9 Ideas How to Transform Your Basement:

1. Underground Garage

The most common use of the basement is a parking area or garage. This is not just for residential dwellings but also for commercial buildings. If you want your ground level to be free from other amenities or preserve your green space to promote sustainability, your vehicles are best parked in the basement. In your parking lot or upper garage, your vehicles might be exposed to excessive hail, rain, snow which can lead to dents and scratches. Your vehicles will have added protection and security if they are parked in an underground basement parking lot. This will provide a high level of security against risks of break-in, impact, fire and accidents. Underground parking will also help alleviate the occurrence of street-related accidents due to parking with traffic congestion and slow traffic flow. In basement parking, you will also have greater access control of your vehicle due to its usual spacious nature and lesser traffic anxiety. With a remodel, your basement will be maximized and the ground level will have a lot more spaces for areas you want to prioritize with easy access.

2. Fitness Gym

When you want to keep up with your fitness routine any time of the day, transforming your basement to an underground gym at home is the perfect solution for you. It allows you to fit your fitness goals any time that suits you at the comfort of your home and without sacrificing the upper spaces of your home. This remodel idea will help you create an atmosphere that motivates you for private workout. Having your gym set in the basement will keep your fitness away from other areas of the house where you may be tempted to eat, sleep or do any activity that will not help you to workout. It will also be easier to control the temperature and lighting undergrounds. Create a fitness gym that is perfect for your everyday needs, start in the basement!

3. Family Game Room

A game room can be a space where you can bond with your family and friends through some indoor games. If your family loves games, you can convert your dull basement to an active game room where you can add billiards, ping-pong, table football or let the younger gamers play through virtual reality. You can create a cheerful cave that is uniquely for the leisure of your loved ones.

4. Movie Room

Reproduce your favorite movie theater experience and mood within your own home. Turn your basement into an audio-visual sanctuary for you or with family and friends. Take advantage of the basement’s serene surroundings to enjoy an ultimate movie experience any time of the day you want. Remodel your basement and you’ll need no movie ticket for a long time. Turn your boring basement at home into an ultimate entertaining space for movie lovers. Volume up your speakers and enjoy your undisturbed movie theater experience.

5. Bar

By having a basement bar, you’ll have a dedicated space for social gathering without exposing your personal kitchen or living room to your guests. By transforming your basement into a bar maximizes an under-utilized space and elevates the vibe of your home. Even a little solo drink for a quick chill-out and de-stressing in your own place makes it more relaxing. Add extra life to your basement by remodeling it into a bar that matches your style. Store up your favorite drinks and enjoy them any time of the day in your home.

6. Fireplace

Fireplace in your basement is a perfect cozy spot for you and your family. Whether gas, electric or wood burning, a fireplace may transform a boring basement to a place of warmth and comfort. Aside from the heat a fireplace offers, its ambience and design is a must-have in a vibrant home. Turn your basement into a place of common relaxation for the family.

7. Sauna

Having a sauna in your own home is becoming a trend these days. Sauna is a great way to relax and unwind at home after a long and tiring day at work. Sauna also has many health benefits such as improved circulation, detox of muscle tension and other stress-related problems. Your basement is a great place where you can install your sauna due to ample space and separates it from the main floor lay-out which makes it your own special place to de-stress.

8. Workspace

Basement offices are often preferred by professionals who require maximum concentration such as accountants, programmers, engineers, designers and many more. Basement is a great place that offers such serenity which enables you to focus on your professional tasks and achieve maximum productivity. Basement office also has a sense of confidentiality for closed-door meetings since it is separated from the main floor of your home. This also minimizes distractions from household chores and unnecessary activities from your living areas. Elevate your working space by choosing a more peaceful environment in your own basement.

9. Pantry

Pantry is like a secondary kitchen of your home. You can consider storing your extra beverages, supplies, kitchen utensils and appliances in your basement to free up space in your main kitchen on the upper floor. Keep your excess or unused kitchen essentials in your basement pantry to maintain a clutter-free kitchen. Avoid storing supplies that can be destroyed by moisture or heat such as electronics, flammables, artworks that you want to preserve. Make use of your space to its fullest.
