Basement Remodeling Decorating
Basements are commonly plagued by poor lighting. As a result, there is a dim and drowsy ambiance. Today, we’re sharing tips on brightening your basement.
Poor lighting is a common problem that our Nova Basement Finishing team often runs into. We notice that basement remodeling jobs in Ashburn, Oakton, McLean & Leesburg, Virginia, often have poor lighting because those suburbs are usually forested and have little lighting. But the good news is that some minor DIYs can easily fix poor lighting. Below are some tips to brighten dark basements and invite those warm, bright spring sun rays.
Natural Lighting with Reflecting Mirrors in Basement Renovation
Mirrors are a great and affordable way to brighten up your space! They can catch the light and reflect onto dark areas of the home. The bigger your mirror, the bigger the illusion of space it creates. Consider placing your mirror opposite a large window.
Another tip is to place the mirror behind a light source, such as a candle or bedside lamp, to maximize the light’s reach.
Brighten with an Accent Wall
It’s no secret that colors can have a psychological effect on us. Other than white, consider painting your walls a pale blue. It’s a subtle change from white but goes a long way in freshening up your basement. You can’t help but feel relaxed and peaceful when surrounded by light blue. Perhaps it’s because it mimics the sky?
Installing a Chandelier
Adding a crystal chandelier is a practical and elegant way to brighten your basement. It catches light from other sources and reflects off the crystals on your chosen chandelier. Also, it makes an excellent centerpiece for the room!
