Personally, I like them natural. My daughter bought a red brick home in a neighborhood of red brick homes and wanted her house to stand out. She had professional painters come in and paint the bricks white and added black shutters. It definitely stands out and is beginning to grow on me.
However, I wonder about the upkeep in the Wilmington, N.C. salt air. I'm afraid it won't look so good as it begins to chip and flake off exposing the red brick underneath.

Nope, not a fan of painted brick. We had a house with a brick FP painted white - hated it, but never changed it before we sold

I have no opinion on this one way or another. Personally, I don't particularly care for brick inside a home. As a siding material... ok. Not for decor.

Not a fan of painted brick. Once painted, you'll never go back to original brick. If its a fireplace and ugly brick, I would paint it or even tile over it.

It's usually best to not paint brick. But if painted, the proper paint should be used. If fireplace profile inside is painted, the type of paint used isn't as critical. Brick, when done correctly, is maintenance free. Painting exterior brick with wrong paint can lead to numerous problems.

Guess it depends on the overall effect as several others have said. If it is in good condition and fits well with surrounding leave it natural.

Depending on the technique used. I have seen mostly painted brick which in my opinion has completely ruined the look.

Agreed but sometimes it's so ugly something has to be done. On Pinterest I have a board that is devoted to fireplace remodels. Instead of painting it, update it.
I think of the 'loft' kinds of things & can't imagine paying extra if it's painted.

Painted brick can be beautiful. My parents had a bonded brick home and had it Ken a texed. A livetime warranty. It was beautiful. That was many years ago.

Tammy,
It really is a matter of taste. If the brick is in bad shape, it looks better painted. I love the older bricks, the thicker ones they used to make, so much more character. A

I just closed a house on Friday where the homeowners have every intention of painting the brick. It is up to them.

In the right setting and with the right surroundings, love it! With the wrong setting/surroundings, not so much.

"love em, hate em, or just don't care"
All of the above depending on the setting. :0)

It depends. On the brick. On the fireplace. Execution matters. So does personal preference.

This is one of those case by case questions? Mostly I prefer exposed brick!

Good morning Tammy. I hardly ever paint brick unless they are such a mess, them I'll do it.

Tammy Lankford - painted Bricks!
Now Bricks are identified by the characteristics - the main one being color. So when we paint it over the original color...

By house has these sort of mustard color bricks and could use some paint.

Hate painted bricks, especially when the paint starts to peel and chip.
3,988,144
I think it can improve the looks of the house especially if the brick color is ugly or dated but all I can think about is the extra maintenance and cost to keep it looking good.
2,820,193
If it's purple, then yes. Just kidding.
I'm not a big fan of brick (indoors) as it looks dated and makes space look larger. Often when painted white, it looks better. But, the better solution is to replace/build around it with natural stone.
LOL on the description of beautiful fireplace.

I am note a proponent of brick inside the home. Red Brick or Used Brick is dated and in my opinion only belongs outside the home. I don't like the look so painted properly would be much more desirable to me.
231,279
it has its place , if the brick is installed and going for a diff look. if you are installing they make white brick or many colors
1,546,934
I'm with Roger on this one. If it's brick painted white, like a house a few blocks away from me, it should be a crime. If it is painted a color with warmth, character, etc, then I'm happier with it.
930,535
I think brick has its own beauty, but if done right, could be a pretty mural.

Unless we know what inspired the painting of the brick, casting judgment would not be advised. A chimney blockage, failed flashing or that ugly rust/iron/sulfur looking stone may be easier to resolve with a new surface.
And like we have said SO MANY TIMES, paint is cheap.
I find a brick wall painted white very appealing. But I can not reveal the color of the wall in the Mid-Florida Regional MLS.
Now, a pristine red brick wall is one I am most likely to preserve.
