Top Basement Ideas On A Budget

Modern Laundry Room

Consider bench pinning as a cheaper alternative to digging out a basement. The laundry area of this renovated basement was designed to be bright and clean with lots of storage. Straightforward drawers and cabinets keep everything from linens to sports gear organized and out of sight. A farmhouse sink and industrial design sink and artwork lined across the countertop create the decoration more worthy of a main-floor space than a basement for chores. Accessories like matching canisters and a dark tray finish off the look.

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 cellar 's simple black and white scheme. The gallery wall includes original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.

Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper a wall instead of 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 optimize light. A table and chandelier lamps make it possible for guests to select their preferred lighting.

High-Low Laundry Room-Dress up fundamental basement closets with classic drawer pulls.

Designer Theresa Casey renovated her 600-square-foot cellar to add an office, guest bedroom plus luxe laundry area. She saved on cheap white cabinetry but added vintage handles, a marble counter tops, a pub wall along with a classic ladder to make the functional space seem special.

Present Storage-Use storage space under the stairs rather than building brand new cabinets.

In Tanya Linton's home, every spare corner is utilized for additional storage. With two small boys running around, baskets are ideal for hiding toys and knickknacks. In a little corner, a heap of books and magazines doubles as a side table into a painted seat.
