Dark, damp, and uninviting, basements are notoriously unwelcoming spaces. But they don’t have to stay that way. Basement painting can bring color, light, and energy to your basement, transforming it from a drab space to a beautiful one.
Walls or Floors?
Unlike the other areas of your home, where you have finished floors, if you find yourself with an unfinished concrete floor, basement painting can extend to your flooring. Choosing a light shade of paint can bring light and a finished look to the room. However, if you do want to paint your basement floor, you should get professional help.
Basement painting of any type can be tricky because of the greater dampness in the space. Basement floors should be painted with an epoxy coating, which is extremely durable, but presents safety challenges during the application process. For that reason, you should always consult with a professional before beginning any basement painting, and leave the floor to Greenbriar Remodeling & Painting LLC.
Colors
Once you’ve addressed the special challenges of basement painting, it’s time to choose your colors. Just like any other room in your home, you should feel free to let your creativity run wild, but keep in mind since basements are limited in natural light, lighter shades like whites, grays, and pastels are often preferred. However, strong colors like bright red can bring energy and warmth to this often cooler area of the home, or you could choose to embrace the limited light with a cool and edgy dark blue. Your imagination is the only limit, so embrace your inner artist, choose your colors, and give us a call to start on your basement painting project today.
