Some may find painted brick walls to
be too rugged, harsh, or even shoddy. In my book, these coated exposed
brickworks are fantastic! They provide great visual texture and make the room
instantly feel cozy. It's an inexpensive way to upgrade the look of any home. A
painted brick wall is one of the most desired cost-effective interior
improvements, actually.
The process can be quite
challenging, but the outcome is well worth it! This article gives advice on how to properly
paint a room, and I find the rules highly applicable, except
for the part about sanding and scraping to make the walls smooth. In brick
walls, texture is key.
Right on top of my color preference
for painted brickworks are black and white. I also like cool hues such as
Carrie Mathison's {Homeland} Cambridgeblue brick wall, ash gray, and
pistachio.
This looks good with either
contemporary or dated furniture; even better when you mix the two. To temper
the harshness of the wall, you can add draperies, throw pillows, flowers, area
rugs, and lots of framed photos. You can find more tips on how to do this here.
