Your basement is often viewed as the foundation of your home and one of the least-occupied spaces. These areas are often referred to as one of the dingiest places in your home. After all, many homeowners use their basements for storage purposes. However, some people use the basement as a social area. Here are several tips for sprucing your room into an exciting living space.
Consider these tips when painting your basement.
Use Minimal Colors In Your Basement
Using too many color schemes in a room can make it feel disjointed. Experts recommend that when painting your basement, you should follow the 60-30-10 rule. Sixty percent of the room should be the predominant color. The other 30 percent should be the secondary color, and the final 10 percent for accents.
Finish Strong With A High Gloss
Anytime you paint a basement, you should always consider a glossy look. Experts recommend a glossy finish because they fit areas that are problematic with moisture and mildew.
Use Lightly Colored Paint In Your Basement
Painting a basement isn’t as simple as it sounds. It would help if you were strategic when planning your area. Areas with vast natural lighting should be painted with lighter colors. By doing so, you’ll be able to bring life to any dark basement.
Use Concrete Paint For Concrete Walls
If your basement has concrete walls, as most do, experts recommend using concrete paint. Concrete paint is available at standard hardware and paint stores. With the right mix, you can transform your basement into a secondary living space in your home.
