Tired of that unfinished basement being the shameful secret of your otherwise picture-perfect home? Looking for a way to maximize resell value while adding an element to your house that will improve your life at the same time? Whether you DIY or hire a remodeling contractor in San Antonio, here are five great ideas for putting that ordinary basement to good use.
. Home gym – looking to get in shape this new year? Look no further than your own basement! With some padded flooring, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a TV for distraction, and equipment such as a treadmill, free weights, or yoga accessories, your basement can quickly be turned into the home gym you’ve always wanted! No more beating the January cold just to make it to your local community center. Work out in the comfort of your own home!
. Home office – working from home but finding it difficult to get anything done on the main floor? Turn that unused basement into a home office. Move a desk, your computer and accessories downstairs, and maybe even make your own phone line. You’ll be getting your work done in no time! A remodeling contractor in San Antonio may have some other great ideas of how to spruce your home office up.
. Play room – kids always shouting and waking the baby up? Turn your basement into their very own party palace! Beanbag chairs, toy bins, art supplies . . . the possibilities are endless! And why not jump on the blackboard paint bandwagon and turn your walls into potential canvases for the little ones to go wild on? Problem solved!
. Studio – are you an artist or the crafty type? A basement can be a great home studio for painting, sculpting, beadwork, and more! By getting away from your daily distractions and setting a dedicated space for your work, you’ll be dishing out new pieces faster than you can say “basement finished!”
. Mother-in-law suite – Do you have family members come visit or take care of the kids, or even think about moving in? A basement is a great place to use as an extra bedroom suite, especially if there is a water hookup already in place! The possibilities are endless when it comes to turning your basement into a mother-in-law suite, and the bonus is you will always have that extra space for guests!
