Real Brick Walls for Grand Rapids Interiors

Why Are Brick Accent Walls So Popular in West Michigan Homes?

Brick accent walls are everywhere right now — restaurants, coffee shops, loft apartments, and now regular homes across West Michigan. The look works because real brick brings warmth, texture, and character that paint and wallpaper cannot match. Whether you want a rustic farmhouse feel or a clean industrial look, interior brick delivers.

What Are the Two Ways to Get Brick on Interior Walls?

There are two ways to get brick on your interior walls. If your home has original brick behind drywall or plaster — common in older Grand Rapids homes near Heritage Hill, East Grand Rapids, and the Wealthy Street corridor — we can expose and restore it. If the brick is not there already, we install thin brick veneer that looks and feels exactly like a full brick wall but weighs a fraction of what real full-depth brick weighs.

Is Thin Brick Veneer the Same as Real Brick?

Thin brick veneer has come a long way. The pieces we install are actual clay-fired brick, sliced thin. They are not fake. They are not printed. Run your hand across the wall and you feel real brick texture, real mortar joints, real variation in color. The difference from a full brick wall? Far less weight hitting your wall framing.

Can Interior Brick Be Installed Year-Round?

Interior brick installation happens year-round since it is all indoor work. Your home stays at the right temperature for mortar to cure properly regardless of the season. We serve clients in Rockford, Lowell, Caledonia, Hudsonville, and throughout West Michigan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect an interior brick wall project? ▼

The main factors are wall size, the style of thin brick veneer you choose, and the complexity of the layout. Exposed brick restoration — where we uncover existing brick behind plaster or drywall — depends on the condition of the brick underneath. We provide a detailed estimate during a free in-home consultation.

Is thin brick veneer real brick? ▼

Yes. The thin brick veneer we install is actual clay-fired brick that has been sliced to about half an inch thick. It has the same color, texture, and feel as full-thickness brick. It is not a printed panel or a plastic imitation. You are getting real brick on your wall.

Can you expose the brick behind my plaster walls? ▼

In many older Grand Rapids homes, yes. We carefully remove plaster and lath to reveal the original brick underneath, then clean, repair, and seal it. Not every home has brick behind the walls, and sometimes the brick is in poor condition. We can do a small test area to check before committing to the full project.

How long does interior brick installation take? ▼

A single accent wall typically takes two to three days. Exposed brick restoration can take three to five days depending on the condition of the brick and the amount of plaster removal needed. We give you a clear timeline before any work starts.

Does interior brick make a room feel smaller? ▼

A single accent wall actually makes most rooms feel more interesting without closing them in. The texture adds depth and draws the eye. We usually recommend one wall — not all four — for the best visual effect. Lighter brick colors like whitewash or cream keep the space feeling open.

Can thin brick veneer be installed in a kitchen? ▼

Yes. Brick accent walls work beautifully in kitchens — behind open shelving, on a dining nook wall, or as a full feature wall opposite the cabinets. For the backsplash area directly behind a cooktop, we recommend a sealed thin brick or porcelain tile for easier cleaning.
