While adding space to a home is always possible, remodeling an existing area can be a great alternative. Not only is a remodel more cost-effective but it can also be a simpler process. As such, unfinished basements can offer a range of remodeling possibilities. Once transformed, your basement can provide space for entertaining, relaxing, working, or sleeping.
Whether you plan to improve all or just part of your basement, this unfinished area can provide a goldmine of opportunities to enhance the comfort and functionality of your home.
What Can Be Done with Basement Remodel?
Whether your family is growing and more room is needed, or you simply wish to improve your home’s potential, the time has come to alter your existing space. Alternatively, you may need a private space for visitors to stay or want to create a personal space. In any case, you should first imagine what might be possible using your basement space.
With the professional help of a qualified design build professional, you can easily accomplish your home goals with minimal interference while keeping your project within budget. The design build team can help you understand what is feasible and how the remodeling process will play out.
Depending on your needs and the size of the available basement space to finish, there are several types of basement upgrades. Some of the top upgrades, according to HGTV, include:
Home Offices
Due to the recent pandemic, more people than ever before are working from home. Since some companies are making this arrangement permanent and more freelance opportunities exist today, home offices are becoming a necessity. New office designs should allow for the maximum amount of natural light where possible. Otherwise, consider adding additional lighting to replicate natural light.
Media Room
A basement media room with insulated walls and some version of theater seating can be a fabulous addition for family and friends to enjoy. A properly positioned screen and surround sound can deliver hours of pure enjoyment. You’ll be able to watch movies, sporting events, and other media in style from the comfort of your home.
Gymnasium
Given the proper basement ceiling height and access, you might want to consider moving your gym equipment to the basement. Simply finish up the walls and floors and consider adding a bathroom and shower to complete the gym experience.
Guest Suites or Additional Bedrooms
Growing families or those with adult children who visit frequently or stay for an extended period demand additional space. The basement redesign may include a bedroom with a bath, closet space, or even a small kitchen. You could also consider turning your basement into an in-law suite.
Bar, Party Room, or Man Cave
If you love to entertain, but don’t have the right space, remodeling the basement could be a great solution. You could set up a bar area, alongside a cozy relaxation area with atmospheric lighting.
Or perhaps a well-designed basement area could be the answer for a family member who wants to relax in solitude. You could set up a custom area with his/her favorite possessions and accessories. Imagine a room with a private bath, large screen TV and audio system that can be a perfect oasis.
Wine Cellar
Creating a temperature-controlled segregated wine storage area can be an excellent addition for real wine lovers and collectors. Ensure the area is well-insulated, accessible, and sufficiently lit. This will enable you to identify your collection of favorite bottles quickly when you need them.
