Sorry. My question was cut-off. Looking for ideas for breezeway walls. Two are brick. The other two have windows and doors. I would love to use barnwood but would it be too busy looking??
being de?
????????????????????? A little more specific would be nice!!!
What?
Could you please retype your question. I don't understand what you are asking. Thanks!
I don't think the hardwood would be too busy. Are you covering the brick too ? Could you make it into a mud room style room. Bench along the wall Hooks for coats, shelf with legs for hats etc. It's kinda hard to tell by pixs. Me i know if would be some kind of plant home lol.
I’m keeping the brick walls. Not sure what to do with other two walls now. They are dry walled and painted. Was looking for other ideas. Possibly large stained planks. Don’t want walls too busy looking.
Hi Nancy, I think the hardwood would look nice, you, could even do the faux weathered wood panels. It's all a matter of personal taste.

From looking at your picture, the brick is quite brick color and typically the barnwood is more grayish, you might be able to carry this off if you opted to gray-up the brick. Meaning whitewash technique to (diluted paint, not necessarily white paint) the brick.
Make enough whitewash paint for the whole area so you do not guess at the dilution you used.
Here is a helpful You Tube:

You can control how heavy or light you want the whitewash. Maybe practice on a few random bricks if you have some, and do this in your breezeway so you'll see how it will with that lighting.
