Make the Most of Your Basement
Space by Refinishing it

Invest in Basement Wall Paneling
 It’s standard practice to frame basement walls with pressure treated wood,
but even high quality wooden studs can rot out over time and lead to issues
with mould and mildew. There are special basement wall panels that serve as
decoration while adding a vapour barrier to the concrete walls of your
basement. These specialty walls are known for their durability and can be
purchased in different colors and styles to suit your needs.

Consider a Drop Ceiling
 Drop ceilings are one of the best ways to finish the ceiling of your basement
to give it a nice quality appearance. These ceilings are simple to install, and
they offer a clean look while still providing access to all the ducts and pipes
within the basement. You’ll still be able to maintain your home effectively wit
the ceiling in place, but your basement will look much more upscale than it
does originally.

Add Lighting and Décor
 The final steps of finishing your basement space include adding new lighting
and finishing accents. Add furniture to decorate your new space and
consider working in light fixtures that give your space a modern look that
blends with the style that you’ve chosen for your finished basement.
