Install A Wall of Curtains or Drapery Panels
Setup Your Workspace
Basement walls can be cold and drab. Adding a wall of curtains or drapery panels not only helps to soften a space, providing visual warmth.
Use a Paint Color with an Appropriate LRV
Setup Your Workspace
Be sure to choose a paint color with an appropriate LRV, or light reflective value… which is the percentage of light a paint color reflects.
Plan Adequate Storage
Setup Your Workspace
Storage space is especially helpful if you have a small bedroom, like mine. This could come in the form of a dresser, closet, or a storage ottoman.
Disguise Basement Architectural Features
Setup Your Workspace
Due to building codes and the nature of basements… you often have to design around architectural eyesores like an egress window, ductwork, or low beams.
Incorporate Layered Lighting
Setup Your Workspace
In addition to overhead lighting, be sure to add a wall sconce or two, along with floor and table lamps for a well rounded and cozy lighting plan.
I hope these budget-friendly basement bedroom ideas come in handy at some point! Cheers to a wonderful weekend ahead!
