Add Glamour To Your Unfinished Basement

Winter is a good time to add glamour to your unfinished basement.

While the basement typically isn't the main focus of your home, finishing the basement is a value-add improvement especially in the winter when we find ourselves inside more. 

While it may not be the main focus, it is a focus point of your home for a variety of other reasons. A home gym/studio, game room/playroom, extra space for gatherings or whatever suits your personal space goals are.

Many unfinished basements lack the warmth and sweetness of home, adding a few small touches will help add glamour to any basement.

De-Clutter, Clutter is the story behind most unfinished basements. No matter how clean your basement is, no matter how much light you let in, your basement will appear dark and messy if it is drowning in clutter. Organize your space.

Clean, sweep the floors, dust down the walls, then give your space a good once over with a strong cleaning solution. I like to use water and bleach. 

Add a fresh coat of paint to the walls and floor.

Always use a dehumidifier, many basements will face problems with moisture and flooding at one point or another.

Let in light or add extra bright light. Basements tend to be unpleasantly dark. Rake out basement window wells and wash down windows.

Place a mat or rug on the floor, add your own personal touch, maybe a TV, yoga mat, some work out equipment…

It is just that simple, now enjoy the glamour in your unfinished basement.
