Wall Paneling Ideas For Basement

Maximize with Molding and Paint

Arts and Crafts-style wainscoting is easy to produce with plywood, crown molding, and 1x3 boards.

Cover the Wall with Pegboard

Panels of white-painted pegboard add amazing feel into the wall of this retro-style basement. With the help of hanging hardware created for pegboards, you can decorate the wall with baskets, photos as well as for magazines and DVDs.

Begin with the Basics

An easy facelift for a cellar office starts with painting concrete-block walls bright white. If your cellar walls have not been painted, then use a specialty masonry waterproofing paint to seal the walls.

Shape and Style the Space

Define a cellar room with curved walls and interesting artwork. The curved wall here started with a framework of studs. It's coated with shaped veneer panels combined with molding and increased wood cubes to create the wainscoting. Over the chair rail, a hand-painted mural depicts a scene of puppies playing billiards, interesting Finishing Basements.

Create a Message Board

Staple batting and fabric to the wall prior to installing the baseboard and crown molding. Stretch broad ribbon onto the diagonal from floor to ceiling to make diamonds. In a furniture tack, hammer at each intersection of diagonals to make a look.

Tile the Walls for Easy Care

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

Lines and Color Add Punch

A picture-frame motif repeats in the board insets on the walls and carpet squares onto the floor within this basement living room. The geometry is emphasized with a bold colour scheme. The artificial wall panels are created from picture-frame molding.

Paint a Lively Grid on Basement Walls

Paint the entire wall whitened, then utilize broad painter's tape to tape off the grid. Roll on paint in the colors needed. After the paint dries, remove the painter's tape to reveal the outlines.

Brighten with Color

Create a focal point wall in the basement by painting it with a bold, warm color. This deep orange wall sets off an earthy shade of pale brown, pea green, and golden. Prints with a healthy dose.
