Basement Renovation Tips

Basement's used to be that extra space in a house where items were put out of sight & out of mind. Their main function was for storage; items from your past, things you haven't use for years but await the day you may need them etc. There is a growing trend in the usefulness of basements these days and the following are just a few ways you can change that drab space into something more functional and much more aesthetic.

 Create your own at-home 'Dream Spa' with a therapeutic steam system, lounge area & mood lighting. All inspired by the warmth of nature; naturally.

 Tune in to some family bonding with a play room for the mini-you's in your family. Add some color with creative storage places for arts, crafts & board games. Large open areas are a timeless choice for when kids start taking interests in boxing & dancing.

 Or, if it suits you, tune-in to technology and other people's lives with a media room you can really sink into. With the influx of technology in our day to day lives, no one could blame you if you want to dedicate a whole room or entire basement to it.

 Possibilities are truly endless when it comes to this undervalued space. My advice? Find what you love and dedicate a good portion of the area at the bottom of those stairs to it.
