subject: How To Create A Really Nice Cubby For Your Hubby [print this page] Have you been thinking about creating a special room in the house where you can entertain guests, relax and unwind other than the usual bedroom or living room? You've come across the right article because this helpful piece addresses just that.
Some paint, lots of storage shelves and cabinets and a nice separated area for hanging out with friends to catch the game on TV and you have a unique place for leisure time. Here are a few things to consider.
Decide first how much space you need and how much work you're willing to do. The garage may have a limited space compared to the basement as a big space is allotted for your car. However, the garage has more points in the unique and creative factors compared to the basement. Whichever room you choose, both are easy to decorate with the right materials.
Organize. Have a shelf or storage cabinet for storing the tools and other stuff in the garage. It will tidy up everything and it will help you find things faster. You won't believe how the room will look much more airy with no litter and things loitering on the floor. You can install pegs to hang heavier tools and allot a space for equipment. From now on, don't lean your grass mower in your car. Place it in the appropriate section of the garage.
Clean the room well and organize the things. Have a storage cabinet or a layered shelf to keep things orderly. You can also have a board where you can hang your tools. For an easy return to their proper places, spray paint the board while the tools are still hanging so their shapes will be molded. When it dries, you'll see the marks and you can always easily return the tools in their proper places.
Have some furniture such as chair, TV, stereo and table to complete the look of a place of relaxation.
Now, to pull all this together and to separate the relaxation area from the workshop area, you can place an area rug. The size of the area rug will of course depend on the size of your room.
If you decide to bring in a furniture set, say for your sofa, placing the rug under it looks nice. Otherwise, you can choose a furniture piece and accent it with the rug. For instance, you can use it as your chair's cushion or your table's base.
Choosing a bamboo area rug might be a good choice here. This will depend on your furniture style. If the furniture is mismatched, it is very easy to change the look by using furniture throws or covers. This way you can make your look more harmonious.
The color of your area rug needs to be the same value or tone of the walls, furniture and floor, especially if it is painted. You don't want your rug to stand out like a sore thumb but rather be the focal point that defines your grouping.
Using an area rug will anchor your entertainment area, making your room unique and cozy, plus a dash of flair to your basement or even your garage room.
