We know how brick can give off a classic and earthy vibe. For many centuries, bricks have been one of the best material choices as they are very durable and eco-friendly, and have been a staple in the world of masonry.

Because bricks are so eye-catching, in the present time it is being used to accentuate and make a statement in some parts of the house, however, if you own an older home or already bought one that has generously used brick as its material for almost all of its exterior, you might be looking for ways to spice your building’s look.

3 Tips on How to Brighten a Brick House

Structures that use an all-brick material can look dark, dreary, and boring. If you want to update your brick house and give it an entirely different modern feel, there are a lot of things you can do to change its monotonous look.

Depending on your budget and the time you can commit, you can change the shade of your brick or invest in some attractive pieces that will make your brick house pop while looking clean and bright.

You can flaunt your brick home and make it look even better by following some of the tips below:

Tip Number One: Make Your Brick House Look Appealing by Applying Fresh Paint

It may be intimidating to come to the decision of painting your home as it can be one of the reasons why it has character and your agent may have advised you to not paint it to let it be as it was for many years.

However, if you are tired of the same old look of your brick home, it can be the sole reason to paint it a new shade.

After all, this is your home and you should be the one to decide how it will look and what vibe it will give off. There is no sense in preserving your brick but not being happy about it.

One thing you need to remember is that once you paint your brick, you will need to continue to paint it for the rest of the years to come, and it can never be restored to its original color.

This is why it is important to not make the decision of painting your brick on one night. You should think it through for months or even years to decide on a color palette that you are sure will fit your theme. Also, painting bricks that are on the exterior can be very expensive.

If you need to make sure that you are doing the right choice, you can ask your experienced contractor for their opinions and suggestions.

Tip Number Two: Make Your Brick House Look Fresh by Accessorizing Your Entrance

If you want to brighten your same old classic brick house but want to retain its traditional color, there are still a lot of options you can do to make your home look more attractive. Brightening your exteriors can be more than just changing your paint.

You can make your home look fresh by having a bright entrance which can be easily achieved by painting your door a vibrant color.

Doors are not just there merely for your convenience. You can make your entryway have more pizzazz by upgrading your door. You can also change its handles and hinges in a way that will make it more eye-catching.

Painted doors are very effective when used with bricks because of the amazing contrast between the two patterns.

Another way of brightening your brick home without spending too much money is by painting your windows a clean and bright color.

Shades of white that are crisp in the eyes will always complement the appearance of a brick home, and you can also spend a couple of bucks on new curtains that have a bright and cheery presence.

If you have an extra amount of money to splurge but still do not want to cover the classic look of your brick home, you can opt to repair your porch or build it if you do not have one yet.

Though it is expensive, you can always call an expert contractor to do the work for a better price point that will fit your budget.

Not only can having a cozy porch contribute to the fresh look of your brick building but will also add to the value of your home.

Tip Number Three: Make Your Brick House Look Healthy by Performing Repairs

You may not be ready to admit it yet, but having cracks and chipping in your brick house is one of the main reasons why it looks old, boring, and dark.

A damaged structure will not only be annoying and disturbing to look at, but it will also be a safety concern for the people living in it.

If your brick home has cracks and falling pieces, there is a possibility that it will fall, especially if your building is very old.

Brighten your home while also making it safe by having the necessary repairs performed by your trusted and reliable masonry contractor.

There are two main ways of fixing your damaged and spalling bricks, and this is by doing repointing and tuckpointing.

In both of these processes, your experienced mason will remove your old mortar usually by chipping them away and replacing them by pouring a fresh batch.
