Moving into the basement…? I need help!?

Friday, August 27th, 2010 at 12:48 am

Okay, well today me and my mom decided I can move into the basement! Yay! So, I wanted to start planning. I don’t have a clue what to do. It”s really dark down in the basement. Theres barley any windows just two in the laundry room. So, I wanted something really bright. But, not white because that’s boring. So, I have no Idea. I have some furniture but there white. So could you think of something that would match white desk and dresser? I would have to add a bar somewhere for a closet or something. I have a few drawers but I need a little room for a few dresses. I want a new bed comforter any way. And I can re paint it pretty much any way I want. I just need colors and themes for my new room. I can get like lamps and such too. But, nothing too expensive. Please help!

Well, in my opinion as a dude, since you have white furniture only and you don’t have much light entering your basement, you should repaint the walls a very cool and light color, such as lavender, light pink ( not hot pink), maybe baby blue. Something like that. But to be honest, I don’t think there should be any specific themes. For lighting, just put some simple fluroscent lights on top. If you want, refurbish the floor. Maybe add some wall to wall carpeting or put a nice finish of smooth wood, maybe tiles. I would go with the tiles. If you’re going to go with the tiles, make it white. Hope this helped!

Painting the wall in a light aqua color will lighten things up and give a open look. With white furniture you could go with a beach resort type theme. Shells, fishing nets (decor type) hung on walls are great for displaying pictures and other small keepsakes, simple lamps with white or aqua shades, and aqua bedding with white throw pillows. A really cheap way to "make" a small closet is to buy a moving box from a movers place.They have ones that are cardboard with a bar in it. You can paint or wall paper the box to dress it up. The other thing would be to buy a free standing wardrobe closet from a garage sale or thrift store and paint it if needed.
Good Luck!

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
