  3. Top Tips On How To Finish A Basement • People with basements in their homes don’t know how lucky they are! Never mind storing junk and boxes that won’t see the light of day for years on end, the basement is another room just waiting to be transformed into something special. • An office, a gym, a yoga studio, a wine cellar, a kid’s playroom, a pool room – anything is possible! • Here are some top tips on how to finish a basement, transform your living space and add thousands onto the price of the house.

  4. Movie Theatre It doesn’t matter how big a basement is, any space could be turned into a movie theatre for parties or watching the big sports game of the day with family and friends. Whether there is a smart TV with surround sound and reclining chairs, or a spare TV put up on the wall with a few bean bags or a couple of second-hand couches, a popcorn maker and a drinks fridge – you have a great basement movie theatre. The bells and whistles version could cost as much as $16,500, but starting out with the basics could be under $1,000.

  5. Gym The hardest part about going to the gym is getting out of the front door. But, if the gym is in the house then there is no excuse. A personal gym does not have to mean lots of expensive gym equipment. It could start out with a skipping rope, boxing gloves, a yoga mat and some dumb bells and build from there. Perhaps introduce a fridge with chilled water.

  6. Pool Room What a great place to relax after a hard day or to hang out with friends. Or brilliant for the tweens to impress their friends and stay off the streets and out of trouble. A pool table, dart board, an old couch and a beer fridge would work brilliantly in transforming a basement. Or with the space and the money, a fully stocked bar, stylish stools or bar chairs, a dark wood floor and photographs lining the wall will create a funky space for fun nights in.

  7. Play Room Say goodbye to tidying up the chaos of toys and games created by the kids several times a day in a bid to keep your house in a degree of order. Turn the basement into a playroom and no-one needs to see the madness. Line half of the basement floors with soft play mats for them to jump around and do sporty type games and activities safely when the weather is bad outside. Big and bright colour plastic boxes will look amazing and store the toys and games.

  8. Or line the walls with low level shelves for books and jigsaws and toys and games, so the kids can just help themselves to what they want to play with. Create book corner, with bookshelves and comfy seats or bean bags for chill time and reading. Set up a table and chairs for crafts and drawing.

  9. Wine Cellar A basement is just made for storing wine. But it is important that the environment is right for the job. It has to be cool and humid. If it is too dry in the basement then the cork will dry out and oxidize the wine. The temperature needs to be around 55 degrees, but any warmer and the wine ages faster. A glass walled wine room within your basement might be the best way to create a wine cellar that will store your precious wine collection safely. A wine room that works could increase the value of a house.

  10. Yoga Studio If you are using yoga mats, then what the floor is made of is not the most important factor, but it needs to be smooth. Vinyl is a good and cheap option or hardwood looks fantastic. Lighting is important for yoga and creating a peaceful environment can be done through soft lighting. It might be as simple as changing the type of light bulb you use or adding a dimmer switch to have proper control of the lighting. Installing a mirror would create the illusion of more space and help to improve yoga technique.

  11. Apartment or bedroom Airbnb is a great way to earn a little bit of extra money if there is space in the house and a basement apartment could be a perfect opportunity for a little holiday rental business. Or, transforming a basement into another bedroom or small self-contained apartment would help bring independence and privacy to older teenagers of college students wanting their own space.

  12. Office Working from home has become the new normal for so many people, but with the kids running around and other day to day distractions, it can be hard to work from home. The solution – a home office basement. This is a great way to shut the door and block out the disturbances and get a productive day’s work without the commute, office politics and stressful work environment. An office can be decked out as expensive or as budget basic as you need to. Or you could even split the room into a part office and part spare bedroom for guests when they come and stay over.
