While your unfinished basement may be dimly lit and a bit rough to look at right now, it still has a lot of potential for the future. In just a few hours, you can spice up your space by incorporating a little love along with the help of these ideas so that you can take full advantage of it in no time.
- Add a pop of color. With a bit of color, you can give your basement a new look without having to do a major renovation or remodeling. It may be a good idea to paint and seal the floors, paint the rafters white or a light color to open up the room or create a bold accent wall to add some character.
- Divide the space. Are you thinking of making your basement a multipurpose room? Installing an inexpensive curtain system will provide you with an easy way of separating the area. A curtain track can be used for this purpose or a simple wire and some hooks will suffice if you wish to hang curtains without using a curtain track.
- Add foam mats. It is a great idea to add some foam mats into the mix, wherever you might be planning to put a home gym to get some quick workouts in, or a play area for the kids to play and roughhouse, in the basement. This is an easy and great solution that can be added quickly and easily. There are several different colors to choose from, and they can easily be picked up and tucked away in the event that they are needed.
- Use a large rug. Alternatively, if you want to use a large, eye-catching rug instead of the mat, then you can use it as a focal point and furnish the area around it according to the rug's size.
- Add lighting. There are often very few built-in lights and outlets in basements, and there is a lack of built-in lighting all over the room. You can add a nice ambiance and glow to any space by stringing café lighting from the rafters across the space in a way that does not require any complicated electrical work in order to achieve this.
