Did you know that you can use your basement for much more than doing laundry and storing boxes? There is a lot of space down there and if you are not utilizing it to its fullest potential, it is not serving any purpose at all.
Here are 5 ways that you can use your basement to create additional space in your home:
Family Room
If your upstairs is lacking a dedicated family room, then you can create one down in your basement. This can be where you watch movies, play video games, play board games, and even read books together. Your children can even use this new area to hang out with all their friends and have sleepovers.
Workout Room
You don’t have to use the corner in your bedroom or that small empty square of space in your dining room to workout. Instead, you can create a workout room down in your basement. Add a treadmill, elliptical, weights, yoga mat, and music, and you will have your own personal gym.
Playroom
Your children’s toys might seem to always be underfoot upstairs and we are pretty sure that you have stepped on more than one thousand Lego pieces by now. Therefore, you may want to corral all those toys and Legos to a basement playroom. You can create multiple areas in this space, so that your children can rotate from dolls to the play kitchen to the reading corner. Numerous storage systems can also be utilized to make it simple for your children to return their toys to where they belong.
Library
If you haven’t made the switch to e-books yet or your book collection is getting out of hand, then you can turn your basement into a library. You can create sitting areas that are perfect for reading and intimate conversations. Of course, this space could then also be used to play cards or board games, plus to knit, crochet, or work on a cross stitch. Think of it as your own quiet oasis.
Wine Cellar
Any wine lover will tell you that their dream is to have their own wine cellar one day. If that is you, then that day can be today. Why not use at least some of the space in your basement to create a fantastic wine cellar for all your wine. We recommend that you make it a little larger than you think that you want it, just in case you find a phenomenal deal on wine one day.
