If you have a finished basement, you are lucky! A basement can serve as an extra bedroom, rec room, or home office. Some are even large enough to be converted into an apartment. The problem is that basements tend to lack natural lights for several reasons:

  • A lack of windows
  • Low ceilings
  • Shrubs placed right outside

These things leave basements dark and dreary and can make the space feel small and cramped.   The good news is that it is easy to illuminate a dark basement. These ideas will help you transform a cramped, dark basement into a functional, bright space.

Update the Entryway Door

If your basement has direct access to the outdoors and you have a solid exterior door—consider replacing it with one that has paned glass. A door that has two or more fixed glass panels will flood even the darkest of basements with a plethora of natural light. We offer sliding glass doors fully installed!

Install a Window High on the Wall

Most basements lack natural light as there is hardly any exterior wall space to place windows. Unfortunately, artificial lighting does not have the same quality as natural light. Although you can’t install large windows since most basement walls sit below ground, you can place a row of hopper windows just below the ceiling. Choose a window specifically designed for basements like this one from The Window Source. It is made to resist moisture and easily fits the short height allowance of a basement window opening.

Choose the Right Colors

Because light bounces off pale colors and absorbs into dark colors, you’ll need to choose the right color palette for your basement. Bright colors are perfect for basements but resist the urge to just choose the lightest shade on the paint swatch. Although white might seem like a natural choice, it can take on a dull hue when there isn’t a lot of natural light. Try painting the walls beige and choosing darker accent colors to create contrast. This will give your basement a cozy, bright ambiance.

The above tips will help you give your dingy, sun-starved space a new life. Your basement will go from being the most rarely used room in your home to the most popular one.
