Small Basement Decorating Ideas
Basement Decorating Ideas
Basements are not often the rooms we think about decorating. Considering that they aren’t the most frequented. The thing is, you can make the basement a family hub, a man cave, or an entertainment area. A space where you can spend your time relaxing! Read on for basement decorating ideas, the pros and cons of each, and tips.
Home Theater
With a little bit of work, you can transform your basement into a perfect home theatre or music room. The acoustic lining that you will need to put on the walls and ceiling is perhaps the biggest thing about this basement decorating idea.
This assures excellent sound quality in a closed room. Since most of the basements are already pretty dark, they are great for home theatres.
However, you will need to make sure that you have a good dehumidifier to protect all your electronic equipment.
Game Room
Turning your basement into a game room is another great basement decorating idea. More and more homeowners are taking dartboards, mini alcohol bars, pool tables and transforming their basements into game rooms.
If you do this right, you will be able to host parties in your basement. Your neighbours won’t complain about the noise. Penguin Basements in Brampton can help you do this quite inexpensively with good lighting and colourful paint.
Home Gym
You can turn your basement into your new favourite workout area pretty easily. If you have a concrete floor, it works well to give the equipment a solid footing. You won’t have to worry about marking up the walls or floors.
Another idea is to put down some rubber mats if you don’t like the hard floor.
Finding a good ventilation system for your basement is the only thing that you will need to worry about. You will want to keep fresh air circulating in it continuously.
Workshop
Just like transforming a basement into a home gym, turning your basement into a workshop requires little modification. Rather than the classic garage set workbench, you can transfer your power tools and benches to the basement.
The basement is perfect if you make small things in your workshop. However, you will need a larger basement door if you build large cabinets. Mississauga Penguin Basements can help you determine what you need to turn your basement into a perfect workshop.
No matter your family lifestyle or budget, there is sure to be a basement decorating idea that is perfect for you.
