Family Rec Room Decorating Ideas

Batman has never been duly recognized for his interior design finesse but let's face it, he made the most of the Wayne Manor sub-basement by turning it into an infamous crime-fighting cave.

You might not have that much room to spare – and you won't need it with these show-stopping basement designs from the KB Home stylists.

A Cozy Space

A little room can go a long way with the right design in mind.

2.You don't need a lot of space to proclaim your devotion to the guitar gods. This music-themed room hits all the right notes with guitars as wall art, a "Good Vibes" pillow, and a very cool mural depicting cassette tapes.
