The Brickstone Porcelain Tile Collection: Bring Warmth And Richness To Your Space
June 07, 2019
Here’s an interesting home décor challenge — how can you add warmth and richness to a room without using a dark color palette or textiles? Plus, there’s a fine line between dark and cozy or dark and dreary. We’ve got an answer, though: brick-look porcelain tile!
Exposed brick adds that cozy, familiar vibe many homeowners seek, and it doesn’t have to be traditional orange or dark red brick. Use it as an accent wall, backsplash, or even flooring to give any style of décor the friendly comfort of a favorite pair of jeans.
There’s just one problem, however. Real brick is a chore to care for. When left exposed on an interior wall, brick needs to be sealed or painted, especially when it’s in a high-moisture environment like a bathroom. It’s prone to stains, mold, mildew, and other damage. The grout may need to be re-pointed occasionally. And once it’s been painted, you’ll never see that natural brick surface again.
The Brickstone collection from MSI solves those problems with an easy-care, easy-install, affordable alternative to real brick. It combines all the benefits of durable porcelain tile with the character and texture of authentic brick. Unlike real brick, it’s water-resistant and easy to keep clean.
Consider these four popular colors of Brickstone tile, and some ideas for giving your home that rich warmth you crave.
