Top Basement Designs On A Budget

Playful Home Office - Embrace brick walls instead of drywalling above them.

A red accent wall adds the look of depth to this room and feels bold and cheerful compared to the basement's easy black and white scheme, go to https://capablegroupinc.ca/. The gallery wall features original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.

Sleek Basement-Paint walls a dark and dramatic colour for a cosy effect.

Stylist Arren Williams' cellar was made to be both functional and beautiful. A modern sectional sofa in a charcoal cloth can sit lots of individuals while two cane ottomans can be used as side tables or extra chairs. To make the perfect setting for film night, Williams chose a thick, full-height velvet curtain to block out any unwanted light.

Bright Laundry Room-Pinch pennies with MDF cupboards and add your own trim.

H&H senior editor Meg Crossley turned this unfinished basement laundry room into a laundry room oasis. Improper venting meant the washer and dryer had to be transferred into the opposite wall, where they're now concealed by latching doors. Meg also included a convenient sink with a kitchen-worthy faucet, an upper shelf and lower cabinets for additional storage. A builder cut door fronts from MDF, and then Meg additional Shaker trim for a custom look. To provide the cellar an airy feeling, the area was painted white. Sico's Light Sugar (4150-11), an aged white, makes the ceilings seem higher without feeling sterile or cold. The cupboards were painted robin's egg blue to get a country-inspired look.

Hidden Guest Bed

Incorporate a guest mattress into your existing design instead of putting up new walls to get a separate bedroom. This Murphy bed employs a suspension system which makes it feasible to lift with one finger. On each side of the queen-size bed, a market in the wall functions as a side table and can be wired using a reading light. After the bed is folded upward, homeowners Barbara and Michael Purdy utilize the freed-up space for a workout area.

Repurpose old furniture instead of buying new.

Designer and homeowner Barbara Purdy transformed a wood-burning fireplace to gasoline to create a cosy focal point within this room. I couldn't find myself hauling logs down the stairs, she states. Radiant heating installed beneath the wood-look porcelain-tile floor adds even more heat. The sofa, a hand-me-down from her parents, was recovered and layered with cushions.

High-Low Laundry Room-Dress up fundamental basement cabinets with vintage drawer pulls.
