Adding to my troubles-we have wood walls in all but the bathroom and kitchen! Since we rent this apartment, and are on a budget, major renovations are out of the question for the most part. Any idea of how to brighten up and decorate/organize such a place? It’s kind of drab and dismal…I would love track lighting but know the landlord would never in a million years pay to have it installed lol. Just looking for some interesting and creative ideas on ways to decorate such a place.

I would just go with the feeling the place has already, and work on it. Maybe put your Halloween decorations out all year around. Nothing says “basement” like a few fake human skulls laying around and maybe a leg bone in the oven. You could even go to the pound and get the freakiest, most weirded out cat they have to scream at people. It doesn’t matter what color it is, because you want to paint it black with latex house paint anyway. Glob it on good so her fur is all matted up and she is really angry.
The wooden walls can be most useful too. Leave one of them completely bare of any decorations except some rusted chains bolted to them, and dump a can of red paint on the floor below. Let it just run everywhere naturally and let dry.
Don,t tell anyone its just paint. If anyone asks, just say “yeah, I’ve been meaning to clean that up”
