There are times when you are in the process of redecorating your home that you wish that you had the resources to do everything you want. Adding decorative style effects like rustic bricks, stone borders and flagstone sections are nigh impossible to pull off on a limited budget, not to mention the expense of bringing in the desired stone, and the tremendous amount of time that it would take to install it all. Thanks to a whole new generation of wallpaper designs, like brick effect wallpaper, you can simulate the look, without the cost.

Perfect for the designer man cave project

This popular decorating project just calls for a lot of manly touches, like the appearance of brickwork or stone framing a fireplace, or bordering the main wall of the area. Just picture it. A crackling fire, real or otherwise, in an art deco style fireplace, with a background effect done in wallpaper that simulates the rough brick of an exposed wall behind it. Very turn of the century look, especially when used as the central focus of the room.

Another way to pull it together is to use designer wallpaper that simulates the appearance ...
... of stone walls. There is no hard and fast rule in decorating that says that you have to cover the entire wall, now does it? If your designated man cave room has windows, you can place the stone simulating wallpaper from the floor up to a height that runs just under the window framing, giving it a very nice rustic look to the entire wall. And, if you combine it with another popular design in designer wallpaper today, that of simulated wood paneling, you can easily create a man cave that has the look of a rustic hunting cabin in no time.

Perfect for simulating open spaces

In smaller rooms, you simply do not want to use wallpaper effects like damask wallpaper. While pretty, and intriguing in design, in smaller rooms it can have a nearly claustrophobic effect, with the eye catching patterns dominating everything else in the room. For smaller rooms, you want either a tiny pattern on light wallpaper to give the illusion of a greater space, or you want to emphasize the longest wall in the area with a distinct patterned wallpaper to make the room appear larger because of it.
If you have a smaller room that gets a pretty fair share of the natural lighting available from windows, you may want to consider using one of the designer wallpapers available today that emulates a painted scene, instead of a repeating pattern, like that found on damask wallpaper. Choose one or several favorites, and cut it down to just the desired images, with a border. By using the simulated stone, you can create another window where one does not exist. Frame a single panel of artwork with light brick or stone, or multiple panels, like it was being viewed through a stone portal, and the overall effect can be quite striking.
