Another beautiful brick wall design is to install decorative shelves in the wall and choose lighting effects that attract the attention to the wall. For instance installing track lighting will direct the beam downward, highlighting the texture of the wall and track lights can also be installed at angles to highlight the shadows within the brick wall. Standing lamps could also be placed against bricked walls. The color of the lamp must complement the brick for instance a fresh green lamp placed against a gray toned brick.

Hanging decorative items is another way to design brick walls. Putting up family photos in identical square shaped frames in the form of a grid on a bricked wall provides a great sight especially when frames are best complemented against the bricked wall’s tone.
