Best Basement Ideas For Man Cave

Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper one wall rather than four.

In the 2009 Princess Margaret Showhome, the lower level was finished with style. A focal wall was coated in a textured wallpaper while others were painted a creamy white to maximize lighting. A table and chandelier lamps allow guests to choose their preferred lighting.

Dark TV Area-Accessorize with cheap vintage finds.

It appears counter intuitive to paint your cellar walls and ceiling in such a darkened hue, but stylist Arren Williams kept the space bright with mood lighting. The undermount lighting in the high-gloss storage units highlights our ranges, states Williams. This contemporary design has a manly feel without crying out bachelor pad, more interesting ideas.

Sewing Room-Make lower ceilings appear higher with customized built-ins that optimize vertical distance.

This sewing, craft and gift-wrap station was designed into a nook of a basement laundry area. The programs included built-in closets which provide a great deal of storage to organize supplies and seasonal products. Simple Ikea boxes flip the spacious shelves into a clean screen and white paint keeps it clean and glowing. The durable slate floor is practical and elevates the decoration.

Hidden Guest Bed

Incorporate a guest bed into your existing design instead of putting up new walls to get another bedroom. This Murphy bed uses a suspension system that makes it feasible to lift one finger. On both sides of the queen-size bed, a market in the wall acts as a side table and can be wired using a reading light. When the bed is folded up, homeowners Barbara and Michael Purdy utilize the freed-up area as a work out area.

Refreshed Laundry Room

If you may 't afford to move pipes, keep the sink as-is and dress it up with a cloth skirt attached with double-sided Velcro. H&H design editor Sarah Hartill gave her basement laundry room a quick and easy makeover by covering a classic sink rack with a fairly floral skirt and adding a picture print rug to warm up the cold floor tile. A countertop built to match over the laundry machines provides a folding coating, while simple stainless steel shelves shop various supplies.
