What Colors Go With Brick?

Question

Our new family room has a red brick wall with a fireplace, hardwood floors and sliding doors that allow a lot of sun. What color paint should we go with? We want to buy a sectional sofa. What color should we get?

Answer 1

knaki brown im not sure if that is the correct spelling for knacki.

Answer 2

We're into the remodelling thing too. I just had all our fitted carpeting ripped out and we have laid huge Italian Flagstone tiles in a marbelled brick color alternating like a checkerboard with the same tile only in a marbelled grey/yellowy-beige. In the living room we have used Burgundy carpeting and leatherwork furnishing with contrasting yellowy-beige cushions. Burgundy and Brick colors together? You'd be surprised. The curtains we are putting up are in a very pretty pale sage green and have area rugs with tan, beige and mid-green themes. I was trying to get the feel of the rustic Italian setting, and standing in that big room with the morning sun streaming in through the windows, I swear I can almost hear the theme music from "Goodfellas" playing in the background LOL The dark lush green of the Rubber, and other house plants makes wonderful finishing accents.

Answer 3

Golden yellow would really emphasize the sun and give it a California feel to it. You can go with a light cream sofa, or light banana or light beige. Warm colors. That would really bring out the beauty of your room. :-)

Answer 4

Well, beige (taupe), ivory, different shades of brown, peach or terra-cotta. Maybe even certain shades of blue. Go to a paint store and look at the little cards they have. Sounds like your room is very nice.

Answer 5

Any color will go with the brick -- it's one of them universal things. Pick your favorite color and go with it. Your the one that has to live with it.

Answer 6

a goldenrod or nice orangey-red would go nicely.
