Create a Message Board

In a basement hobby area or office, turn one wall in an oversize message board. This treatment functions in for basements where humidity and moisture aren’t an issue. And this therapy helps echoing and reduce noise.

Leave Brick Exposed for an Urban Appearance

If your home’s foundation walls are brick rather than the more ordinary poured concrete or concrete block, leave them exposed for a posh loft look in the cellar. This cellar office gets light out of windows that are above-grade. In their normal state the brick walls are for fashionable design and the timber flooring joists overhead are vulnerable.

Form and Design the Space

Define a basement area with curved walls and intriguing artwork. The wall here started with a frame of studs. It’s covered with shaped veneer panels raised wood blocks to produce the wainscoting and combined with molding. Above the seat rail, a hand-painted mural depicts a scene of dogs playing with billiards, best Finished Basements Toronto.

Achieve a Modern Log Cabin Appearance

In front of a treatment similar to this may be installed over masonry basement walls, so you need to be certain the walls are dry and pliable. You will need to build a wall in the front of the masonry wall to ensure a surface that is horizontal, plumb if your cellar walls are either bowed or out of plumb. In this case, the wall is attached to the slab along with the overhead joists.

A Vibrant, Beautiful, Budget End

A thrifty way to completing a basement laundry room is to paint everything white–concrete-block walls in addition to the exposed floor joists and ducts overhead–and then conceal the walls with curtains.

A Specific Wainscot Measures Up

Old yardsticks attached to the wall between 1×4 dividers create a dense and interesting texture on a basement wall. Try this on some space divider or a focal point wall–the range of yardsticks you may collect will determine how wide each section between the dividers should be.

Maximize with Molding and Paint

Arts and Crafts-style wainscoting is easy to create with plywood, crown molding, and 1×3 boards.

Focus Attention with Color

Create a focal point wall in the basement with glowing colour. In a subterranean area with no natural light, choose warm colors, such as golden yellow hot orange, or yellow-green.
