I would paint it the wall color. I’m not sure about the window. It looks like it opens, but to what? You could close it up and you wouldn’t have to worry about matching the brick as your painting. Add more lighting to brighten it up.

Thanks for your opinion Sarah, it is much appreciated! the window is a window well, but I have considered closing it too :)

If you want to put it on Air bnb definitely paint it the brick. The current color of the brick makes the space feel smaller and it appears a bit outdated as is.

If you plan to AirB&B it, make sure you egress that meets code.

Good point, I will look into that!
