Renovating basements into usable space has become more common than ever. They can have any function from man-cave, to children’s play room, to an adult get-away. There are a couple of ways you can decorate to ensure that your basement space can accommodate all of these functions without looking like a mash-up! First, make sure that the furniture you choose is simple, yet extremely durable. The last thing that you want in a bonus room is to be looking at grape-juice stains from your little ones while you are trying to relax or entertain! Another key to making your basement a multi-functional space is to have adequate storage for toys and other playthings. I like storage ottomans for this purpose because they are both functional as well as beautiful and efficient.
If you wish to create more definition between the space designated for your children and the space designated for adults, you may want to think about adding in sliding doors, or a partition. This is great if you’d rather just close off the mess left behind by kids!
