Hello Sir, I do not understand- what do you mean by "changing the wall Designs." For coloring/wall papers/textured painting it is better to have finished wall. For wall cladding/tiling it is OK to have a non finished wall as well as they require a rough surface. For changing the tiles, its quite a messy, and wasteful expense. Rather, you can give the tiles of your choice to builder to install on the first go itself. Some builders don't allow such requests but others would happily do so. Some others may even offer a discount for not using their tiles. Same thing with paint as well you can give your colors to them to paint if you are not happy with white. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Anita Vitrified tiles by themselves do not particularly allow the walls to breathe, and hence are prone to cracking. That being said they do not collect moss either. If you are however set on using these tiles, I suggest you use them in a mosaic fashion, where smaller tiles or broken pieces are used. This will allow the wall to breathe, though the moss collection might be more due to the greater amount of grating.

Wouldn't ceramic tiles wood finish, laid in planks of 6" x 24" solve the problem? Not my go-to choice though. Another option would be to use texture paint (with larger granules) in a deep chocolate colour

Hi, The exterior of my home is brick cladded (real, clay brick). The living room walls are also brick cladded (3 sides of the wall). What types of paints/finishes can be applied to accentuate the brick wall feeling? I just want to elevate the naturalness of the brick, to give a fresh look, but at the same time do not want the walls to look too red or artificial. Leaving the walls as they are is not an option, as they look unkempt and uneven in color. Appreciate detailed suggestions (including the paint brands, color codes etc). Thanks,
