Sleek Basement-Paint walls a dark and striking colour for a cozy effect.

Bathroom Vanity Makeover-Give a big-box store find a high-end look with a coat of paint.
Interior's manager Meg Crossley altered her dingy basement toilet with a cheap washstand that she discovered at Canadian Tire. She painted it the same powdery light blue shade as the panel moulding, which was installed to brighten up the small space by covering the first dark tile. A painted faade for the side of the ugly old tub, at the exact same color of blue, spared Meg the price of installing a new tub. A black framed mirror, flanked with easy black alloy and milk glass sconces, adds contrast to all the blue.
Paint the walls and ceiling white to generate a little basement seem larger.

Playful Home Office - Embrace brick walls rather than drywalling above them.
A red accent wall adds the appearance of depth to the room and feels bold and cheerful in contrast to the basement's simple black and white scheme. The gallery wall includes original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.
Craft Area-Plan for multiuse corners to maximize performance in a little basement.
This laundry room doubles as a storage space, craft area and wrap centre. Cabinetry built along the wall opposite the appliances holds lightbulbs, batteries, additional garbage bags and other household supplies. A pegboard equipped with dangling containers and tiny rods keeps craft and wrap materials arranged while an adjoining corkboard displays inspirational photos for artwork and reno projects. Open shelves were placed high on the walls to add storage space without creating the little room feel closed in; baskets and bins are used here in order to keep modest items corralled.
