Repurpose old furniture rather than buying new.
Designer and homeowner Barbara Purdy converted a wood-burning fireplace to gas to make a cosy focus in this room. I couldn't see myself hauling logs down the staircase, she states. Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile floor adds even more heat. The sofa, a hand-me-down from her parents, was regained and layered with pillows. Tour this cellar on Online TV, and find more inspiration in our photograph galleries of Barbara Purdy Designs, Budget Basement Decorating Tips and Suzanne Dimma's Favourite Dreamy Retreats.
Lower-Level Guest Bedroom-Wallpaper a wall instead of four.
From the 2009 Princess Margaret Showhome, the reduced level was finished with style. A focal wall was coated in a textured background while others were painted a creamy white to maximize lighting. A table and chandelier lamps make it possible for guests to choose their favorite lighting.
Present Storage-Use storage area under the stairs instead of building brand new cabinets.
In Tanya Linton's home, every spare nook is used for extra storage. With two little boys running around, baskets are best for concealing toys and knickknacks. In a small corner, a heap of books and magazines doubles as a side table into a painted seat.
Playful Home Office - Embrace brick walls instead of drywalling over them.
A red accent wall adds the look of depth to this room and feels daring and cheerful compared to the basement's easy black and white plot. The gallery wall features original drawings from designer Theresa Casey and her husband, Robert Gray.
