Paint option for exposed red brick?
Comments (1)It sounds as if the bricks were never properly sealed. Using a penetrating brick sealer should solve the problem....See Moreoptions for wall above bed
Comments (10)Hi, you can add metal wall decor plain or mirror with metal frames , or floating shelves to keep small picture frames. If the bed headboard is good in design and color you can simply paint backwall in a different color from rest of the walls.

Comments (1)Hi, There are numerous color options for windows or doors. And, it depends on the color of the walls. Basically, If you have dark color walls then light tone colors are used for windows and doors such as white is mostly preferred. While dark brown or dark wooden color is suitable for windows with walls painted with light colors Do talk to professionals like Tasko before going to any conclusion.

Comments (6)The potential yellowness discernible in Simply White is because it is actually a more colourful white from the Yellow Hue Family. That little kick of colour can work well on ceilings, as that plane can often make a colour appear a little darker & more greyed anyway. So sometimes a choice of more neutral greys here have a possibility of ending up a little grey & shadowy. This is obviously dependent on the available light. Chantilly Lace is a more neutral white from the Green Yellow Hue Family. In character in balanced light it can appear ‘just white’, but in some light people see a hint of its inherent greenness, some might even read it as blueness. Again depending upon how well balanced the available light is. Super White OC-152 is that bit more neutral & so could read a touch more crisp again. Many people prefer a more neutral, crisp trim. It can give you more options for alternative wall colours, should you decide to repaint down the line. Neither Simply or your trim choice would be sat next to each other though, as the wall would come between them. I think the biggest concern would be sitting Simply White next to Classic gray for the reasons mentioned before. If you are set upon Classic Gray then I would repaint the ceiling and swap to one of the more neutral options. I would shortlist your line-up and sample upon board or lining paper in your space so you can move them around....See More- PRO

3 years agoThanks Cat-ky. The house is all wood so looking to break it up a bit. By way of example.....based on feedback thus far debating between same color for trim and walls in other bedroom or just leave wood as is....

Door(s) is not trim. Again paint it or stain it, but do all the same. I would paint it in a matte finish to lessen the business of it.
Muntins are munitins…either stain or paint, but do all the same.
I like the dark trim (green?). I’d do all the trim in it.
The door….too late now, but a wish it were hung like this:
