Transform Your Space with Brick Wallpaper: A Stunning Aussie Makeover

Introduction

The aesthetic charm that is found on exposed brick walls-they add warmth and texture and an urban edge to any place. But what if you like this brick idea without the hassle (and expense) of real masonry? Here comes removable brick wallpaper, just the solution for getting that loft-style look without the commitment. 

Today, we highlight another fantastic home transformation by Paula, an amazing DIYer from Australia, and this time, she graced her home using a very textured brick-patterned wallpaper found within the Modern Rustic collection to complete her very appealing accent walls. The best part? She has pulled off a very distinct vibe in each of her rooms-all using the same wallpaper! 

If you have also been struck down by any bold wall treatments, Paula's project proves that one wallpaper can be the one-source for versatility when chosen with the right décor. Let's see how we can also detangle that makeover by exploring and diving into her inspiring transformation.

The Magic of Brick Wallpaper: Why It Works

Before we get into Paula’s stunning designs, let’s talk about why faux brick wallpaper is such a game-changer: 

• No Mess, No Stress – Unlike real brick, which requires tearing down, application of mortar, and constant upkeep, brick wallpaper can be installed very easily, is lightweight, and causes no mess. 

• Rent-Friendly & Removable –Perfect for renters or those who like to change things up, it is repositionable and will not damage walls. 

• Endless Design Flexibility – The same brick design can bring a charming rustic feel or an awe-inspiring modern look depending on your accessorizing. 

• Luxurious Look at an Affordable Cost- A way to get the upscale feel at a fraction of the cost of real brick or stone. 

Paula’s home teaches you how to put all of those advantages to perfect use. Let’s break down the two gorgeous transformations she made in each room.

Room 1: Cozy Rustic Charm

Wallpaper Used:Textured Brick from the Modern Rustic Collection

Paula’s first space exudes warm, farmhouse-inspired vibes. Here’s how she made the brick wallpaper feel perfectly rustic: 

Key Decor Elements:

• Warm Wood Tones – A reclaimed wood shelf and natural timber furniture soften the industrial brick. 

• Soft-textured chunky-knit throw and linen bedding give comfort. 

• An antique-style lamp and distressed wall art elevate that cozy, lived-in feel. 

• Earthy color palette-Muted greens, creams, and browns keep the space grounded.

Why It Works:

Sandy-colored bricks with organic textures and warm lighting pair to create a space that is entering and timeless-a country cottage with an urban twist, in Paula's opinion.

Room 2: Modern Urban Loft

Same Wallpaper, Totally Different Vibe!

A step apart, Paula converted another room into a minimalist getaway—proof of the fact that brick wallpaper is not used in just rustic settings.

Key Decor Elements:

• Minimalist Furniture: Where mid-century modern items are clean-lined but serve to keep the look sharp and precise.

• Add a little metallic touch: like a sleek gold floor lamp and mirrored accents bringing some glamour to the room.

• Black and white art - photogrammetry in black and white looks particularly good against a textured brick wall. 

• Crisp Bedding: A white duvet, black piping: keeps the whole thing fresh and modern.

Why It Works:

Exposed brick here feels perfectly edgy and sophisticated, displaying a distinct New York City loft vibe. Paula proved that one wallpaper can go from one end of the design spectrum to the other by trading in warm and cozy textures for sleek.

Why Removable Wallpaper is a Design Superpower

Paula’s home isn’t just beautiful—it’s also adaptable. Because she used removable wallpaper, she can: 

• Switch up her decor seasonally (think: moody tones for winter, bright accents for summer). 

• Refresh the space without repainting or renovating. 

• Experiment with bold looks risk-free. 

For renters, this is especially valuable—you can personalize your space without losing your security deposit!
