What Can I Do With a Finished Basement?
A finished basement provides ample opportunities for creativity and function beyond just extra square footage. Whether you’ve completed a renovation recently or you’re looking to make better use of your space, your basement can become one of the most exciting rooms in your home. The key is matching your lifestyle to the right finished basement ideas.
Our team at Rachel Brosky Interiors is here to share a few innovative basement window treatments to enhance the practicality and tie the area together.
Our 4 Favorite Finished Basement Ideas
Here are four of our favorite finished basement ideas and the best window treatments to finish the space:
1. Home Theater
Movie nights get better when you don’t have to leave your house. A basement is naturally darker, making it ideal for a home theater. For lighting control from any downstairs windows, Hunter Douglas room-darkening shades work wonders.
Duette® Cellular Shades, for example, keep glare out while adding extra insulation, which helps with temperature control in basements.
2. Guest Suites
If you want to create a private space for loved ones when they visit, your basement can easily become a comfortable suite. Add a small kitchen, custom bedding, a full bathroom, and soft lighting with floor lamps or pendant lights. You can also incorporate warm-toned wallpaper for an inviting touch and select fabrics that make the space feel bright and open.
Additionally, basement windows tend to be smaller, but with the right design, that’s no problem. Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades bring warmth and texture to compact spaces, while allowing adjustable light. You may even pair them with soft neutrals or subtle patterns for a truly timeless and cozy look for friends and family.
3. At-Home Gym
Why drive to the gym when you can have one at home? Rubber flooring, mirrors, and well-placed lighting make for a professional feel. For basement workouts, airflow and light truly make a difference.
Select Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up window treatments, like Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, to let in daylight while maintaining your privacy. These types of window coverings help balance ventilation and lighting while maintaining a polished look.
4. Game Room
A finished basement makes an excellent space for both fun and function, with options like a pool table, dartboard, or a board game corner. Add built-ins for storage and mix lighting with pendants and table lamps to inspire play or relaxation. You may even go for playful wallpaper patterns that add some personality.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Sheer Shades filter harsh sunlight, creating a stunning glow inside that serves as the perfect backdrop for playing games. And if your young kids play down here, choose cordless options like PowerView® Automation for a safer environment.
