Whether the interior is rustic, minimalist, modern or contemporary, even for a basement, a great interior always incorporates art. In displaying your sentimental photograph or priceless works of art, maximize exposure by taking advantage of the space over a large piece of furniture like a sectional sofa or above the fireplace mantel. Elements like these help anchor the art placed above them, adding a surprising focal point and helps avoid making the framed piece appear as it was floating on a large wall. It also lends an unforgettable edge to your space.
No matter the time of year, oversized windows will allow abundant natural light all year long and help makes the intimate seating area in your basement feel welcoming. Large glass windows can also work wonders especially when the winter blues come.
However, for basements that don’t have the luxury of natural lighting, a strategic placement of accent light fixture to illuminate your artwork is your best option. A couple of downlight in a series or an uplight along the hallway will shine the light and helps give emphasis to an already interesting art piece. You can also utilize table lamps or floor lamps for the same purpose.
Read on to see charmingly sophisticated designs for a basement that some illustrates excellent ideas how to display your favorite artworks.
