Brick wall in the bathroom

Brick in the bathroom? It may sound unusual, but a brick wall can add character and unique style to any interior. Brick is perfect for a bathroom, introducing a raw, industrial atmosphere that is both cozy and elegant. If you properly protect the brick against moisture, it is a durable and beautiful element of your bathroom. We present how to combine brick with other materials, what colors best match it and how to arrange a bathroom so that the brick wall is its main decoration.

Is brick suitable for a bathroom?

A brick wall will work great in the bathroom, provided it is properly protected. The most important thing is to protect the brick against moisture and mold. It is worth using special impregnations or varnishes for this purpose, which will protect the brick surface without changing its natural appearance. Appropriate protection will make the brick durable and easy to clean.

If you do not want to invest in brick impregnation, brick tiles also look good on a wall in an industrial-style bathroom. The choice on the market is very wide and you can choose the material that suits you best.

What is more - against the background of a brick wall, white bathtubs, shower cabins with expressive details, a white shower tray or light tiles will be the center of the entire interior.

What to combine bricks with in the bathroom?

A brick wall looks interesting in the bathroom space if we combine it with details that will not only complement it but also emphasize the entire style of the room:

• the combination of brick and wood brings warmth and naturalness to the interior - wooden furniture, shelves and accessories blend perfectly with the rawness of the brick, creating a harmonious and cozy space;
• metal elements, fittings, handles, mirror frames and lamps emphasize the industrial character of the brick - black or white color versions work well here;
• any transparent glass shower enclosures or shelves adds lightness and modernity to the interior in which brick appears - the glass perfectly balances its massiveness, introducing spaciousness into the interior.

Brick on the wall – what colors match it?

To prevent the red brick from dominating the bathroom interior, additional colors should be introduced:

• white - white walls, floor tiles or white furniture and white assembly products bring freshness to the bathroom, and also contrast perfectly with the brick, emphasizing its structure and color;
• grays - from light to dark ones - create an elegant and modern space with the brick;
• black - not only adds expressiveness to the interior, but also makes the brick elements a background for the other products used in the arrangement - the whole thing takes on an industrial style and harmonizes perfectly with each other;
• green - plants, accessories or accents in a shade of green bring naturalness and freshness to the bathroom, perfectly matching the warm tones of the brick and balancing them.

Bathroom with brick on the wall – arrangement

Here, one of the main roles is played by a wall lined with red brick. The remaining walls are painted light gray, which creates a harmonious but expressive base. Against the background of a brick wall there is a white washbasin, which is the focal point of the bathroom. A round mirror in a metal frame is hung above it, emphasizing the industrial character of the interior. The glass shower door adds lightness to the interior, and the lighting in the form of industrial ceiling lamps creates a warm, pleasant atmosphere.
