I just rented an apartment where one entire wall is hideous exposed brick. I’m over the shiny faux-fabness of it all but now I can’t decide what color would be a good fit for the other 3 walls. I don’t want to paint the brick cause I pride myself on getting my deposit back. The room has a nice mirrored fireplace mantel with columns on it which is already white there’s also original moulding around the windows which is white so the space has good bones. My first thought was to choose something pastel-ish since the brick swallows the light but i’m unsure. I also considered that sage color thats recurring in Restoration Hardware’s color palate. I should note two things – the apt is a studio so I’ve only got one room to make a good decision paint wise. Also, I ALWAYS choose the wrong color paint it looks good on the fan deck then horrible on the walls. please help!
