What should I have my basement as?

[~Mae~]

Hi there~

I've been having trouble with my basement... It's been everything from a cleaning room to a strange stalker room, from and office to a spare room.

I'm really at a loss for what to do... My character Lillie has all the creative arty rooms so I cant do that... And I was thinking of doing a library thing, however idk how to make that cute and its very stereotypical

Spoiler: My other rooms

Living room (main)

Kitchen (right)

Bathroom (back)

Dining room (left)

Bedroom (upstairs)

Any ideas of what I could do, or how to make a library work and look cute?

Edit: I've decided to make it into a den thing (you know with comfy sofas, big tvs and some games, snacks ect.

Any idea on what furniture I should put in there? :3

well, they do have those bookshelves where they reach to the ceiling. I forgot what they were called. But perhaps you could do a theater in replacement if you ran out of ideas? Or perhaps an arcade of your own?

I think its called a large bookcase... a theatre is a good idea... :3

A mad scientist theme fits the basement of most houses.

I really like your dining room, that's cute. I second a theatre though, it would look really nice.

My basement is a library, which is really cute ^__^

For games in a den, I personally picture the big table games, like the ping-pong table, billiard table, or foosball. You can also set up a little bowling alley too! That might be cute!

Comfortable seating is a must. The patchwork sofa would definitely fit that theme, as well as the cream sofa, maybe the chaise... you can also go for sleek furniture as a more modern vibe.

As for other things, you could put in a fireplace, maybe an upright piano. I dunno, my grandparents had one in their den, so that's what I think of as far as den furniture!

To me a den has always been akin to a living room. So if you're not completely set on the idea, you could always make it her hobby room. A art/photography studio, a greenhouse, a sewing room, etc. Take what your character loves doing and make a special room for it! c:

Well I was going to suggest a Casino in the basement using the card set haha. But a den sounds cool.
I think furniture in the den should definitely have them cream sofas for absolute comfort and a fireplace to make it warm and cozy.

My house has a Royal theme to it and consists of a mix of Regal, Rococo and Princess furniture and the basement is going to be a Casino when I get to it.

I would recommend a Mush basement since it would add a unique change to your interior decorating.
