If you're a movie buff or sports fanatic, having a custom theater room could be just what you need. You can enjoy it alone or invite some friends and family over to host a private screening. Whichever you prefer, a home theater is a perfect space for either one. Comfy reclining chairs are a popular choice for seating as you can see in the picture above. This client opted for a more simple home cinema, but there are countless ways to customize it to fit your needs. For example, we could install cabinetry on the sides of the screen to give you storage space and hide the wiring or we could put ceiling and wall scone lights on different switches so you have the ability to turn the brighter lights off while you watch.
Having a wet bar in your basement is an ideal way to entertain guests, family, and friends. It's a fantastic gathering place for celebrations and holiday get-togethers. With a wet bar, you can easily mix drinks and cocktails without having to go upstairs to the kitchen. You can also add a mini refrigerator and other storage options to have everything you need right at your fingertips. Moreover, you can easily add seating or other comfortable elements around the wet bar to create a cozy atmosphere. With the right accessories and decorations, your wet bar can be the perfect place to make lasting memories all within the comfort of your own home.
Rather than building extra rooms into your house, you can create more living areas within your unused basement space. If you host guests often, having additional bedrooms in your basement not only gives them a place to stay, but they'll be able to enjoy some privacy with their room being separate from the main parts of the house. A great advantage of having an extra bedroom in your basement is the potential for rental income. If you were to add a bedroom along with a bathroom and a kitchen to your basement, you could easily rent that space out to someone. Having a separate entrance for them that goes directly to the basement would make a rental situation even better.
A basement home gym provides you with a convenient space to work out whenever you want. You can exercise at any time of the day or night, without worrying about gym hours, waiting in line for equipment, or driving to and from the gym. On top of that, you can fully customize the equipment within the gym to fit your unique fitness needs. You could make it small and simple with just a cardio machine and some free weights or you could create a full training facility with cardio machines, weights, squat racks, punching bags, etc.
As we said above, adding a kitchen to your basement is a great way to create a complete rental space within your home when paired with a bedroom and bathroom. If you're not interested in renting out the space, a kitchen is still an ideal addition. Having a kitchen in your basement is great when you host parties as it allows you to host your guests in your entertainment space downstairs, separate from your personal living areas.
