Holiday Planning

(NC)-With chilly temperatures and snow on the ground, it may seem too cold to start any home renovation project, but winter is actually an ideal time to begin sprucing up your basement. By making a few changes, you can create a cozy space to spend time with guests during the holidays. Here are a few tips from The Home Depot on how to quickly and easily tackle this project.

• Turn up the heat

Basements are the coldest areas in the home, yet with the potential of becoming the most inviting. A fireplace will instantly add warmth to this cool area, providing direct heat into the room. There are several different styles available at homedepot.ca to fit any look and budget.

• If these walls could talk

New paint on walls is like an instant facelift for your basement. Painting is an effective and quick way to change the look and feel of the room - making it a more inviting place to spend time. There are also several different styles of wallpaper available at The Home Depot that will help give your basement a fresh and updated look.

• Walk this way

Keep your toes warm and toasty by installing subflooring on top of the cold basement floor. Once installed, cover it with carpet, wood, laminate or tile - whatever suits your style.

• Let there be light

Many basements have little or no available natural light, which can make the room gloomy. Consider installing pot lights or track lighting across the ceiling. These types of light fixtures will instantly brighten the room by giving it a warm glow.
