Basement Wall Paint Ideas

Start with the Basics

Strips of stained timber add architectural interest, and panels of bright cloth add colour.

Cover the Wall with Pegboard

Panels of white-painted pegboard add funky feel into the wall of the retro-style basement. With the help of hanging hardware you can decorate the wall with baskets, photos in addition to for magazines and DVDs.

Focus Attention with Color

Create a focal point wall in the basement with bright colour. In an area with no natural lighting, choose warm colors, such as golden yellow, orange, or yellow-green.

Maximize with Molding and Paint

Here the trimwork and ceiling are painted hot white as well as the drywall is painted bright white. The mix makes this area of the basement feel open and light and makes the most of natural light coming in through the above-grade window.
