Basement decorating may be a challenging task as the space for the room is usually limited, unfinished or dark. These ideas will give you plenty of room, however, to modify the space into your very own personal space. From a bar, to a pool table, the space will surely serve as your second living room.
As reported by Fresh Home, a basement is usually that space inside your house that is small, dark, and unfinished. However, with a creative mind and a lead on what you think is missing inside your home can turn this space into a personalized area of convenience.
Before deciding on the theme of the room, you must first determine what you think is lacking within your home. Are you yearning for a pool table where you and your friends could spend some leisure time? Do you have a band that would need a rehearsal studio wherein you can enjoy unlimited jam sessions just beneath your home? Or do you want to host parties and make a uniquely designed area different from that of your living room?
Next is to determine what type of layout would best suit the space by determining a floor plan. In doing this, you would need to add a bathroom if you wish to turn it into an underground bar. For those who want to transform it into a studio, it would be more appropriate to find a way to make the space sound proof and where to place the electric outlets for the instruments, or rather just place more storage furniture or a rack if you want to transform it into a wine cellar. Either way, determining what you want out of the room is the best guide for you to transform in creatively.
Next it to ensure that your floor plan exudes of an open concept. As reported by Huffington Post, since the basement has limited space, you would need to incorporate your ideas for the room into a space-efficient area. For example, you wish to make it into a wine cellar. Adding more racks to place then and cabinets rather than dividers that consume more space would make it more spacious despite its limited area.
From instilling a pool, creating a den, a playhouse for your children, an extended living room, a band studio or a wine cellar, these basement decorating ideas will surely make your home more interesting and fill up the missing aspects from the upstairs of your home.
