THE CHALLENGE
Cara Bremer of Annandale wants to turn her basement into a playroom for her 13-month-old daughter, Lydia. She’d like to incorporate wall decals, additional lighting and lots of color. “Calmness need not be evoked here,” she wrote. Her budget is about $1,500.
THE SOLUTION
By adding an activity table and lots of lighting, designer Denise Willard turns the dark basement into a bright rec room.
Brighten a dull basement with sconces, floor lamps and a chandelier.
Highlight the alphabet with removable wall decals, an educational twist on the fun space.
An ottoman can double as storage. Use it to hold extra blankets, books or art supplies.
Choose kid-friendly and interactive decor. A personalized chart lets children track their growth.
An arts-and-crafts area keeps messy activities away from the couch and ottoman.
Neutral walls balance bright accessories. Walls are Concord Ivory by Benjamin Moore.
Store supplies within a child’s reach. Low storage makes for an easy cleanup.
