Easy Basement Wall Ideas

Define Space with Partition Walls

Because partition walls do not need to support the weight of the home, you can construct them anywhere in the basement to make individual rooms. This wall divides the sitting room from the dining area. Wood planks laid horizontally in a randomly style remember wood floors or exterior siding.

Leave Brick Exposed for an Urban Appearance

If your house's foundation walls are brick instead of the more ordinary poured concrete or concrete block, then leave them exposed for a chic loft look from the basement. This cellar office gets light from windows. For hip design the brick walls are in their natural condition and the wood flooring joists overhead are vulnerable.

Form and Design the Space

Define a cellar room with curved walls and interesting artwork. The curved wall here started with a frame of studs. It's coated with shaped veneer panels overlaid with molding and raised wood cubes to produce the wainscoting. Over the chair rail, a mural depicts a whimsical scene of puppies playing billiards.

A Vibrant, Beautiful, Budget End

A thrifty solution to finishing a basement laundry room is to paint everything white--concrete-block walls in addition to the exposed floor joists and ducts overhead--and then mask the walls with drapes.

Perk Up with Plywood

Paint a number of those plywood squares with chalkboard paint to make a message centre.

Create Architectural Interest

Boost your home's energy efficiency by insulating walls prior to applying the finishing therapy. Foam panels offer value than fiberglass and are impervious to moisture.
