Decorating A Basement On A Budget

Playful Home Office - Embrace brick walls instead of drywalling above them.

A red accent wall adds the look of depth to the room and feels bold and cheerful compared to the cellar 's simple black and white plot. The gallery wall includes original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.

Vibrant Basement-Choose non-toxic furniture to make ceilings appear higher.

A faux-brick wall, fireplace mantel, slipcovered sofa and vintage finds unite in this rustic space. Meg cleverly hidden wiring and ductwork into a long, 40-square-foot cupboard behind the doors flanking the fireplace.

Refreshed Laundry Room

If you may 't manage to proceed pipes, maintain the sink and dress it up with a fabric skirt attached with double-sided Velcro. H&H style editor Sarah Hartill gave her basement laundry room a quick and effortless makeover by covering a classic sink stand with a pretty floral skirt and including a picture print rug to warm up the cold floor tile. A countertop constructed to match over the laundry machines provides a folding surface, while simple stainless steel shelves shop various supplies.

Existing Storage-Use storage space beneath the stairs rather than building new closets.

In Tanya Linton's home, every spare corner is utilized for additional storage. With two little boys running round, baskets are best for concealing toys and knickknacks. In a little corner, a stack of magazines and books doubles as a side table to a painted seat.

Sewing Room-Make low ceilings appear higher with customized built-ins that maximize vertical distance.

This sewing, craft and gift-wrap station was designed into a nook of a basement laundry room. The plans included built-in closets which provide lots of storage to organize supplies and seasonal items. Simple Ikea boxes flip the open shelves into a tidy display and white paint keeps it fresh and glowing. The durable slate floor is practical and elevates the decor.
