Setting up your basement as an entertainment hub is a perfect addition for extroverts and introverts alike. Parents are able to use the basement to keep kids occupied and give them some quiet time. Or you can meet with family and friends for the next big game. Either way, the flexibility and usability of home theaters make them a great addition to your home. Add a gas fireplace for extra coziness! The open space required for the area is desirable during resale and can be repurposed easily. Consider other additions such as a bar or bathroom to increase the versatility of your entertainment space.
A basement bar remodel is a great addition for those who love to entertain guests. The bar will need the plumbing connected, which will add a little extra to the budget. Take into consideration the appliances you’ll want for your home bar. A wet bar will be more expensive than a dry bar, but is having built-in water can be more convenient. Space is another factor to consider. Home bars are heavily customizable and can add more personality to your basement.

Building a bedroom in your basement is very practical, especially if you have guests or a growing family. Bedrooms do not have to take up lots of space and can increase the return on investment on your basement remodel. Things to consider when building your basement bedroom include furniture, moisture management, and locating it away from areas that create lots of noise such as the utility room. Make sure to consider the requirements to bring these extra living spaces up to code. You may need an egress window to complete your project.
For fitness-minded individuals, a home gym can be a godsend saving you money and time. Home gyms can have fairly specific requirements. If you are building a home gym, you will want hardwood or tile floors instead of carpet. Having your gym in a closed-off area is ideal if other people are using the basement. If you have specific home gym equipment in mind, make sure there is enough space to safely use it or account for any mounting points for operation. Basement gyms can be pretty compact if designed correctly. If you are looking for ideas on what your home gym could look like, check out some of our basement gym remodels.
Adding a bathroom to a basement is almost necessary if you want to spend time in your basement or add a more permanent living space like a bedroom. The cost of adding a basement bathroom is well worth it considering the value it adds to your home. Bathrooms don’t take up lots of space and will easily fit into your floor plan. Most newer homes come with plumbing for an additional bathroom already stubbed, making this an easy addition to your plans. For those with a blank slate, it can take a little more time to choose the location and add plumbing.
Work from home is here to stay and with this many are in need of a place to work in their home. Basements can make a great location for this newly needed space. Offices generally do not need a lot of specific renovations and can be repurposed easily. An important factor to consider when building a home office is natural lighting. With the amount of time spent in these spaces during the day, natural lighting helps improve mood and productivity. If you are having people or family members in your basement often, consider creating a separate room for your office. There are options available to help insulate against that extra noise a family can create during the day.
