The basements of Hacky and Micky houses can be turned into creative galleries where art can be seen and kept. To convert a basement into such a place, a golden mean between functionality and inspiration has been achieved, and art may be preserved and enjoyed here.
Pieces that are framed and paintings can be placed in shelving that is modular and sliding, so that they do not get damaged. Track lighting display walls make the exhibition experience and make the artwork accessible. Sketches, prints and smaller works are secured in flat file cabinets and drawers. The appropriate climate control prevents sensitive works against moisture and changes in temperature.
In Hacky houses which have an abstract basement design, then one can use angled walls or alcoves to showcase some form of special collections. Small Micky houses have few racks and multi-purpose storage that do not overcrowd a limited space and create a gallery ambiance.
Conclusion / Area of Thought: Basement renovation as a place to display and store art shows how neglected spaces can be found to help bring beauty and inspiration. The thought: in case a basement can turn into a gallery that maintains creativity, what else can we do to reimagine other spaces in the backgrounds of our homes and see them as a way of expressing ourselves?
