If you are renovating and can recover the old brick in your house, we encourage you to do so. But it may also be that your house is not that old and the material of the walls is not that exposed brick that was used decades ago. Don’t worry, if you like its effect, you can get it by wallpaper or vinyl or PVC coatings that imitate it perfectly (like other materials, such as concrete, marble or natural stone). You can even find them in different shades, painted white or embossed – in the case of PVC coatings.
