Basement Design
Adding personality to your basement does not only start with the structure: It also begins with finishing and fixtures. On this note, redesigning your current basement is a faster, more affordable option than a complete renovation to revamp or add to the basement area.
Structural Improvements
Upgrading ceilings, floors, and walls are the main ways to improve basement structure. For starters, you may opt to change the flooring, install insulation, or elevate the ceiling. Likewise, you may have your basement’s windows, lighting, and storage areas upgraded as well.
Room Enhancements
Basement entryways make impressions, so you want to have a good one. Consider upgrading the staircase leading to the basement. Not only does a stairwell make the basement feel more spacious, but it also makes it more accessible.
You can upgrade basement windows as well. Doing so welcomes more natural lighting, making the basement more comfortable and inviting. But if natural light is scarce, do not worry. You can easily find artificial light sources like pot lighting and light dimmers.
Basement Bathrooms and Bedrooms
Extend your living space by renovating or creating bedrooms and bathrooms in your basement. Of course, not everyone is thrilled with this concept. But pay no attention and pursue your vision. With suitable tiles, better insulation, lighting, fixtures, and ground heating, you can improve the quarters.
Basement Built-ins, Bars, Wine Cellars, and Man Caves
A basement houses a lot of things. They are home to special items too! You can make your basement accommodate your hobbies like the ones below:
Built-ins and Bars
Built-ins are customizable according to your vision. Just ensure that no storage space is compromised so that you do not lose functional areas. Meanwhile, adding a basement bar gives an edge to hosting family and friends. Enjoy making and consuming drinks in the comfort of your home! We have many design plans to give you great ideas.
Wine Cellars
Are you a wine connoisseur with a wine collection? Show them off in wine cellars! Storing wines in the basement guarantees their safety. Going down to drink them in the basement adds experience too.
Man Caves
Having a man cave is the ultimate dream of many. So whether you are building one for yourself or your partner, you will reap the benefits of owning it. Elements like the perfect lighting, good installation, and visual entertainment needs make a man cave come together.
Basement Home Theaters
A home theater is a great entertainment option for the family- especially if you have kids. Here are the things that upgrade it:
Raised Seating
You can have raised seating just like the ones in the actual movie theaters. Platforms and risers- which come in different dimensions- give you a great view of the screen, making it enjoyable.
Movie Projector
Projectors on a hanging device on the ceiling are popular. Such positioning gets the projector out of your way yet provides accessibility for its manual manipulation.
Snack Counter
A basement home theater is not complete without a snack bar. Hence, you may add your snack counter that offers an array of drinks and snacks that you can access anytime.
