Basement Paint Colors That Brighten The Space

In the continuing quest for more living space, homeowners frequently forget about the basement. But this ignored space can be very versatile. With some easy upgrades, such as creating basement remodeling designs and choosing basement paint colors, your basement could become your kid's playroom, a man cave, a guest bedroom, or more. 

Picking the right basement color is super easy if you know the complexities of basement space. To get it right, make sure to sample any colors you're thinking of using. It would be best if you took the time to change your lighting when the color is on the walls.

Best Basement Paint Colors:

Sky Blue
This pleasing, pale hue of blue boosts the spirits and relax the mind. Blue is perfect for creating a friendly living space. You can offset the blue with soft neutrals. Decorate the room with soft neutrals or perk up your basement with accessories in bold colors.

Red
A burst of flaming red isn't your typical basement color. But, painting the basement walls in this energetic shade will add energy into this unexciting space. Red is an excellent choice for basements, making this room a fun-loving space. If red is a bit much, you can use this scarlet hue as an accent color. 

Purple
Since purple connotates creativity, it's the perfect color for a basement office. The specific shade you pick could change the aura of the room. Lilac is soothing while deep purple showcases sophistication. 

Gray
The fame of gray paint has gone ground in the home, where this understated shade brings sophistication to any den, mancave, or workspace. Match gray walls with neutral furniture for a stylish look. Or, welcome modernism by including bold colors like purple, orange, red, lime green, or blue. 

Navy Blue
Using dark hues in a basement can be challenging since you don't want the room to feel suffocating. If you're longing for bold, go for navy blue, enriching the room without looking confining. Then, add some brightness with light-colored neutral accents.

Green
You'll discover many shades of green paint, from pine to lime, at the home store. Every tone works well in a basement, as either the wall color or trim. 

Darker hues bring coziness relaxation while lighter shades deliver fun energy. Paint the basement lime green for a playroom or olive for a guest room.
