Internal false brick wall - How?
Discussion
I am keen on making one of my kitchen walls look like brick - I was Ikea today and thought it looked nice.
I have found Slimbrick - http://www.slimbrick.co.uk/
Can these be applied straight to a plasterboard wall? I guess not as it probably weighs a fair bit.
I want a subtler finish than this:

Any ideas?

Yes and even more for the slate - £60 1/3m squared. Probably cheaper to get a bricklayer to actually build a wall in front of what you want in used bricks ! You'll only lose 75mm in comparison to slips , and you can get the bricklayer to leave out sections to form shelves , flat plaster sections to hang pictures and mount your flat screen TVs flush with the finished wall with all wiring hidden instead of hanging off the wall .
used brick slips on our fire, did it myself and it was pretty straight forward. doing the mortar was a right pain though! no experience of tiling before. Was going to convert our cellar and use them again.
