DIY quick and easy brick makeover!
We wanted to modernise and neautralise the existing beige brick wall to create a statement point in the living room without taking away the classic 'brick look'.
Our method:
Step 1 : paint both bricks and mortar lines white using a rat tail paintbrush for mortar lines and roller for the bricks.
Note: use the paintbrush to coat any textured bricks or patches that the roller does not reach.
Step 2 : use a roller only to apply grey paint or colour of choice to bricks, leaving the mortar lines white.
Repeat step 2 for greater coverage and a more contrasted look.
Note: ensure that there is only a light coat of paint on roller to reduce chance of paint dripping into grout lines.
3 coats of paint later, we are super happy with this wall and it's now the focal point of our living room!
