You have a house, with a basement, and now that you've actually had time to sit down and think about what to do with this extra living space, you don't know how to choose.
The ideas are endless which may make it
hard for all family members to be happy with the finished product. One thing to
keep in mind, it must be comfortable and inviting. Your once dark, cold cellar
can be the warm and wonderfully designed space you've always wanted.
Let's think practicality, your basement
should have an extra room for guests and a full bathroom for them to enjoy.
With that said, why not turn the basement into your entertainment masterpiece?
Inevitably, the first thing that comes to
mind is building a bar and a close second is comfortable seating.
Perhaps a
location to play board games or bar games. The entertainment doesn't stop at
the bar itself.
Another option is to build a theatre room. One
with a fireplace perhaps? Theatre rooms are great for family movie night and
can be used for your entertainment room as well. No one said you had to limit
yourself to one theme.
Whatever you do decide though, have a plan
in place and get numerous quotes from licensed contractors. Not only will your
basement be finished and up to code but you will be happier with the result.
