Building Our Dream Home: Basement Ideas
| August 14, 2013 | Posted by Jessie under Building our Dream Home |
We have our first-floor floor plans finalized {woohoo!!!} and are now moving onto the basement. We don’t plan on finishing it right away, but would like it to be a usable space. My uncle, who is a builder, had some great ideas on how to give the basement a nice look in the in-between time. One idea that we really liked was to cut some lines into the concrete floor to make it look like large tiles. They have this in their house on the main floor with a stained color and it looks awesome. We are planning on cutting the lines and polishing it up so it looks decent until we decide to finish it off with other flooring. Throw a couple rugs down, add some furniture, and it looks like an beautiful, livable space. Here are some great inspiration pics:
You can even add grout and make it look like tile!I’ve also seen some great tutorials on staining them DIY style which could be fun too.
What do you think about concrete floors?
