When looking to remodel your basement, it might be tempting to opt for traditional designs that have a wide appeal. After all, this tends to be the wiser choice as far as your return on investment, as you will be able to potentially sell your house easier and for more money due to large demand. However, this may not always be the right move if your inclinations are towards more eclectic decoration. After all, you want to enjoy the space you're renovating - so maybe this time, you should privilege your aesthetics and do things your way!
To inspire you on your basement renovation quest, we've selected some stellar designs that are out of the box. Check them out and treat your inner rebel to contemplating what it might be like to design out of the box.
Bold
Designing your basement to be outside of the norm can be as simple as establishing a bold color palette. The burnt orange and ecru colors make this basement astound the eyes and excite the imagination.
Small Statements
Innovative design need not always be so extravagant - sometimes, it is in the simplicity of a pattern, or the details in the room that give a reason to smile.
The Power of One
Maybe it's just one detail that makes you rethink the rest of the room, such as the carpet in this basement that brings everything in the room together in one jazzy design.
Singular Feature
Perhaps you could build your basement around a singular, distinctive feature, such as this hanging modernist fireplace. The effect that an imaginative feature can have on the rest of the decor is evident in the above design.
Blast from the Past
Innovation can also be resurrecting past inclinations into a contemporary design. This Art Deco-inspired home theater is a big lesson in how to blend two period's artistic inclinations.
Painting
No matter the size of the basement, you can establish a distinctive decor with the right touch, such as the painting in the above basement. Without it, the decor is lacking; with it, it comes alive.
Sometimes you want to do what's best for your ROI - other times, it can be rewarding to design outside of the box. We wish you luck in designing a basement home decor that suits you and your family.
