A finished basement adds a significant amount of square footage and value to your home. Your options for the space are endless when you pursue a basement remodel with the team at SRK General Construction in Maryland Heights, MO. They shared a few of their favorite creative design ideas below for inspiration. 

Fun Options for Basement Remodels

1. Playroom

If you want to hand the space over to the kids, turn the basement into a giant playhouse. Some decals or a mural on the walls will set the scene. A marbled and medium-toned nylon carpet is ideal. It’s a soft surface that’s also durable and will hide any stains. Get creative by designing the space with your children in mind. For example, a whimsical fort in the corner is good for young kids while older kids might enjoy a large bookshelf with a cozy reading nook.

2. Bar & Game Room

If you want the space for adults to play instead, put in a bar with an entertainment room. A good bar will have a standard fridge, sink, wine fridge, shelves for liquor bottles, and a sit-in bar with stools. For the entertainment space, a game room is a fantastic option with a cabinet full of board games and a game table or a large television with plenty of seating around it.

3. Wine Cellar

For the wine lovers out there, a basement is the perfect place to store and enjoy a wine collection. Incorporate an entire wall of bottle racks. If you want to give the room a natural feel, try stone tile floors and stacked stone walls. An area with couches and tables in front of a fireplace lends a romantic ambiance. This room should have separate climate control from the rest of the house, allowing you to store your collection in ideal conditions.
