A basement doesn’t need to only be a space to pile the holiday decorations and do laundry anymore. Instead you can choose to turn it into a fabulous space that will add more usable space, functionality, and value to your home. Imagine going to the basement to work out instead of getting ready, driving to the gym, waiting on your favorite machines, and driving back home. Invite your workout partner to your home gym instead of meeting them at the gym and enjoy their company and accountability in a more private setting.
Here are 4 more great ideas for how you can utilize your basement space:
Office Space
Are you one of the millions of people who are currently working from home at least part of the time? If you are, then you may want to consider adding an office space to your basement. This office space will ensure that you have quiet and privacy when the rest of your family is home. You can include a desk, chair, small table and chairs, bookshelves, and any other item that turns your office into a productive space.
Play Room
Children’s toys can end up everywhere in the house, but we recommend that you corral all of them and give them their own space down in your basement. You can create an amazing play room down in that space and your children can use it for hours every day. Imagine your children lounging on beanbag chairs reading a book, playing a game at the table, or sprawling across the floor as they are playing with their toys.
Game Room
We know that people enjoy getting together for card games and games of Dungeons and Dragons. Don’t worry; we won’t tell. Create your own private game room complete with a pool table and a table large enough for your next romp through a dungeon to slay goblins, ghouls, and dragons.
Family Room
If your living room is getting a little cramped or you want more space for entertaining, a family room may be the perfect option. You can create one large seating area in this space or you can decide to have multiple areas incorporated into the space. A television, couches, chairs, and tables are a must in this space, but you may also want to incorporate a bar area as well for serving drinks and food.
Make a List
You have multiple options to choose from when you decide to turn your basement into usable space. The most difficult thing for you will be choosing what to do with your basement, but thankfully you can choose more than one option if you plan carefully.
