Let's bring your
dream space to life.
- Create an industrial style living room. Consider keeping the ceiling exposed! You can save money and time on a renovation by keeping the ceiling open. If your basement has a lower ceiling, you can create the illusion of high ceilings by keeping the joists open and painting them a bold color like black to create depth.
- Ditch the drywall. Paint, rather than drywall, is often the quickest and least expensive way to freshen up a basement. You could also consider only drywalling part of the room where you want to mount a TV or add storage but leave the rest of the room semi-unfinished.
- Use white: Most basements have little to no natural light. Painting the ceiling a crisp white can add the illusion of height and sunlight in a basement.
- Establish a focal point. You can make your basement just as cozy as your main living room by furnishing around a focal point like a bar or a shelving area with a mounted TV. Large rugs and lighting can add life to this underused space.
