Brick look wallpaper

8 years ago

I live in a new 1 bedroom apartment and want to make the TV less dominating in my open plan living room. As the building has an industrial look I was thinking of brick wallpaper - tacky or too much?

What dohraime said.

Everyone here knows my aversion to grey so don't tell anyone I said so, but I think a deep grey wall could look good too - something the TV could disappear into. There are paints now with like a suede finish if you wanted to add some extra interest, or do you know you can get paintable wallpapers. Bunnings have them but probably other places do too. They are an embossed paper you just paint over.

You could also put a series of black and white photographs across the wall to detract from the TV too.

If you love the look, why not. Especially given wallpaper is non permanent. My concern would be the pattern could be distracting when you are watching tv...

What type of brick look are you thinking of? The whitewashed look, distressed red brick?

The wood wallpapers could bring in industrial look also. Something in the grey tones to tie in with your sheers perhaps?

My brother-in-law runs a online photo slide show on the tv when they aren't watching programs. Beautiful photography from around the world. Much more interesting to look at the the black rectangle.

It'd becoming more common so price will drop. Porters Paints do wallpaper. I'd Google their closest stockist and try them Or Google seagrass wallpaper. Three australian stockists pop up, one who generally has good prices.

Hi Betty, There are lots of in between wall paper styles out there. We have a few examples of wallpaper feature walls (in a large room) or all walls (such as in a powder room). Here is the powder room link: https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/matilda-place-contemporary-powder-room-sydney-phvw-vp~92259318 I'll send through the other links in a few minutes. Hope these help to give you other ideas! Good luck. Cathy

Personally , all I'd do is run a fairly plain 80x30mm non-bevelled architrave ( is it called an architrave along the ceiling ? ) along the 2 long sides and over the gable , in a crisp white . The wood look and the grain is nice , even the warmth and sound deadening is good -- it just needs to be broken up and defined IMO . Look how pleasant the white surround around the door looks -- carry it on around the ceiling edge , mission accompliced .

A black & white city scene could help blend the tv in & they come in a removable wallpaper for when you want a change.

If you want industrial look you should start with changing your tv stand and get rid of country looking plant pot. I would go with sity skyline removable poster or a dark colour wall and if you are not renting hang tv on the wall.

Dohraime- lively that your brother runs his slideshows on it- but remember a lot of tv's only have a certain amount of life in them- if he's doing this all the time it's murder on the screen!

izbels, thanks. I didn't know that! (I don't even own a tv). I'll have to find out what he does exactly. He doesn't have the images there all the time. I probably worded my comment wrong. Good to know about affect on tv life all the same.
