If you are looking for great basement designs for your basement, you may want to consider going retro. Even if your basement is a dark and dingy den for spiders at the moment, you can transform it into a fun place to hang out with a retro design. On a tight budget, you say? No problem. Even if you don't have a lot of cash to spare, you can most likely come up with something that will turn your basement into a retro retreat.

Retro design or no, if you want a livable basement, lighting is one of the most important elements you need to consider. Go wild with the lighting: Add some nice lava lamps to enhance that retro theme. Consider installing a disco ball. As light sources go, you can't get much more retro than that. Make sure that you add plenty of lights, since basements can be quite dark to begin with.

It is also important that you come up with beautiful retro window coverings for your retro basement designs as well. Look around and you are sure to find plenty of patterns that will go great with a retro theme. You could always purchase the curtains, but if you're creative and know how to sew (or you're willing to learn), you could buy the materials and make the curtains yourself.

We've got the lights, we've got the curtains, and now we just need a few extra touches to pull it all together. Consider throwing in some retro pillows, wall art, and similarly retro decorations that will emphasize your chosen theme throughout the whole basement.

A retro theme in your basement can definitely be a fun theme to incorporate.
