Create a Rock Wall Using Paper Illusion

March 3rd, 2009 · 3 Comments ·

Q. “I would love to cover above the sink in a brick pattern. Does PI offer this? or is there a way to use it to make it look that way?”

We get this question from time to time, but I don’t have many examples of it being done. One way you can accomplish this look is by painting a wall whatever “grout” color you would like. In the case below, Laura used black. Then tear or cut the PaperIllusion into brick/stone shapes and apply to the wall with some space between each piece, allowing the grout color to show through.

You can do it haphazardly as demonstrated above, or you can be more precise, laying it out in rows like a true brick wall.

What do you think?

If you’ve tried something like this, please tell us about it!

    A comment on the Create a Rock Wall Using Paper Illusion: WOW..AWESOME!! I would NEVER have thought of that!! I LOVE this stuff! I redid my bathroom counter top in fresco and the walls in green script and everyone is amazed at how elegant it looks! And they all think the countertop is marble

    I love it! The look is very different,. I think I may have to find a wall space to do this on. What color or name is this in PI?
