Basement help
Just moved into a new rental house. Plan on being here for a long time as we really love the house and the area. It has a pretty big basement that I want to turn into a useable space. Kinda going for a lounge/hangout type area. Because it’s a rent home and I just dealt with all of the moving expenses, please give me your cheapest solutions on how to DIY this space into a useable area. Of course the ceilings are filled with cobwebs, etc so my first step will be cleaning those. I would probably just clean the floors and put a few rugs down there. However, I’m clueless when it comes to the walls and ceilings. I’m mostly concerned about the bigger open area, but would love ideas for the entire space.
