Wall Paneling Ideas For Basement

Achieve a Modern Log Cabin Look

Before a treatment like this may be installed over masonry basement walls, you want to make certain that the walls are dry and pliable. You will want to build a stud wall at the front of the masonry wall to ensure a finished coating that is plumb if your cellar walls are of plumb. In cases like this, the stud wall is attached to the slab along with the joists.

Start with the Fundamentals

Strips of stained timber include architectural appeal, and panels of bright fabric add color.

Form and Style the Space

Define a cellar room with curved walls and interesting artwork. The wall here started with a framework of studs. It is covered with veneer panels increased wood blocks to produce the wainscoting and overlaid with molding. Over the chair rail, a mural depicts a whimsical scene of dogs playing billiards.

A Vibrant, Beautiful, Budget End

A thrifty solution to finishing a basement laundry room is to paint everything white--concrete-block walls as well as the exposed floor joists and ducts overhead--and mask the walls with drapes.
