A finished basement is a hot commodity. That extra living space can go towards a lot of things, primarily your home\u2019s value. So, what to do with all that extra square footage?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bar Area<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Bars are the go-to addition in basement renovations. They double as an entertainment space and source. Why go out to the bar for drinks when you can just go downstairs?<\/p>\n

    Contemporary and modern styles are becoming more prevalent, but pub style is the classic look. There\u2019s an unspoken rule that basements are allowed to adopt cozier, darker design styles.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Home Theatre<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Bars aren\u2019t the only entertainment feature to add to your basement. Home theatres are another big trend in renovations. Instead of your average television set up, look into a drop-down projection screen and large reclining, theatre chairs. While you\u2019re at it, throw in a popcorn machine.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Exercise Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Focusing on your fitness is another direction you could take things. That extra space could be filled with weights and equipment, or even a yoga studio.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Wellness\/Spa Area<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          While you\u2019re focusing on renovations for the betterment of your body, consider wellness or spa options. Installing something like a steam room, sauna or luxurious full bathroom in the basement gives you a special retreat in your home.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Wine Cellar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            For the wine connoisseurs, or Italians, a wine cellar works perfectly in the basement. Basements are a great environment to set up the conditions needed for a wine cellar.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Play Area<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              We can\u2019t give all the fun to the adults. Turning your basement into a play area for your kids, whether they be toddlers to teens, leaves the upstairs for the parents to entertain.<\/p>\n

              These are just some of the biggest trends for basement remodels, but the possibilities are endless. This is the place where you don\u2019t need to focus on purpose; you can focus on fun.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_separator color=”#ef4c23″ type=”normal” thickness=”4px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Blog Recommendations” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Recommended Posts:<\/p>\n
