Concrete Basement Wall Ideas

Brighten with Color

Produce a focal point wall in the basement by painting it a bold, warm color. This deep orange wall puts off an earthy palette of gold, pea green, and pale brown. Prints of accent the orange with a healthy dose.

Form and Design the Space

Define a basement area with curved walls and intriguing artwork. The wall here began with a framework of studs. It's coated with shaped veneer panels overlaid with molding and raised wood blocks to create the wainscoting. Over the seat rail, a hand-painted mural depicts a whimsical scene of puppies playing billiards.

Tile the Walls for Easy Care

Finished basement walls normally entails attaching wood furring strips or 2x4 studs to masonry walls, then adding insulation and covering with shingles. Tile is applied within the drywall as for any bathroom or toilet installation.

Create Brick Interest

Boost your home's energy efficiency by insulating walls before applying the finishing therapy. Rigid foam panels are impervious to moisture and offer value.

Cover the Wall with Pegboard

Centering the television under the little basement window plays down the awkward dimensions and position of the window. Covered with a sheer organza shade it looks like a piece of art.

Perk Up with Plywood

Paint some of the plywood squares with chalkboard paint to make a message center.
