Best Basement Decorating Ideas On A Budget In 2019

Bright Laundry Room-Pinch pennies with MDF cupboards and add your trim.

H&H senior editor Meg Crossley turned this unfinished basement laundry area to a laundry room oasis. Improper venting supposed the washer and dryer needed to be transferred into the opposite wall, in which they're now concealed by latching doors. Meg also included a convenient sink using a kitchen-worthy faucet, an upper shelf and lower closets for additional storage. A contractor cut door fronts out of MDF, and then Meg additional Shaker trim for a custom look. To provide the cellar an airy atmosphere, the space was painted white. Sico's Light Sugar (4150-11), an aged white, makes the ceilings seem higher without feeling cold or sterile. The cabinets were painted robin's egg blue for a country-inspired look.

Toilet Vanity Makeover-Give a big-box store find a luxury appearance with a coating of paint.

Interior's director Meg Crossley transformed her dingy basement toilet with an inexpensive washstand that she discovered at Canadian Tire. She painted it the exact same powdery light blue shade as the panel moulding, which was set up to liven up the small space by covering the first dark tile. A painted faade for the facet of the ugly old tub, in the exact same shade of blue, spared Meg the price of installing a new bathtub.

A red accent wall adds the look of depth to this room and feels bold and cheerful in contrast to the cellar 's simple black and white scheme. The gallery wall features original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.

Modern Laundry Room

Consider bench pinning as a cheaper alternative to digging 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 arranged and out of sight. A farmhouse sink and industrial style faucet and art lined across the countertop create the decoration more worthy of a main-floor room than a basement for chores. Accessories like matching canisters and a dark tray finish off the look.

Refreshed Laundry Room

If you may 't manage to move pipes, keep the sink as-is and dress it up with a fabric skirt attached with double-sided Velcro. H&H style editor Sarah Hartill gave her basement laundry room a quick and easy makeover by covering an old sink rack with a fairly floral skirt and including a graphic print rug to warm up the cold floor tile. A countertop constructed to match over the laundry machines provides a folding coating, while easy stainless steel shelves store various materials.
