Basements are popular places for building a home bar. Often built in conjunction with a game room or other entertainment space, basement bars tend to be masculine in design.

Basements, with their low light levels, lend themselves well to the dark, cozy atmosphere of bars. While bar decor depends in large part on your personal taste, the best way to decide upon a decor is to first determine how you will use your basement bar.

Sports Bar
1. Create your own sports bar. Many men (and women) long for their own sports bar; a place to gather with family and friends to watch the big game and have a few beers. To transform your bar into a sports bar, you will first need to invest in a large, flat-screen TV. This can be hung behind the bar or on a wall nearby.

Provide plenty of seating in the form of comfortable bar stools. Hang posters, a large clock and other items that promote your favorite sports teams. You can rotate these depending on the season. Stock your bar with mugs, coasters and other accessories and supplies that reflect your love of sports.

Lighting, hidden storage space and the purpose of the room are the key things to consider while you decorate.

1. Visit paint and fabric stores and browse your options. You may be tempted to choose colors that match the decor of the rest of your home, but a basement has a clear separation from every other space.

Experiment with colors, patterns and textures to make this lower level a unique space. Consider possible themes for the basement, like tropical, romantic or French country styles.

2. Protect your furniture with plastic drapes and paint the walls. Consider painting the ceilings the same color as the walls to make them seem higher.

3. Build or purchase storage shelves. Basements are often the primary storage space in a home. These shelves should be large and strong enough to hold seasonal clothing, holiday decorations and other items. You can hide the shelves with a floor-to-ceiling curtain to keep cardboard boxes out of sight.

4. Install indirect lighting fixtures like wall sconces or rope lighting. They direct light up and away from people’s faces, giving a room a pleasant glow.
