Before and After: Drab-to-Dapper Basement Makeover - Part 4

Off the Walls

After cutting costs by painting the ceiling and floors themselves, the homeowners treated their walls to drywall. The walls added a finished look to the living room area of the basement. A television, plush sofa, and chairs turned this area into the family hangout.

The labor and materials expense to frame the walls were more than expected, but it gave them the finished look they desired. Also, it allowed them to put in insulation, which helps save money by decreasing their utility bill.

 Enhance With Extras

Spruce up the space by adding color, pattern, and soft accents such as pillows and artwork. Enhance color and light with lamps and fabric-covered pendant lights. Decorative touches turn a basement from a dreary cave to a guest-ready room.

 Hang Out to Dry

Basements are notorious for developing moisture problems, especially during warm, humid weather. Invest in a dehumidifier to keep moisture levels in check. Make sure your flooring and ceiling choices are able to withstand the environment of the basement.
