Reclaimed Brick & Stone Accent Walls
A brick accent wall brings complexity, character, and history into a space in a way few materials can. Whether you’re creating a warm focal point or providing a backdrop to display mounted or shelved decor, the distinct variations of reclaimed brick can achieve everything from rustic warmth to modern contrast.
Warm-Toned Brick Accent Walls
The mix of warm reds to terracottas creates a classic lived-in look. And the imperfect textures, dimensions and tones make our Mill Blend ideal for brick accent walls that feel inviting and authentically aged.
Cool-Toned Brick Accent Walls
Cooler in tone, Antique Grey offers a more contemporary feel. It’s well-suited for spaces where an understated palette lets the texture and obvious age of the brick draw the eye. The range of subtle greys, complimented by flashes of chalk and soot, makes an interesting option for a brick accent wall.
WHite-Washed Brick accent walls
Some people prefer to use a white-wash over their reclaimed brick tiles. A simple lime-water mixture is applied to the tiles. Adjusting the ratio allows you to find the aesthetic you prefer, from mild to opaque, with the bricks’ character still showing through.
Brick Accent walls using floor tiles
While our wall tiles are cut from the face of the brick, our floor tiles come from the top and bottom. Rather than the wall tile’s 2.25″ width, you get a 4″ width with the floor tile. Depending on room and wall size, along with personal preference, Some people prefer the larger width of the floor tile for their brick accent walls.

- Lighting: Consider whether natural light provides ideal focus to the wall, or if artificial light is necessary.
- Scale: The size of the room and the wall itself may dictate the dimensions of the veneer you choose, as well as the pattern.
- Decor: What do you want to do with your accent wall? Shelving, fixtures, and artwork can compliment your brick tile, or they can overwhelm or obscure it. Finding the right balance draws attention to an accent wall, but not at the expense of the overall room design.
