Tips for Furnishing a Basement

Use mirrors

Mirrors can create the illusion of more space, especially when hung on walls. Don’t overdo it, as too many can become overwhelming.

Create storage space

Select storage units that run from floor to ceiling. Choose items that have extra storage space, such as hidden compartments and drawers.

Choose light colors

A way to brighten up your basement is by using lightly colored furniture. Go for neutral, white, or pale tones.

Avoid clutter

You want to be practical with the space you have in your basement. Don’t be tempted to buy unnecessary furniture.

Create a guest room

Use furniture such as beds and closets to turn your basement into a guest room or additional bedroom.
