Make Your Basement’s Ductwork One Of Its Best Features
Unless your whole home is intentionally industrial, exposed ductwork in a basement can feel like a real fashion faux pas. But, with just a little paint, you can turn that unfortunate eyesore into a sight for sore eyes!
To turn your ductwork into your basement’s best feature, simply paint it a bold color that complements your basement’s existing color scheme. This’ll brighten up the space as much as any accent wall would, but takes considerably less time. If your piping is tucked away in a not-so-obvious area, taking a plain ol’ paintbrush to them is just fine. If it’s in a more prominent position, spray paint will provide a more even and intentional look. Just make sure to wash the piping with some soap and water first, and lay down the right type of paint primer. Then, have at it! Once it’s done, you’ll have ductwork that’s as fashionable as it is functional.
