Best Basement Ideas For Man Cave

Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper a wall instead of four.

From the 2009 Princess Margaret Showhome, the reduced level was completed with fashion. A focal wall was coated in a textured wallpaper while others were painted a creamy white to optimize light. A table and chandelier lamps make it possible for guests to select their favorite lighting.

Hidden Guest Bed

Incorporate a guest mattress into your current layout instead of putting up new partitions to get another bedroom. This Murphy bed uses a suspension system which makes it feasible to lift one finger. On each side of the queen-size bed, a market in the wall functions as a side table and can be wired with a reading light. After the bed is folded upward, homeowners Barbara and Michael Purdy utilize the freed-up area for a workout area.

Existing Storage-Use storage area under the stairs instead of building new closets.

In Tanya Linton's house, every spare nook is used for additional storage. With two small boys running round, baskets are best for concealing toys and knickknacks. In a small corner, a stack of magazines and books doubles as a side table to a painted chair.

High-Low Laundry Room-Dress up basic basement closets with vintage drawer pulls.

Designer Theresa Casey renovated her 600-square-foot basement to include an office, guest bedroom and luxe laundry area. She stored on cheap white cabinetry but added vintage grips, a marble counter tops, a gallery wall along with a vintage ladder to generate the utilitarian space seem unique.

Work with existing plumbing.

Putting this shower beside the plumbing shaft made room for a freestanding sink in the small bathroom. New pipes was added from the laundry room, and the HVAC ducts were increased to the ceiling joists to allow for as much headroom as possible.
