Remodelling Your Basement
Your basement is one of the most flexible areas in the whole house. It’s ubiquitous in providing the foundation for your home, but can also be used for storage, hosting, as a bedroom/bathroom, gym; the list could go on and on. There is no set criterion for what the basement is used as or for, like say the kitchen, meaning whatever you desire can be molded through the development of your basement.
If your basement is not currently developed, why not utilize it to its full potential? Making the mistake of leaving your basement a barren wasteland that collects dust and old Christmas memorabilia is an unfortunate use of space and a plays a part in providing an underwhelming valuation of your home. Even if you currently sport a developed basement in your home, basement renovations today can make more out of your space than you ever thought probable.
The addition of a game room, theatre room or an exercise room is not out of the question if you have the space. Even if you just want a little extra capacity and increased traffic to your lower level, basement renovations can make that happen. Consider remodelling or renovating your lower level to bring it out of the dark ages and to realize the true value of a remastered basement.
Basement renovations can add more space to your home
Your basement many currently be used as the go-to place for storage of nostalgic and useless items, but that does not need to be the case any longer. Those items may be important to you and through renovating your basement, you can create a special storage area just for them! It is amazing how much spread out clutter you can fit into one small closet when your mind is put to the task. With the storage issue out of the way, it is now time to get to the fun stuff. Your new basement can be developed as the new perfect place to entertain guests and family for an extended visit (and it’s even more perfect if they like a little more privacy).
You can add a bedroom, bathroom, and any other kind of room to your basement without breaking the bank. If you already have a guest room and do not see the use in developing another one, great, get that imagination working and see where you end up. Don’t limit yourself, creating an awesome game room or elegant wet-bar may be easier and less expensive than you think.
If you have children, a playroom that’s far enough away to give you some peace and quiet but close enough to hear world war 3 break out is a perfect addition to the basement. Are you a fitness or movie buff?
Stop paying for a membership at the local gym and start getting your workouts done at home. Developing a room that can host your needed exercise equipment is entirely within reach. By renovating your basement, the possibilities truly are limitless.
Upgrading your basement can lead to energy savings
Aside from the many ways you can turn your dusty old basement into an awesome entertainment area, it can also be a money saver and money maker, something you may have not even considered. A great deal of people just assume that when they turn on the heat or air conditioning, the entire house will heat up or cool down – including the basement. Truth be told, your basement has a climate of its own that’s regulated by the temperature of the ground surrounding it. That old basement you are currently housing may be the perfect avenue for air to escape and the reason why all those heating bills are funky. The bills may not be an issue, but spending time in a room where a coat or blanket is constantly required is no fun. During a basement renovation, it is a simple project to get the basement re-insulated with proper foam and drywall. This will not only make the temperature of your lower floor more comfortable, but will also play a part in keeping your upper floors at a more constant temperature. You may really feel like splurging during your Reno, so why not make your basement the new warmest room in your home? With thermal tiles and an upgraded heating system that is not out of the possibilities.
Developing your basement can increase your resale value
Your basement is the adjustable area of your home. The top floors have a set floor plan that is either pricey or next to impossible to change. Adding on to the house above ground may give you a little more layaway, but it will often turn into a project that costs far more than it’s worth. By fixing up the basement, you have more freedom to do as you choose by altering an area that is already at your disposal. Any changes that you wished to have completed upstairs can simply be added below. If your family is not planning on living in your current house forever, selling your home with a completely remodeled and refinished basement will increase the total value of your home and will play a role in selling much quicker. Potential buyers love to walk into a home and see that what they already want in a basement is right there in front of them.
