When homeowners use their basement only as a laundry room or storage area, they’re missing out on a versatile space that can easily meet a variety of needs. If your own basement isn’t being put to good use, consider having it renovated by one of the area’s premier home remodeling contractors, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes. Check out some of our favorite basement remodeling ideas here!

1. Open the space up. An open layout remains a popular trend in current home design. Integrating this idea into your basement remodel can make a world of difference. The open concept helps you get the most of the naturally expansive nature of the basement, creating a barrier-free space that allows you to move easily from one area to another. 
2. Build a home theatre. The basement is the perfect spot for a media room. You can either go for an open TV space or something more elaborate, like a theatre room. The latter includes features typically found at a cinema: plush reclining seats, enclosed walls, LED floor lighting, surround sound and a projection screen that makes a Netflix binge a luxurious experience. 
3. Create guest suites. To comfortably accommodate guests, turn your basement into guest suites. You’ll be set once you put in a good-sized bed and closet, some comfortable furniture, plus a full bathroom. Have a senior parent or adult children moving in with you? The basement suite can give them the right amount of independence and privacy. Just make sure to adhere to local codes and put in a separate door to the outside.
4. Get fit with a home gym. Pandemic restrictions don’t mean you can’t stay fit and healthy. You should consider turning your basement into a home gym, complete with rack cage and bench press. In fact, you can take this to another level by adding a home spa — one with all the indulgences, including a steam shower and a sauna.
5. Stay productive with a home office. You can make working from home easier when you have a dedicated spot for projects and meetings. Remain focused and productive by setting up a comfortable and stylish workstation, painting the walls a light, relaxing color, and hooking the area up with a fast Internet connection.
