Most homeowners with a basement will know how difficult they are to decorate. More often than not they are dark spaces with little light and oddly shaped layouts. Fortunately, there are many ways to successfully decorate a basement and with the right use of colour, light and focus on detail it is possible to transform your space into a beautiful additional room.
If you follow the general rule that light colours are best for a basement you will not really go wrong. Bright fabrics, floors and furnishings all lift a dark room. If you do prefer stronger shades, it is possible to use darker colours in a basement as long as they are used in conjunction with a layered and effective lighting plan.
It is important to avoid the use of darker colours on the ceiling as they become visuallty heavy and cast a shadow over the entire space. Instead, consider using a lighter version of the colour you have on the walls or a complimentary off-white. This makes the ceiling appear higher than it is which is ideal for a basement, as you want to draw attention upwards and create as much height as possible.
