Basements Home Decorating

Small basement "nook"

Brooke Montgomery

6 years ago

We are currently in the process of finishing and decorating our basement. There is only one window in the basement and unfortunately it is at the end of a sort of narrow hallway. I was wanting to put a narrow poker table in there but I don't think that is going to work... any thoughts? I'm open to anything... reading area/lounge/chairs/decor. Thanks!!

Is the door the entrance? How about a cabinet with a easily cleaned top and a small fridge. Fill with movie and game night snacks and drinks.

the door is actually a pocket door leading to a storage area that we don't really need to access very often. we have another space in the basement that will be a full bar. the only reason we really didn't enclose this area is because it's our only window.

Long area like that screams shuffle board table to me.

Does anyone play that instrument often? Perhaps a comfy music/jam nook?
