Ideas for a Repainted Basement

A repainted basement is very similar to a fresh painter's canvas. As such, you have the liberty to do anything with it. Instead of using a basement for more storage space, consider upgrading the basement into livable quarters. These include, but are not limited to, a play room, a guest bedroom and a bar space. Although significant improvements needs to be made on the space, the end result will be worth the hard work and the money spent.

  Construct a craft room. You will need to move all of your tools to the basement. For example, if you are interested in woodworking, bring all of your supplies downstairs. Also, if the basement is large enough, you can construct more than one craft area.

  Transform the basement into another bedroom. Purchase all the necessary furniture like the bed, a bed frame, drawers, a closet, a desk and a bookshelf. Carpet the floors so that it can be easily cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
