Easy Basement Wall Ideas

Mask Block Wall with Paint

Paint is an easy approach to make the basement feel warmer, brighter, and much more welcoming. Make sure you test paint colors in the cellar: Due to low light levels, you may find you are able to use brighter colours than you'd upstairs.

Cover the Wall with Pegboard

Centering the tv under the small basement window performs down the awkward dimensions and position of the window. Covered with a sheer organza shade it looks like a piece of artwork.

Achieve a Modern Log Cabin Look

Walls coated in hot pine tongue-and-groove siding, and a stone and wood fireplace provide this cellar a rustic log-cabin feel.

A Unique Wainscot Measures Up

Old yardsticks connected to the wall involving 1x4 dividers create a dense and intriguing texture on a basement wall. Try this onto a space divider or a focal point wall--the number will determine how wide each segment between the dividers should be.

Perk Up with Plywood

Paint some of the plywood squares with chalkboard paint to make a message center.

Create Architectural Interest

Boost your home's energy efficiency by insulating walls before applying the finishing treatment. Foam panels offer value and are resistant to moisture.
