Ideas on how to turn a basement into a little place for kids?

I was thinking on creating different spaces for them. A kitchen/dining room, living room, office, and possibly a bedroom area. I was thinking of dividing the "rooms" with king size sheets, hung in a neat manner. Our basement isn't finished or anything (drywall/paint, etc) but is in good enough shape to have a little fun with it. I don't know if I am allowed to paint or put anything on the floor (except carpet...not tacked down) And ideas, thoughts, tips? It doesn't have to be perfect....my little ones are just happy to have a place to play. Budget is small~creativity is limitless. THANKS!


Answer
A table or old desk for a craft area. Then hang baskets or an old shoe organizer to put craft materials in:glue, paint, brushes, crayons, markers, scissors, glitter, stickers,etc.

Old file cabinet painted a funky color to hold materails like paper and finished projects. you can also hang a clothes line for them to clip paintings on to dry and to display finished works of art!

Maybe in one area, you could put a bunch of thick blankets and floor pillows down for a cozy pallet/nest to nap on.

Not sure how old your kids are or if they are boys/girls, but you could have an area with books, and puzzles, another make believe area with dress up stuff and "props" (umbrella, old high heels, old halloween wigs, feather boa, purses)... I loved to play "kitchen" when I was littel. If they have a play kitchen then when you run out of food, save the boxes/jars/containers for them to play "kitchen" with. Any old plastic dishes you don't use anymore... or if they don't have a kitchen, 2 chairs and table will work! A big box or set of shelves can hold the "food".


Lots of mirrors since I doubt the basement has many windows...Let the kids create the art and frame it in an old frame and decorate with those! You can even create with them and hang your work on the wall too!

How to set up teen guys bedroom?




Nicnac


There's 2 teenage boys who will be sharing a bedroom. They are cousins. They are both freshman in high school(they will be sophomores next school year). We were wondering what are some possibilities to paint their room and what comforters and blankets and sheets they night like and what type of other things they might like in their room and everything.
They are both athletic(one boy likes soccer, track and field and baseball and the other boy likes running, skiing, and track and field)
I don't really know what their other interests are.



Answer
I have to tell you that most young men are not too particular about their rooms. If it was me, I would keep the room mostly masculine looking and not much clutter to it.
Try starting with two twin or double beds (depending on room) and matching headboards. I would go with either a micro suede or faux leather for young men in a neutral colour. I would go with maybe a black headboard with taupe comforter and white sheets. Maybe add a black throw and some cushions in dark red or burgandy (leather would be good). The walls would be a light taupe colour and maybe one important framed picture above each boy's bed. I would choose a picture of the sport they enjoy playing, maybe an important athlete to them. You may want to incorporate a desk for each boy if you have the room. Maybe even wall mounted light fixtures so each of them can have their own light to work in bed or read. Also, keep the window treatments simple, maybe horizontal blinds or roman blinds. And don't forget to add some storage somewhere in the room. Under the bed can be utilized for this as well.
Good luck with it.
