Make a Basement Room Bright

Written by Posted On Friday, 30 October 2015 05:46

If your basement windows are not so big to provide you with the desired amount of light then you need to learn several tricks to create a comfortable space for you and your family! This article was based on the advice provided by several Brampton designers in order to help you brighten up your life!

1. Bright Color

First of all, you should liberally use bright color. Here it comes just right with natural light, the brighter and more saturated color you choose, the better. What basement designers insist on here is that the color does not have to be light. With no doubt, it does not mean that you need to make the basement gaudy or tacky! You can pick a nice bright tone on the walls, flooring, rugs, and even choose it for the large furniture pieces, then add some cheerful pops of color in order to create a fresh and bright atmosphere.

2. Contrasting Darks

Most people think that dark colors are prohibited for use in small spaces, but in fact darker pieces of the room can create great contrast for a basement space. For instance, you can take a large armoire or a couple of side tables as darker elements. According to Brampton specialists such dark “splashes” will actually you’re your lighter areas seem even brighter and will easily provide depth to the entire space. 

3. Open Wide

Here just embrace an open floor plan. Even if your basement room lacks windows, all professional Brampton interior designers would agree that expanded wall spaces will definitely make the space seem much bigger. For example, you can consider taking out a wall or even two in order to create a large living space. This will have not only spacious and bright look, but you are very likely to get extra loving space which you will enjoy with family and friends.

4. De-clutter

Now it is the time to clear out and organize the entire basement space. Undoubtedly, useless clutter inherently makes any spaces feel more crowded, which is exactly the opposite of what you actually want when trying to brighten a basement space. Brampton basement contractors try to clear horizontal surfaces, choose aesthetic and functional storage bins, and so keep all things clean because exactly this will go a long way toward brightening the entire basement space.

5. Drapes

And the final but not least important advise is in using some curtains for the windows. You can choose the most appropriate punch of color and pattern for your curtains that will definitely brighten the basement space alone. Another great benefit of curtains use is that they elongate a lot the vertical space. If you have a basement that lacks natural light you may consider “creating” a fake window one by simply hanging an antique window, or by mounting some curtains on the wall framing.
