Among one of the most popular home improvement projects for owners is remodeling the basement—turning it into a useful entertainment or guest living space. Since this room is underground, some thought should be given to how to lighten the atmosphere. This can often be done with paint choice and bright lighting. Here are some trending colors to consider. 

What Should You Paint the Basement?

1. Bright White

When you have a small basement without a lot of natural incoming light, white paint can be a refreshing option. Trim is usually painted with a higher gloss than the walls, creating a little more dimension in a space that is largely the same color.

Remember that you can always add more visual interest after remodeling by adding art to the walls, furniture, and decorations.

2. Cream

Cream is a white that is either tinted slightly gray or yellow, giving it a softer, more interesting appearance that also hides dirt better. Opt for an eggshell or satin finish since both of these attract light without reflecting it like a gloss.

3. Light Greige 

Greige paint combines a soft gray hue with a taupe or tan undertone, giving it a warm and sophisticated appearance. Light greige also works well in main living spaces and bedrooms, so consider adding it throughout your home for a more cohesive aesthetic.

4. Robin’s Egg Blue

This fun shade is a soft green-blue, giving your basement a pop of color. It is dark enough to hide scuffs and scratches, but light enough to keep your basement feeling airy.
