Color to use on ceilings as well as walls in basement - We just finished our basement. The ceiling height is 71/2'. The bedroom is 13'x13'. We have a bathroom as well as a small family room. I would like to paint the walls balanced beige by Sherwin Williams. I was wondering if I could paint the ceilings the same color? Thank-you!

Can this be done in a fairly small room...about 12 x 16.... We have crown moulding around the perimeter and a pool table centered in the room. Taupe walls and slightly lighter ceiling with sage green silk drapes. Would love to pull an accent color above the pool table.

Did you stagger the 1"x8" planks when running them horizontally on the lower wall? Do they meet at the same point creating a vertical line all the way up the lower wall? I can't tell by the picture. Looks great!

The pool table shown here looks like one our models, called the Lorient. It's true that a four by eight foot pool table is considered "standard". However most folks are unaware of two important facts. 1. Most slate pool tables are available in smaller sizes, such as seven foot and even six foot. 2. Standard size cue sticks are normally 57-58 inches in length, but most people are unaware that shorter cues are available for sale.

It is definitely best to put the trim first because your flooring will most likely change over time and the trim will stay on the walls.

I would estimate about 6-7 feet. My kitchen island is 8 feet and I can fit 4 chairs across. This just has 3, though it seems to have a little extra space on the left side.

The total room dimensions are 13'-6" x 19'-0". The pool table is a standard 4'x8' and the rule of thumb is to make sure that you have 4' on all sides of the pool table available for clearance.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Shane D. Inman added this to Designer's Touch: 10 Amazing Basement Upgrades

10. Billiards basement. Layer your basement with wainscoting, crown moldings and carpeting, and top it off with a professional pool table. Your dynamic game room awaits — with or without a wet bar.

Shawn Gauthier added this to 10 Tips for Decorating a Renovated Basement

7. Enhance visual space. Create a sense of height by choosing light colors for the ceiling and flooring. “It tricks the eye,” says Hullinger.

Vanessa Brunner added this to Readers' Choice: The 10 Most Popular Basements of 2012

1. Gray and white in Virginia. Crown molding contrasts with soft gray walls to visually open up this elegant basement. This refreshing space proves that basements don't have to be dark and dingy — a coat of paint can make all the difference.

Toronto Interior Design Group | Yanic Simard added this to 11 Ways to Work With a Windowless Room

4. French doors. Adding windows to a doorway (by converting to French doors) also gives the eye that sense of peeking out into a space beyond, and lets a new ambient light source in, even if the adjacent “room” is simply a pantry. Add a few lights inside or a single ceiling fixture (with a cool fluorescent bulb), and the hint of light pouring out will give the illusion of daylight.

Michelle Gage | Interior Designer added this to 10 Ideas for an Anything-but-Boring Basement

8. Make it for adults. Who says kids get to have all the fun? Create a space that is ideal for adult play. Set up a bar and pool table for fun Friday nights. If you have children, they can still use the space — just make sure to keep toys and clutter out of sight and out of mind.

Affecting Spaces added this to 13 Ways to a Better Basement

10. Game room. Basements often serve as recreation rooms, with pingpong and pool tables. But bear in mind that columns can affect your layout and consider the circulation space needed around your game tables.Key Measurements: Recreation Rooms Rule
