If we hadn t spotted that staining i might have been tempted to paint the brick teal because teal or maybe white to match the walls.
Dark grey painted brick fireplace.
Painting your brick fireplace a shade of beige or greige a cross between grey and beige is a great option to keep the contrast between the fireplace and wall while not having dark colors that can close up the space.
A lighter color keeps things open and bright.
To make the room cozier pair the gray painted walls with modern and colourful furniture.
Though this fireplace is actually limestone painted gray brick towers above creating a cohesive look.
The rich gray hues offset the room s stark white walls and soaring windows.
One of the many perks of a dark grey fireplace is that the color hides dust and ash which showed on the natural concrete of our old fireplace.
Unfortunately almost all houses have ugly fireplaces unless you built yourself.
A dark dark fireplace grey hides soot and ash.
White paint gives this brick fireplace a charming timeworn look.
I ve seen a lot of beautiful painted fireplace especially white ones but i decided on a more unusual dark grey because ours was smoke stained and i thought grey would easily hide any future soot while adding a dramatic focal point to our all white living area.
Clean architectural lines make for a modern backdrop.
I ve now painted several brick fireplaces with paint washes and you can see more of that on my instagram account.
