This is the question of the decade. You have a red brick house, and you are wondering if you should try to paint it, like all the HGTV trends, and Pinterest pictures: from red to white or grey...

Well, listen to have a clear view of the decision, to paint or not to paint, with the pros and cons of this unsettling question.

Painting brick can seem as sacrilegious to some people as painting stained wood.  About ten years ago, interior design trends turned a corner.  Many homeowners got tired of all the earth tones and the heaviness of the “Tuscan” phase.  People with stained wood in their homes (especially cabinets) now wanted that wood painted white.  

There are some “no painted brick” purists out there, but enough brick homes have been transformed by painting them that there’s very little “spousal resistance” anymore.   Given a choice to keep a home red-brown or change it to white or cream or greige, many, if not most people will choose to update.

But should you paint your brick house only because of design considerations?  Are there any other reasons either to paint brick or not to paint it?
