The basement is often a neglected and underutilised space which is mainly reserved for storing stuff. And it is also considered to be dark, musty and uninviting. But by implementing creative decor schemes, and introducing stylish colours, furniture and lighting, you can give your mundane basement a stunning new look. Here, we bring you 10 brilliant ideas to turn a basement into an entertainment zone. Your basement can be used as a media room, a play area for kids, a party zone, a gym, or a workshop. With the right designing, you can use it to house an indoor pool too!

A quirky pool parlor

Rendered by the talented architects at Sotto Mayor Arquitetura E Urbanismo, this basement is essentially a dashing pool parlor with a rustic brick wall which holds a TV. The gray wall is decked with quirky decorative accents which entice those who are passionate about automobiles, music, and other fun things in life. Industrial chic pendant lamps brighten up the space along with recessed lights.

Plush lounge

A luxurious Rockefeller sofa accompanied by matching black armchairs offer cozy seating in this basement lounge. A plush rug, a trendy coffee table and sleek, floating shelves complete the welcoming ambiance of this space. Decorative accents which appeal to music lovers adorn the brick wall, while artworks and vintage bric-a-brac make for a charming look.

Eat, drink and be merry

You can also consider turning your basement into a fashionable bar like the one shown here. Practical and chic shelves of different sizes help in holding the bottles and glasses, while the sleek counter is accompanied by trendy high chairs for you to enjoy drinks with friends. Compact round tables with smart chairs offer dining pleasures if you want to grab a bite.
