Renovating a basement is a great way to maximize your home’s space as well as increase your property value. Your basement renovation can recoup close to 75% of its value!

But, if you don’t require the ordinary bedroom or family room addition that many homeowners complete for their basement, and want to have a little fun, we have some other, more out-of-the-box ideas for you.

Sports Bar

Have a sports lover in your family? Why not transform your unfinished basement into the best sports bar in town?

You’ll want to have all the sports bar essentials like a big screen tv, surround sound, and a small kitchen area to prepare your game time snacks and store your drink of choice.

 Of course, you need the actual bar space, complete with a sink, refrigeration, and nice cabinetry to store your glassware. We can design and build a beautiful, custom bar that will put the finishing touch on your basement watering hole.

Decked Out Cinema Room

Make your family movie nights the highlight of the week by having us turn your big, empty basement into a decked-out cinema room. Basements make great movie rooms since they usually have large, open spaces and few windows to let in unwanted light.

 We’ll do everything from the acoustic work to the lighting to make your basement movie theater more comfortable than your local cinema. We can work out other details like installing big, comfy seats, painting the room a dark color, and installing resilient carpeting that absorbs sound and stands up to popcorn and soda spills.

Yoga Studio

Exercise is so important for your physical and mental health. If you don’t like the idea of going to a crowded gym, you can create a yoga studio or workout space of your own in your basement.

 Yoga studios tend to be sparse and don’t require a lot of built-in equipment, so the focus would need to be on the lighting in the room. Since most basements don’t have much natural light, we could install dimmable overhead lighting.

 Your flooring will also need to be redone, so we could install wood floors that give your new yoga studio a soothing, natural feel.

 You’ll also want full-length mirrors so you can check out your form. Painting the room a lovely, serene color is another crucial part of your yoga studio.

 Suppose yoga isn’t your exercise of choice. In that case, we could easily convert the basement into a home gym by installing a rubberized floor, full-length mirrors, a sound system to play your workout playlist and strategically place your exercise machines of choice.

Tiki Bar

A fun, out-of-the-ordinary option for your basement remodel would be installing a tiki bar. We could paint the room a moody, dark color and install a combination of dimmable and colored lights.

 We could help you find large wooden carved tikis to be a focal point of your bar, along with island-themed seating for you and your friends to hang out and relax.

 You’ll want to display all of your finest liquors on some customized wooden shelves above the bar. You’ll also need a sink or dishwasher to make cleanup easy. 

 Whatever your vision is for your basement remodel, we are here to help!
