If your home has a basement, chances are it’s not being used to its full potential. Do yourself a favor by transforming your unused space with a basement remodeling project. Not only will your new finished basement add space to your home, but it will also add value.

Remodeling Ideas for Your Finished Basement

1. Create a Home Bar and Entertaining Space

Make your house your friends' favorite destination by building a bar in your finished basement. Add fridges, beer taps, and a bar top. Putting in a pool table and a big-screen TV will make it an ideal entertainment space.

2. Turn It into a Home Movie Theater

Give your family the ultimate movie viewing experience by installing a home theater in your finished basement. Paint the walls a dark color and add mood lighting. Then you can add a screen and projector in front of rows of recliners or sofas.

3. Make a Playroom for Your Kids

Give your kids their own area of the house to play and hang out with their friends. You can keep it as simple as a couch, a few tables, and a storage area for games and toys. Or you could install slides and a ball pit to make the area even more exciting.

4. Get the Home Gym You’ve Always Wanted

You can fill your basement with your favorite exercise machines, so you’ll never have to pay a monthly gym fee again. Keep in mind, during the remodeling process, that the floors should be made of durable material. You may also think about installing a wall of mirrors so that you can watch your form.

5. Turn It into a Separate Living Area or Spare Bedroom

If you prefer to use your finished basement for something more practical, turn it into a spare bedroom or living space. This will give your extended family, friends, and grown children a place to stay when they visit. If possible, have a kitchenette and a small bathroom installed for your guests’ convenience.
