Ideas For Finishing Concrete Basement Walls

Brighten with Color

Painting adjacent walls bright white tames the orange and reflects light, eliminating any threat of cellar gloom.

A Specific Wainscot Steps Up

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

Maximize with Molding and Paint

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

Focus Attention with Colour

Create a focal point wall in the basement with bright colour. In a subterranean area with no natural light, choose colours, such as hot orangeyellow, or yellow-green.

Mask Block Wall with Paint

Paint is an effortless way to earn the basement feel warmer, brighter, and more welcoming. Be sure to test paint colors you might find you are able to use brighter colours than you would upstairs Due to low light levels.

Start with the Basics

A simple facelift for a cellar office begins with painting concrete-block walls bright white. Use a specialty masonry waterproofing paint to seal the walls, if your cellar walls have never been painted.
