Bedrooms would usually be the one place from your home that may move from tiny touches.

Nevertheless, regardless of the simplicity of shifting up them, their bedrooms are neglected by many people in support of adorning chambers.

There isn’t anything more reassuring than sinking to its surroundings within a comfy and moving to their bedroom.

Are you the kind of person that loves hosting people overnight? Are you the first person friends and family members ask to stay with when they visit your town? You love playing host or hostess to the people that you love, but after a while you can get kind of tired of having your living room couch taken up by visitors or having to wait in line to use the bathroom when guests are over.

Instead of feeling like you’re being put out of house and home when people are staying over, why not give guests a home of their own when they come to visit?  Don’t put yourself out the next time you have company, put them in a guest suite!  If you have a home, it’s safe to assume that you have a basement, and that it’s probably full of junk you don’t really need. If you want your basement to truly feel like home away from home, make sure you follow these tips when you’re planning.

Add some height and space (without doing foundation work)

Your basement does have enough room for guests, but they would be in for a bit of a snug stay.  Don’t worry if your basement isn’t spacious, there are plenty of things you can do when you’re building and decorating to make the basement feel a bit more open. Unfinished ceilings can help add the illusion of height to your basement, and you won’t have to worry about spending money on ceiling tiles. A few well-placed mirrors can also help make a room feel a lot bigger.

Go with warm colors

The lowest level of your home isn’t going to be getting a lot of light, and darkness is one of the main reasons why people are reluctant to have guest suites in the basement. You don’t have to constantly have lights on to make a room feel brighter. Make the room feel bright and inviting by decorating it in warm colors. Light oranges, yellows, and off shades of white and beige can really help add some much needed light to a basement suite.

Make it comfortable
