Basement room interiors: 25 brilliant options
The wonderful interiors of the room in the basement will be useful to all owners of private houses. Do you need more storage space for rarely used items? Or is one more full-fledged room missing?
First, you need to decide what you need it for. Will it be a comfortable room for nonresident guests, a place to meet friends or an additional nursery? Whatever you decide, repairing the basement will be more costly and difficult than in other parts of the house, as construction work in it often remains unfinished.
Regardless of the size and illumination of the basement, we will help you create a room that you will strive to spend as much time there as possible. Below you will find 25 great ways to make the most of your space.
Draw a detailed plan
When you decide on the purpose of the basement and the budget, you should think carefully about the layout.
If you want to equip a guest room, it would be advisable to add a bathroom, which also requires an appropriate plan.
If the room is quite large, it can be divided into several rooms for different purposes. But even if you have a small basement, it can be made multifunctional by thinking through the options in advance.
Use neutral colors
Rich bold colors attract attention and add expressiveness to the interior. But they also make the room visually smaller.
If you arrange the basement in this way, the ceiling will seem lower, and the walls will squeeze the space. In order to expand it, it is better to rely on light neutral colors, such as gray, beige, white. Choose large-sized furniture in the same color scheme. Accessories, pillows, curtains, rugs and vases will add bright colors and style.
More open space
If the basement is small, try to leave it as open as possible without unnecessary walls and partitions. To create a multifunctional space, use color and decor.
For example, on one side there may be a recreation area for adults marked with a large carpet, with the ability to adjust the brightness of the lighting. And on the other hand, a creative workshop with a wide, sturdy table, shelves, and brighter light.
Maximum light
The windows in the basement are always much smaller than usual, since the room is partially or completely underground. A well-lit room will not only seem larger, but you will not notice a lack of windows in it.
Of course, built-in lighting saves space, but your ceiling may be too narrow, or your budget is limited. Then you need to use the walls and floor — decorate them with hanging candlesticks, table lamps and floor lamps. To reflect light, you can think about how to hang mirrors.
Choose functional cabinets
Despite the high goals, it often happens that the main purpose of the basement is the storage of things.
Prepare for the last option in advance: plan the lockers from ceiling to floor to maximize the use of space. Buy furniture with a lifting top, in which you can put things. You can take some part of the basement under the warehouse, separating it from the rest of the space with a wall painted in the same color as the main room.
