Paint the walls and ceiling white to make a small basement seem bigger.

A finished basement feels like a backyard retreat as it's packed with numerous great design ideas. Floating walnut shelves, a gas fireplace with a rolled-steel encircle, along with a textural shag rug are simply a few of the components that elevate the space.

High-Low Laundry Room-Dress up basic basement cabinets with classic drawer pulls.

Designer Theresa Casey renovated her 600-square-foot basement to include an office, guest bedroom and luxe laundry area. She saved on cheap white lacquered cabinetry but additional classic handles, a marble countertop, a pub wall along with a vintage ladder to generate the functional space seem unique.

Hidden Guest Bed

Incorporate a guest bed into your current layout rather than putting up new partitions for a separate bedroom. This Murphy bed uses a suspension system that makes it possible to lift with one finger. On each side of this queen-size bed, a market in the wall acts as a side table and can be wired using a reading light. After the bed is folded upward, homeowners Barbara and Michael Purdy utilize the freed-up space for a work out area.

Dark TV Area-Accessorize with cheap vintage finds.

It appears counter-intuitive to paint your cellar ceiling and walls in such a darkened color, however, stylist Arren Williams kept the space bright with mood lighting. The undermount light at the high-gloss storage components highlights our collections, states Williams. This contemporary design has a masculine feel without crying out bachelor pad.

Sewing Room-Make lower ceilings appear higher with customized built-ins that maximize vertical distance.

This sewing, craft and gift-wrap station was designed to a nook of a basement laundry room. The programs included built-in cabinets which provide a great deal of storage to organize supplies and seasonal items.
