How to decorate my brick wall with fireplace?
I have a large livingroom with one entire wall of brick, with a wood burning fireplace. The brick color is varied – 70’s style. I have a large, dark stained mantel over the fireplace, and have placed a tall bookcase on either side of the fireplace, but it just doesn’t pop. There is also a brick ledge (approx. 3 bricks deep) along the base of the entire wall. This is perfect height for low-level seating, but I’d have to move the bookcases. My couch and loveseat are brick red with dark wood trim. My room has a hardboard ceiling, similar to original hardwood flooring. I will be painting my walls a sage color. I really need some guidance on the brick wall. I don’t think whitewashing is the answer in my traditional livingroom. Without the bookcases, the wall is plain and flat, with the exception of the mantel. I’m open to ideas.
