Ideas For Painting Basement Walls

Brighten with Colour

Produce a focal point wall in the cellar by painting it with a bold, warm color. This deep orange wall sets off an earthy shade of pea green golden, and brown. Prints with a wholesome dose.

Form and Style the Space

A Unique Wainscot Steps Up

Old yardsticks connected to the wall involving 1x4 dividers produce a dense and interesting texture on a cellar wall. Try this onto a space divider that is short or a point wall--the number will determine how wide each section between the dividers should be.

Define Space with Partition Walls

Since partition partitions do not have to support the weight of the home, you can build them anywhere in the cellar to make individual chambers. This semi wall divides the sitting room from the dining room. Wood planks laid in a randomly staggered style remember exterior siding or wood floors.

Perk Up with Plywood
