20 Painted Brick Fireplaces in the Living Room
Hesitant to paint your brick fireplace? After seeing this list, you will make up your mind!
The fireplace becomes a focal point of the home wherever you place it but usually it is seen in the living room and it would have various finishes as well made of different materials. Some would use concrete while still others use wood. But one common material that used for a fireplace from the olden days up to now is the brick stones. These not only look beautiful but it brings a natural look to a home. And once you are tired looking at its natural brick finish, you can always paint it. Yes, brick fireplaces can be painted with whatever colors you want!
I know it sounds amazing that you can actually paint on your own brick fireplace! Because of that, we have collated some images of painted brick fireplaces in the living room. The common colors used for fireplaces are white and gray but I guess nothing is wrong if you try using other colors as well. But what you will see in this list is more of white, gray and beige- which are of course the perfect colors for a fireplace especially if you want a more neutral appeal. Now, scroll down and take a look at what we have for you.
1. Braircrest Remodel
I love the colors and textures used in this living room. What added the beauty of the space is the gray painted brick fireplace! It does look really modern when done on this manner.
2. Nelson House Wolfe & Wolfe Home
You can also use this color for your fireplace. Notice that it is just a little darker than the home’s wall. It is also nice to add black and white furniture in the living room.

Another gray fireplace where a large art work is being installed. By doing this, the living room looked even more beautiful. Although the fireplace used a dark color, the area still appeared bright because of the windows around it.

Pizzigati Designs- Eco Chic Interiors
A perfect contrast of white and gray is seen here. And on the sides of the fireplace are open shelves wherein books are arranged according to their colors. Nice, right?
5. Cool Ranch House
Andrew Howard Interior Design
I love this one! Instead of merely painted the fireplace with one color, the owners decided to turn it into an accent wall with a geometric design on it. I also like it that colorful throw pillows were used in the house and that it has striped curtains in blue and white. And of course, that chair looks really interesting!
6. Amagansett Modern Farmhouse
I know that the antlers chandeliers used here are interesting but what is more attractive is the glaze used for the fireplace which made it appear a bit shimmering.

If you want to retain a bit of the brick’s texture while painting it white, you can white wash it like this one resulting into a stunning craftsman space with a subtle shabby chic appeal.

But of course, if you want it to look a lot neater, then paint it all in white like this living room. What I love in here is the combination of white and wood. Such lovely contrast indeed! Aside from that, the textures look really great too!

Another white wash painted brick fireplace for a contemporary living room. Even if the fireplace is not lighted, this space looks warm and cozy because of the colors and the lighting.

Another black fireplace for a craftsman home. It is a good idea to paint this with black since it added more appeal to the area.

Yes, it is black but it appears more like charcoal to me with a wooden mantel that carries lovely items on it. I actually love the way this space is decorated from the throw pillows and all!

Dark gray is used for this fireplace which also has wooden elements on it. It is obviously a spacious living area which is covered with carpet in the flooring.
