Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper a wall rather than four.
From the 2009 Princess Margaret Showhome, the lower level was completed with fashion. A focal wall was covered in a textured wallpaper while others were painted a creamy white to maximize lighting. A chandelier and table lamps allow guests to choose their preferred lighting.
Existing Storage-Use storage area under the stairs instead of building new closets.
In Tanya Linton's home, every spare corner is utilized for extra storage. With two little boys running around, baskets are best for hiding toys and knickknacks. In a little corner, a heap of magazines and books doubles as a side table to a painted seat.
Playful Home Office - Embrace brick walls instead of drywalling over them.
A red accent wall adds the appearance of depth to the room and feels daring and cheerful in contrast to the basement's simple black and white plot. The gallery wall features original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.
Modern Laundry Room
Consider seat pinning as a cheaper alternative to digging a basement. The laundry area of this renovated basement was created to be bright and clean with lots of storage. Straightforward cabinets and drawers maintain everything from linens to sports equipment arranged and out of sight. A farmhouse sink and industrial design sink and artwork lined along the countertop make the decor more worthy of a main-floor room than a cellar for chores. Accessories like fitting canisters and a dark tray finish off the look.
Vibrant Basement-Choose low-profile furniture to make ceilings seem higher.
A faux-brick wall, fireplace mantel, slipcovered sofa and vintage finds unite in this rustic area. Meg cleverly concealed wiring and ductwork into one long, 40-square-foot cupboard behind the doors flanking the new fireplace.
Repurpose old furniture instead of buying new.
Designer and homeowner Barbara Purdy converted a wood-burning fireplace to gasoline to make a cosy focus within this room. I couldn't find myself hauling logs down the stairs, she says. Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile flooring adds even more heat. The couch, a hand-me-down from her parents, was recovered and layered with cushions.
