Is it inside or out?

I painted this faux brick floor when I pulled up the carpet and realized I wouldn't be able to stain the concete. I used 3 slightly different colored paints, an extra large sponge, and acrylic paint to add the extra colors to make the brick more authentic. I sealed with concrete sealer. The grout lines are the original concrete slab.

You don't need specialty applicators and artistic ability to paint a faux-brick wall. You can use a common household sponge to create the fake bricks.

Here is an inspiration for a DIY faux brick. Hope you will like it!
