Top Tips On How To Finish A Basement

• People with basements in their homes dont know
  how lucky they are! Never mind storing junk and
  boxes that wont see the light of day for years
  on end, the basement is another room just waiting
  to be transformed into something special.
• An office, a gym, a yoga studio, a wine cellar, a
  kids playroom, a pool room anything is
  possible!
• Here are some top tips on how to finish a
  basement, transform your living space and add
  thousands onto the price of the house.

Movie Theatre

• It doesnt matter how big a basement is, any
  space could be turned into a movie theatre for
  parties or watching the big sports game of the
  day with family and friends. Whether there is a
  smart TV with surround sound and reclining
  chairs, or a spare TV put up on the wall with a
  few bean bags or a couple of second-hand couches,
  a popcorn maker and a drinks fridge you have a
  great basement movie theatre. The bells and
  whistles version could cost as much as 16,500,
  but starting out with the basics could be under
  1,000.

Gym

• The hardest part about going to the gym is
  getting out of the front door. But, if the gym is
  in the house then there is no excuse. A personal
  gym does not have to mean lots of expensive gym
  equipment. It could start out with a skipping
  rope, boxing gloves, a yoga mat and some dumb
  bells and build from there. Perhaps introduce a
  fridge with chilled water.

Pool Room

• What a great place to relax after a hard day or
  to hang out with friends. Or brilliant for the
  tweens to impress their friends and stay off the
  streets and out of trouble. A pool table, dart
  board, an old couch and a beer fridge would work
  brilliantly in transforming a basement. Or with
  the space and the money, a fully stocked bar,
  stylish stools or bar chairs, a dark wood floor
  and photographs lining the wall will create a
  funky space for fun nights in.

Play Room

• Say goodbye to tidying up the chaos of toys and
  games created by the kids several times a day in
  a bid to keep your house in a degree of order.
  Turn the basement into a playroom and no-one
  needs to see the madness.
• Line half of the basement floors with soft play
  mats for them to jump around and do sporty type
  games and activities safely when the weather is
  bad outside. Big and bright colour plastic boxes
  will look amazing and store the toys and games.

• Or line the walls with low level shelves for
  books and jigsaws and toys and games, so the kids
  can just help themselves to what they want to
  play with. Create book corner, with bookshelves
  and comfy seats or bean bags for chill time and
  reading. Set up a table and chairs for crafts and
  drawing.

Wine Cellar

• A basement is just made for storing wine. But it
  is important that the environment is right for
  the job. It has to be cool and humid. If it is
  too dry in the basement then the cork will dry
  out and oxidize the wine. The temperature needs
  to be around 55 degrees, but any warmer and the
  wine ages faster. A glass walled wine room within
  your basement might be the best way to create a
  wine cellar that will store your precious wine
  collection safely. A wine room that works could
  increase the value of a house.

Yoga Studio

• If you are using yoga mats, then what the floor
  is made of is not the most important factor, but
  it needs to be smooth. Vinyl is a good and cheap
  option or hardwood looks fantastic. Lighting is
  important for yoga and creating a peaceful
  environment can be done through soft lighting. It
  might be as simple as changing the type of light
  bulb you use or adding a dimmer switch to have
  proper control of the lighting. Installing a
  mirror would create the illusion of more space
  and help to improve yoga technique.

11
Apartment or bedroom

• Airbnb is a great way to earn a little bit of
  extra money if there is space in the house and a
  basement apartment could be a perfect opportunity
  for a little holiday rental business. Or,
  transforming a basement into another bedroom or
  small self-contained apartment would help bring
  independence and privacy to older teenagers of
  college students wanting their own space.

12
Office

• Working from home has become the new normal for
  so many people, but with the kids running around
  and other day to day distractions, it can be hard
  to work from home. The solution a home office
  basement. This is a great way to shut the door
  and block out the disturbances and get a
  productive days work without the commute, office
  politics and stressful work environment. An
  office can be decked out as expensive or as
  budget basic as you need to. Or you could even
  split the room into a part office and part spare
  bedroom for guests when they come and stay over.
