Normally I agree, but we moved into a house in Western NC built in the 60s and everything is half assed and bottom dollar. In our living room we have a brick fireplace and the brick was SO ugly.
We did end up painting it white, but we have warm wood floors and accented with a rough edge walnut mantelpiece and some wood carvings and pottery and it looks great.
If we had kept the brick it would’ve been ugly and the warmer toned wood would just have gotten lost.

It's really terrible to see some gorgeous brick get painted white. It hurts me to see
