Get me started! Brick wall & all white cabinets etc?

última modificación:hace 7 años

This is our new to us condo that needs updating. It is on a beach so we want tile or concrete floors due to sand but what color? Should we go dark floors with all white everything else with lots of lighting or should we have a beige floor with lighter cabs? We want to keep brick wall as is. I don't want it to be overly modern or industrial looking. Just timeless & coastal if that is possible! I'm struggling!! Help! I had a thread a few months ago but am looking for fresh ideas. We don't want to change the footprint of the place just want to bring it up to date.

    Anything would be an improvement. Coastal almost demands white cabinets and plaster soffits are just not done anymore. Classic coastal would have inset cabinetry but the updated coastal look is clean and somewhat modern since ease of maintenance is usually one of the goals. For the floors I'd recommend porcelain. It come in everything from white to faux wood to rustic stone. The brick is great and I would personally go with white frameless cabinets to the ceiling with plenty of recessed lighting and a wood-look porcelain plank floor.

      I would use porcelain tiles in a light sand color on the floor. You could do a driftwood look tile or keep it more basic solid so it doesn't clash with the brick. The cabinets could be white paint, a natural color wood finish, or the medium wood tone you have now. Paint the walls white, cream, or a white tinted with a touch of blue/green. Use natural colors with texture or deeper blues so the overall effect is of sand, water, and sky. And don't forget about adding some good lighting.

      Choose your colors from the existing brick as this is your palette, unless you change it. Soffits, yes, are dead issues and adding a Nantucket style cabinet door would add so much. There is driftwood colored wood look tile that is fantastic and in a color from your brick would be gorgeous. Lighten up everything you can, add lots of lighting but adding some rustic items would keep it warm while light and interesting. Have fun!

      i would do the lower cabinets in blue, and the upper cabinets in a cream then i would do the beams in a light creamy color too. i would have wood floors that have that white wash look.

      Here is the brick up close. (Low light). Not much white so didn't know if I should have no white.

      I would do cream tiles and off white cabinets so the brick stands out.

      It's great that you are leaving the brick as is. I agree with the porcelain tile suggestions. It's a great product and there are so many options. Just be sure paint and tile colors work with the brick. There are many "whites" that will be good with your brick.

      Do u think these looks with go with the brick wall? I took a few screenshots from my pinterests pins. Do u like a driftwood or travertine like look with the wall? Or am I not on the right track?

      If you're at the beach and are seeking a beach look, wood-look tile is best. Trust me, I've used it and it's stunning! The "white" showing in your pins is better as it's not stark white. Again, and I it can't be said strongly enough, do not use a white that contrasts whatever "white" is in your brick. Some of the posted pictures show brick that is clearly more red or has darker browns. If you use stark white next to an off white, you will not like the result.

      That is a LOT so brick. It looks like there is a jog towards what I assume is the entry door. Could you sheetrock just that area, where there appears to be no natural light?


      And then maybe get some large art to cover some of the brick in the main area?


      I like the brick. There is a just a lot of it.


      I would suggest trying to get into other units to see what people have done. Or look up your address on a real estate website for listing photos of other units. You don't have a "clean slate," so it is hard to visualize what will look good. Can you get the blue carpeting out ASAP?


      Alot depends on your budget. If you are going to spend 200k, then maybe you want to look some interesting cabinets. If you are looking to spend 40k all-in, then you are probably going to want white (ish) cabinets.

      I think this color scheme would look great with the brick accent wall, and the wood-look tile on the floor - and the back of the peninsula.

      If your not looking to do a total renovation I would:
      Paint the cabinets white and maybe buy hardware that evokes living on the coast (anchors, coral, etc) or just keep them simple and classic.
      Above the cabinets, either do new wallpaper or paint.
      The floor in a really light color; the look of travertine.
      That wood part seen of kitchen island, painted white to match cabinets
      Brick wall with a grand coastal decor; a big surf board or oars.
      Furniture light and airy
      Walls with pictures and decor of coastal decor.
      Here are some photos. Hope this helps.

      Sand and water will not be kind to a real hardwood floor, but wood-look
      tile or vinyl are good alternatives. I'd paint every stick of wood with
      the exception of the ceiling beams white. When you paint the walls, use a
      matte paint instead of a gloss.

      the off whites shown are more gray, i tend to like a more yellowish creamy white. someone was talking about putting wallboard up in one area. why not just tack up board with wall paper in those spots, it can look spectacular and not permanent.

      Really like the brick. Accentuate that wall by keeping everything else clean and simple. Don't overdo the beach-themed decor. I think light-colored flooring and walls and a white kitchen, some airy furniture, and the fact that you're near the beach will give it a coastal feel.

      Another option would be to whitewash the bricks - don't misunderstand me, I LOVE the bricks - but you could soften up the color with an application like this:

      Thanks to all of you for your help! It is appreciated. Lots of work to do... Look for future posts about bathrooms!!! The great news is it can only get better!

      Ceramic tile would be your best bet (durable and easy to clean). I think a nice gray hardwood tile floor would look awesome, especially with white kitchen cabinets for the coastal look you are going for. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Good luck!
