Red Brick (1111817): Where and How to Use It

An intense orange from Dulux, Red Brick (1111817) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Red Brick

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

What Goes With Red Brick

For a whole-home look, use Red Brick as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Red Brick shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as orange shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
