1. Bright and Airy Basement Bedroom Ideas

“Bright” and “airy” probably aren’t the first two adjectives that come to mind when someone mentions the word “basement.” But there’s no reason that they cannot apply to a basement bedroom or other basement living space. Using light wall colors, pale-colored bedding, and white furniture all contribute to creating a bright basement space.

Avoid clunky, dark furniture and opt for an open wrought iron bed instead. Although a dark floor can help anchor the space, a light-colored flooring material contributes to an open, airy feeling. Lace or sheer window treatments provide privacy while allowing light to filter through freely.

2. Basement Bedroom Ideas for Bunk Beds 

Bunk beds aren’t just for kids’ rooms anymore. Built-in bunk beds are an ideal feature in a basement guest bedroom or even along one wall in a basement living room. If you frequently have overnight guests, bunk beds are one of the most efficient basement ideas around.

Whether stacked two or three beds high, bunks can reach from the floor to a few feet below the basement ceiling. Install recessed lighting over each bed and be sure top bunks have a guard rail. If your basement remodel includes built-in bunk beds, add as many storage drawers as you can.
