, is the lack of finishing.

Loft style brick house decoration

• In this case, brickwork is the main decoration of the interior.And it is directly decorated.
  If this is an internal partition, then it can initially be laid out from a facing brick.
• Hollow brick has a beautiful smooth surface. A solid brick can have decorative chips, making it look like a stone.
  The colors of the facing brick can also be very different, since pigments are used in the process of its production.
• So, a brick wall, in itself, can look very beautiful. It will be enough to process it with hydrophobic impregnation, or make decorative jointing.
  And it is possible, after processing the wall with soil, to paint its surface. In principle, this way you can finish not only a brick wall, but also a block, and concrete.

Decor of block masonry walls

• In general, the image of masonry is very popular among the population. Therefore, manufacturers offer our attention a lot of wall coverings with such a pattern.
• There is even a kind of decorative plaster that imitates the pattern of masonry, not to mention the different options for wallpaper. So, masonry can be simulated without problems, but this will not be relevant to the loft style.
• Let's get back to plastering. So, the walls and ceilings are aligned, and you have to interior decoration of the house of brick.
  Naturally, no one will decorate all the rooms the same way, and you need to think about their interior based on functionality.
• Many homes under construction today have either a fireplace or stove - and sometimes both. They can be located on any floor, even the attic.
• But if it is the first floor, or basement, then the chimney will stretch through all floors located above it. In order for the chimney to organically fit into the interior of each of the rooms, it needs to be beaten, trimmed so that it blends nicely with the walls.
• In this case, decorative stone is often used in the decoration: both natural and its analogues. Including flexible acrylic tiles that mimic brick or masonry.
  The example below shows a variant of such a wall decoration under the stairs, and a nearby chimney.

Chimney and wall decoration under the stairs

• A rough furnace can be lined with stone, and the entire wall in which it is located. Such decoration, as in the case with the decor of brickwork, is not done throughout the house.
  Only one wall or its individual fragments is revetted, panels are made, niches are decorated. The remaining walls can be plastered and painted in one room, papered with wallpaper in another.
• And here is another example of finishing one wall, well, a maximum of two - this is a wallpaper with a three-dimensional image, a kind of photo wallpaper. Or, as they are also called, 3D wallpapers.
  With their help, you can decorate the interior of any room in the house. But, of course, it’s not worth getting too carried away, and sticking murals in all rooms.

3D wallpaper in the interior of the house

• In general, wallpaper is the only material that can be used to decorate all rooms in the house, and at the same time, never repeat. There are such a variety of wall coverings that can be called wallpaper with a stretch.
• There are options with natural wood and stone veneer, with bamboo and cork, corrugated and embossed, pure paper and with polymer additives. Wallpaper can imitate anything, and a combination of different types, as well as the methods of their stickers, gives excellent results.
• Sheets of wallpaper are glued not only vertically, as we are used to, but also horizontally. Combine two or three types on one wall or paste over each wall in different ways.
  For this, wallpapers with the same texture or pattern, but different colors, are suitable. In another embodiment, it can be completely different patterns, but in the same color scheme.

Striped wallpaper glued across the wall

• So in our next example, one of these tricks is shown. The main decoration of this bedroom is the wall at the head of the bed.
  Wallpaper, with a fashionable now wide strip, is glued across the wall. The leather panel on it complements the finish, and protects the wallpaper from accidental damage.
• The remaining walls are glued with plain wallpaper, harmonizing in color with a striped wall. With the same success, plain wall decoration can be done by painting the plastered surface or wallpaper for painting.
• As for the bathroom, it can also be decorated with wallpaper. Fortunately, in private homes, bathrooms are spacious, and often they have windows that allow you to ventilate the room, reducing the level of humidity.
  And many types of wallpaper are not afraid of this moisture.

Bathroom in a brick house

But most people, nevertheless, prefer the traditional decoration of the bathroom - with ceramic tiles. If the house is just built, and gets off for the first time, tiled cladding is even easier to complete.
Many experienced craftsmen lay it without prior alignment of surfaces. Tile glue is added to the cement mortar, and the wall is brought out according to the level.
But preliminary waterproofing must be done! About all the intricacies of this work, look for articles on our website.

Tree in brick house design

The wood trim of the brick house also has a place to be. After all, only walls were erected from brick, and the structural elements of the roof are wooden.
Here they can be fully used in design. If the building is one-story, without an attic, then the ceiling beams can serve as an excellent basis for the design of the ceiling.

Supporting ceiling beams in the design of the room

So:

• The space between them can be hemmed by a dock lining, or, as in the example above, with drywall. The beams themselves are carefully sanded, sanded and painted, usually in contrast.
• And usually they are in harmony in color with the furniture in the room. And in this case, decorative wooden panels are made on the walls.
  Moreover, they are not standard, but clearly custom-made.

Wood trim

• If you want the interior decoration of a brick house with a tree to be made in such a way that you get the feeling that you are in a wooden house - this can be done without problems.
• To achieve this goal, it is possible to make a suspended ceiling from wooden modules, to hem it with a lining, to paste over ceiling panels with wood or bamboo veneer.
• If, at the same time, the walls are faced with imitation of timber or block-house, there will be a complete impression that the house is timber or log. For wood flooring, there are also many opportunities.
  This is typesetting and panel board parquet, parquet and planed board.

You can use other flooring that mimics wood: laminate, linoleum, and even porcelain stoneware. There are plenty of options, and we wish you to find the one that will make your home as comfortable and cozy as possible.
