hello,
I am finishing a basement, and I am at the stage where I need to choose texture and colors... however, I am completly chalenged in these areas (read worthless)...
the basement is around 350 ft², in a weired shape, with only 2 window, so it does not get a lot of light. In addition, they are 3 different floor levels (from 8ft to 7ft depending) with heating piupes and beams overhead. there is a bathroom in the top right corner and a "block" in the middle (where there is the base of the cheminy, hot watter heater, 1 closet and a "shrine"). there is one area with has red brick walls and one with 1/2 wall height in wood.
(here is a rough idea of what it looks like)
XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX______XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX______XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX______XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
you can also have a look at the video that I took at:
basically, I am looking at ideas of what to do next, especially:
- colors that I can use
- what type of texture to put on the walls (among other things to hide the bad drywalling job I did)
- what to do with the heating pipes (paint them? same color than the walls? texture them....)
thanks, Cyrille
