Turn Your Basement into Your Favorite Room in Your Home

Basement refinishing is not only a great way to increase your home’s footprint without engaging into a construction project above the ground and without taking space away from your yard or your garden – it is also a great way to transform a little used space into your very favorite space in the entire house. Here are some ideas.

Sleeping Space with a Walk-in Closet

Many people would reject the idea of sleeping under ground level, but just think of the benefits:

  • Basements have small windows or no window at all, which can give you the privacy that you need in the form of a large and comfortable bedroom, with a spacious wardrobe for all your clothes and personal items close. Adding a shower or even a complete bathroom will require some more extensive plumbing work, but the results will surely be great;
  • Moving your sleeping space from upstairs will extend the space available above ground level, giving you the opportunity to improve the comfort of the entire home.

A Spacious and Comfortable Home Office

If you are a freelancer who can work from home or you have a job that allows you to work from home, transforming your basement into a comfortable office that has everything you need for efficient work is a great idea. Your home office will surely boost your creativity and your productivity, allowing you to work more passionately and to be more successful than you have ever imagined.

A Movie Theater

If you are passionate about movies, you would surely be happy to have a space where you can binge-watch whatever feature or documentary you feel like. Your basement is just perfect for installing the widest, flattest screen that you can afford, for getting a sound system that delivers astonishingly crispy sound.

If you love music and gaming, too, you can transform your basement into a multimedia room and invite your entire family to enjoy the games and music together.

A Man Cave

Basements are also great for having a room to enjoy manly hobbies, to have some peace and quiet or to invite some friends without disturbing the rest of the family. Start the project by making a list with the features and pieces of equipment that you need and want to have in your room and try to figure out the best layout, too – you will surely enjoy every minute of the process, right from the beginning.

A Flex Room

Flex rooms are spaces that can be used for multiple purposes. They might include a small space to be used as a living room, another small space that doubles as home office or even a small kitchen – in other words, a flex room can have separate spaces that expand the rooms above ground level, adding a little more function to each of them. Be prepared that your entire household will join you in your well-designed flex room in the basement, so don’t count on having too much peace and quiet down there.
