Whether you have a designer or not you can produce a formal theme in your basement by making some alterations such as stencilling and Putting together your wall art and pillows to insert some formality to the room. Some of the items you may want to change include floors, lights, decorative items and wall coverings together with your sofa and chair. Accessories are important to pulling your formal look together. You can dramatically alter the appearance of your room merely by replacing the accessories! Focus on buying wall art, pillows and knick knacks, in in colors that compliment your formal design. You'll be amazed at how easy and inexpensive it is, and what an incredible difference these changes make! Make sure to add in lots of antiques along with figurines and you could even try some tea caddies, clocks and nick nacks to really spruce up your basement. Adding more touches such as alabaster or bronze statues can help setup your room with a professional designer look. Lighting is key in any room and the basement is no exception. To compliment your formal interior design, you need to pay attention to light fixtures in terms of both style and type. Most basements can benefit from recessed lighting together with table lamps. When you are decorating with a formal look, think about a brass or crystal chandelier with matching table lamps but Remember to stay away from anything that is overly fancy or too rustic looking. A critical change to consider when decorating your basement with a formal style is what you put on the walls. For this theme the colors are important - you should think about adding blues and greens and golds either as wallpaper or paint. Try using a traditional wallpaper on the walls, or you might consider paint with a chair rail or wallpaper border. You don't need to go all out and if you are afraid of too much color, simply paint the walls a neutral color and add the color in your accents. It's not necessary that you coordinate your sofa, chair, and bookcase but the basement should have a variety of traditional upholstered pieces. To really pick up on the formal style, go for pieces with an antique look. The floor covering can really pull the whole look together, but if you can not purchase new flooring in your basement then work with your floors by covering them in area rugs that have a formal style. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, try wall to wall carpet or hardwood floors. How you dress your windows are important to your formal look. To see a terrific design in your basement think about using velvet drapery with sheer curtains or formal valance. There are plenty of window coverings that can enhance this decor, particularly if you match them to other elements in the room, however you want to avoid curtains that are too funky or cutesy. One area that is many times ignored when redecorating your room is the wall space. You can make even the plainest walls look terrific with great wall decor. Try adding antique style oil paintings or watercolors in vintage frames to your basement walls to really bring out the elegance of your formal design. Getting a decorative formal look in your basement can be as easy as just buying new decorative accessories or as involved as replacing everything. Either way, working on the details and coordinating your accessories and furniture will help you accomplish a successful new formal look that you will be proud to say you did all by yourself! |
