Dark colored paint on walls behind built in bookcases reduces the gap between book colors and the back wall. It also harmonizes the look of rows of uneven books and can improve overall room cohesion.
Basements clearance rules for low-cost house designs
Basements are not included in some low cost house designs and must maintain at least 18 inches clearance between the bottom edge of girders and joists and the ground below them to meet standards.
