my room has a brick wall, i want to repaint my walls(and cabinets) but i dont know what colors will match w/ a brick wall.

Answer 1

I love your room!

The tablecloth next to your bed would be a great place to start. I would paint the 2 "blank" walls with a color pulled from your table cloth, the wall opposite wall from the brick a darker shade than the wall opposite from the cabinets.

I would keep the wall of storage at white and black. The shelves at the right of the doors could be covered/concealed with curtains/tapestry panels.

I would place your bed on the wall opposite of the brick wall. Declutter the entire area around your bed of everything! Your headboard has storage for whatever you need.

You have a lot of mix and match dressers for storage. Unless your absolutely attached to them, I would trade them in for a large wall storage unit, with your television, and bookshelves and room to display your photos and personal items. Something as simple planks and cinder blocks will work. Your desk would fit well in the corner.

Place at the wall opposite of the cabinets, and place a large framed poster over the table to make up for your lack of a window on that wall.

I think your room has a ton of potential! I would love to see a finished product.

Answer 2

1] Pick your favorite color, use a light, bright shade of it for the walls [ peach, butter yellow, sage green,etc.
2] use your second favorite or a brighter shade of the first for trim [ rust, lemon, grass green, etc. ]
3] use a neutral color [ white, ivory, lt. gray, beige ] for the cabinets; or the same color scheme as the rest of the room. Ask if you can get rid of the bronze?/brown accents - it really dates the room
4] buy some drapes/bedspread that match or coordinate - you could also use some colors from a print to pick your color scheme.
5] consider refinishing your furniture in one of these colors, or a wood that complements the brick and the other colors
6] don't forget a big,soft rug in one or more of 'your' colors

Answer 3

your room looks big and has alot of potential, maybe try some paint and rearanging. Maybe a nice big area rug to match your new paint color. Use your favorite color...it only has to make you happy.
