Your basement is a spot reserved for extra space to make into a room and I can't think of a better way to enjoy it then to accessorize it with a timeworn and comfortable vintage theme.
No matter how much money you have, you can go for a vintage décor theme in your basement by altering simple aspects of the room like painting and coordinating your wall art and pillows to incorporate some vintage flair to the room. Some of the accessories in the room you could change include floor coverings, fixtures, decorative accessories and wall color along with your sofa and chair.
The floor covering can really pull the whole look together, but if new floors aren't in the budget for your basement then you can cover your current floors by incorporating small rugs with a vintage design. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, try wood or oriental rugs.
Lighting is key in any room and the basement is no exception. To match your vintage décor style, you will want to keep in mind the style of light fixtures in conjunction with the type. When you will be incorporating a vintage look, think about vintage fixtures with wall sconces that reflect the era but Remember to stay away from anything that is anything with bad wiring (or have it rewired).

How you dress your windows are important to your vintage décor look. There are numerous treatments that you can match up to this style, especially if you coordinate them with other elements in the room, but you should avoid anything from a timeframe later than the one you are targetting. To put together a magnificent look in your basement consider working with sheers or drapes depending on the particular era or blinds.

A critical thing to keep in mind when decorating your basement with a vintage décor decor is what you put on the walls. For this theme the the colors can make or break the look - consider using old fashioned colores and plain and simple either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a faux paint with an antique look on the walls, or apply vintage reproduction wallpaper. You don't have to get too fancy or spend a lot of money and if you don't want color on the walls, merely paint the walls a neutral palette and let the accents in the room do the decorating.
