Basement renovations are a very common and popular project in many households. Some people wish to merely update their already finished basement while others want to turn their unfinished basement into a functional and inviting living space. Basement renovating ideas are plentiful. From merely refreshing paint colours to constructing walls and ceilings the options are limitless.
Renovating your basement from scratch is a complicated and time consuming project but you finish with an increase in living area and in home value. People renovate their basements for several reasons. Maybe you have a growing family and need the extra living space. If this is your reason for renovating your basement, try a family room or playroom depending on the age of your children. Basements are a great place for an extra bedroom. Teenagers in particular like the privacy of a basement bedroom. If there is room in your basement the addition of a second or third washroom is ideal.
Some people have already finished their basements for the above reasons and their children have grown older. Consider redecorating the playroom and turning it into a fun games room. Set up an area of the room for video and computer games. Built in shelving or storage is a great way to keep games and controllers neat and organized. Add a wet bar area for both children and adults. Children and young adults can use the bar area as a juice and snack bar. Add an air hockey table, pool table or dartboard to make your basement a fun and safe place for your children and teens to spend time. Your new games room is also a great place for the whole family to gather to play board games, cards or watch movies.
Once your children have all grown and left the home there are endless possibilities for basement renovating ideas. Movie fanatics can turn the space into a home theater. Dedicate one wall for a large screen television or projection screen. You can even paint one wall a light color and use the wall as your projection screen. Set up comfortable seating at an ideal distance from the screen or projection surface. Keep the wet bar for snacks and beverages and even add an old fashioned popcorn machine. Decorate the walls with your favorite movie posters and be sure to have the latest surround sound system. Soundproofing the room is a consideration you may want to make. If movies aren't your passion, turn the room into a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves. Or maybe a state of the art exercise room is more your style.
