WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A SMALL BASEMENT?

There are so many uses for a little basement! Turning your basement into a second living area or guest bedroom with a tiny bathroom is the easiest method to increase the value of your property. However, if you are looking for a spot to add a home office, a gym, or perhaps a home theater, the basement is the ideal location.

We cannot overlook the fact that basements are also fantastic storage areas. Ensure that if you do use your space for storage, it does not become a dumping ground. Ensure that everything is accessible and organized within boxes, bags, etc. Maintain a location that you do not dread entering!

1. CREATE A DEN-RELATED SPACE

If your little basement lacks windows, which is extremely frequent, your best option is to accept the darkness and the smaller dimensions. Create a comfy, let’s be honest, grown-up den in your home.

This place built by Interior Fox may be gloomy, narrow, and have low ceilings, yet you would never know it. All we see is a beautiful, inviting environment that would be ideal for viewing a movie on the weekend with a couple of gin and tonics.

Given the same thought as other rooms, the basement can become as elegant and practical as the living space on the main floor. Consider the amount of available natural light before deciding how much artificial illumination is required. Spotlights are always a good starting point because they are low-profile and, when connected with a dimmer, offer complete control depending on the time of day or activity. Layered wall lights, floor lamps, and table lamps can help set the mood as well.

To increase the sensation of space in smaller rooms with low ceilings, try to keep the furniture low to the ground and unobtrusive. This will make the space appear larger and prevent it from feeling claustrophobic.

2. ADD A SECOND LIVING ROOM

Adding a second living area to your basement is an excellent use of space, particularly if you have children. A basement living room is more welcoming than one in the main house, especially during the winter months.

Again, if you have low ceilings, choose low-slung furniture and a simple neutral color scheme to keep the space looking bright and spacious. 

Southern Belt recommends installing pot lights in the basement during a renovation, but don’t feel the need to paint every wall in the space black. Keep a few walls white or light gray, and experiment with dark accent walls. An occasional accent wall and the use of dark leathers and black throw cushions, for example, will be enough to maintain a manly and melancholy atmosphere.

3. TRANSFORM A MODEST BASEMENT INTO A GUEST BEDROOM

A tiny basement is an ideal opportunity to add a bedroom to your house. Lighting often transforms a basement from a glorified storage area to a nice bedroom where you would not be afraid to sleep. Whether it is natural or

 manufactured, you must ensure that it is abundant.

If you have basement windows, they’re probably on the ceiling, which doesn’t let in much light. Keep the space around the windows clean and choose light, floating window treatments, such as blackout roller blinds and a voile curtain.

Ensure that you have ample artificial illumination, including ceiling lights, wall lights, and some nice soft lamps.

4. EXPERIMENT WITH DARKER COLORS

If you enjoy dark and dramatic rooms, go with the flow.

It is a common fallacy that darker colors make a room appear smaller. This may work wonderfully in small areas and help a room feel warm and coordinated. Different wall colors are a terrific way to define a room, so don’t be afraid to use them. It’s a good idea to use a variety of tones to create visual interest and to reflect the clients’ styles and personalities.

5. ESTABLISH A HOME GYM

Gym closed? Create your own in your modest basement. Imagine you can blast your music for as long as you like or even install a television so you can catch up on shows. One episode of Married at First Sight Australia is equivalent to a good hour of exercise.

Depending on how sophisticated you want your home gym, you can create one cheaply in your basement. When creating a high-traffic area, you could use rubber flooring, speakers, and air conditioning. If you only want to escape the kids and the dog for a quick workout, paint the walls, throw down some mats, and arrange your equipment.

Install a pegboard on the walls to hang weights and resistance bands and to make the gym feel more… like a gym.

6. ADD A CINEMA ROOM

It must be everyone’s desire to have a home theater. And what better location for a home theater than the basement?

If you want to create a more immediate setting, spend the weekend cleaning up your basement and possibly painting the walls white. Then add some old sofas, a large area rug, and a projector to enhance your movie night experience.

7. CREATE THE PERFECT GAME ROOM

Where else in the house can a pool table be justified besides the basement? Even if you’re not a fan of pools, they offer a focus point to a social space, and we’re confident that your visitors will like it! Add some vintage arcade games, a foosball table, and of course a mini-fridge to create a fantastic entertainment environment.

8. TRANSFORM A MODEST BASEMENT INTO A HOME OFFICE

With more individuals working from home, a productive space is essential. It’s also good to be able to ‘leave’ your job outside your home to create a work-life balance.

Just ensure that your location receives sufficient natural light or has ample artificial light sources. Place your desk under a window if you are fortunate enough to have one, and then decorate your workplace to reflect your taste.

9. USE AS A STORAGE PLACE.

Occasionally, it is best to accept that a small cellar is best utilized as a fantastic storage room. They’re easier to access than an attic, and you can organize your belongings so you know where everything is.
