This option is a great way not only to create extra space, but also allows you to pamper yourself with a quiet and fairly cozy holiday at home. All that is necessary for this is a proper layout and a little creative thought.

Most homeowners do not dare to remodel their basement, because they are afraid of enclosed space and the basement for them is a rather inconvenient option for sleeping, there you can only store tools, pickles and vegetables for the winter season. But for those who want to add extra space and place their bedroom or guest room there - the basement room is simply priceless.

Here are some tips to help you properly equip and arrange a wonderful room in the basement of your suburban, and not only, home.

Getting rid of the damp and cold

Deep cellars have always been used to store vegetables during winter colds and home conservation in the summer, since in the hottest weather it's always cool here. Therefore, by remodeling a basement room in a cozy bedroom, you should make a high-quality insulation and cover the walls with a tree, because the wood is an excellent insulator and perfectly preserves the heat in winter cold.

Additional insulation will make your room quite cozy and will not let in extra noise, except that if between wooden panels and concrete walls to fill up the fragrant shavings of pine or spruce, this will create additional comfort in your future nest.

Choose your bedroom style

When equipping the basement is not worth all plastering, and the heating pipes to remove under the panels - you can leave a part of the brick partition in its original form to fill the room with a peculiar color.

If you plan a bedroom for children, you can make it in a rustic style with a bunk bed and accessories that are specific to the village hut, somewhere in the remote province. Children like everything unusual and original.

If you decide to arrange your bedroom away from external and domestic noise, then give it the kind that will help you to comfortably relax in its silence from daily worries and bustle.

Add a visual space

In some buildings there are quite capacious cellars in the basement with narrow windows at the foundation level - in such rooms it is possible to equip not only a cozy bedroom or guest room, but also a bathroom, and a small guest area with soft furniture and a small fireplace.

You can make and two small bedrooms, creating a visual space with the built-in wall mirrors. Perception of space is a very funny thing, you can also make a spacious room so that you can walk only sideways, squeezing between a huge sofa and armchairs, or you can even equip a tiny room so that it looks spacious and elegant.

There are quite a lot of various tricks that can be applied in the basement. Vertical stripes built into the mirror walls not only make the room visually higher and more spacious, but also help to spread light evenly throughout the room.

Warm and cozy colors

Painting in the basement, where the cozy bedroom is located, is the care of those who will rest here - it will help them feel relaxed and protected, as if they were sleeping elsewhere at home above.

Try to leave the background of the entire room as neutral as possible, add decorative walls in warm colors from wood to ward off any boredom. Keep the palette of the number simple and try not to use more than two prevailing colors.

Many cellars do not have sufficient illumination by natural light, so it makes sense to paint the room in golden-yellow tones or a soft cream, for a cozy and warm appeal.

Ceilings and floors

Now it's time to talk about the ceiling and the floors in your new bedroom. To make a ceiling with plasterboard, with built-in diffuser lights, is the most optimal option in this case. This will give the room an identity, it does not create a sharp difference from other rooms in your home. The sconeware scale and the entire decor in general, as close to the whole style and theme as on other levels of the whole house, so that there is no sharp contrast.

In the new bedroom for floors suitable laminate, special tiles or carpet, which are the ideal choice for a basement or basement. Stylish carpets will help in expanding the space and adding the necessary color and pattern, and the built-in fireplace will add comfort and a kind of charm.

We make a ladder to drool

The staircase leading to the basement may seem to some to be secondary, but judge for yourself - you descend down a simple wooden staircase and find yourself in fabulous apartments, a difficult transition for an unsophisticated viewer. Therefore, the staircase must match the room located in the basement.

A magnificent spiral staircase with wooden steps and an acrylic, transparent fence will significantly save space and add the necessary sophistication to the bedroom located in the basement. The main condition - it should be not only stylish and original, but also sufficiently high-quality and safe to operate.

Light will drive away the darkness

All the leading designers in the world constantly remind us that in the equipment of any room, quality lighting plays a very important role. This rule is doubly true when equipping a cozy bedroom in a basement.

In the cellars of houses, as a rule, only artificial lighting is used, and in our case it should be of the highest quality. If you decide to arrange a cozy nest, then you do not need a lot of focused lighting, as in the case of a guest area or a games room. It is enough to add a pair of bedside sconces or floor lamps, or you can put LED lighting on the ceiling above the bed, which will save you space.

We plan an emergency exit

In the basement, if it is converted into a dwelling, according to safety standards it is necessary to equip the emergency exit, for the safety of the whole family. The basement serves as a refuge during a fire or natural disasters, such as the Tornado, and if there are windows that an adult can climb through, not just a child, there is no longer any need for a spare exit.

If there are no windows in the basement, you should make an emergency exit with an exit at some distance from the main building so that your guests or you, yourself, feel absolutely safe for all cases in life.

You can not prohibit a beautiful life

Your approach to planning a new premise can be qualitatively different from those of the premises that are at the top. With the coincidence of the basic decor, pillowcases, blankets and upholstery of armchairs can be much richer than in the rooms at the top, to create the necessary comfort and coziness.

Create a small oasis for you, loved ones, on weekends and holidays you will find here a calm and comfortable hideaway, especially when there is a fairly large family in the house, and you want privacy and silence.

All the means and your efforts will pay off in the future when you create a cozy bedroom, far from the noise of the city and home, where no one will disturb you to relax or read your favorite book, when the life of a large family is stormy.
