#1 CREATE MORE SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING

With any basement remodel, deciding on the purpose for your new space will help you get the most out of the finished product. Additional entertainment space is one of the biggest reasons homeowners opt to finish a basement. Consider adding another living room, wet bar and cooking area, or even a game room to give your guests more options to spread out and enjoy themselves.

#2 DESIGN YOUR BASEMENT FOR YOU

make sure your basement remodel reflects your family’s needs and style. You’ll be the one living with it, after all. Choose design inspiration and additions to the space that you’ll actually enjoy and appreciate.

#3 LET LIGHT INTO YOUR BASEMENT DESIGN

No more dark and gloomy basements. Natural light makes spaces in your home feel more inviting and also curbs energy usage. Bring more light into your basement remodel by adding windows. Egress windows are particularly desirable. When installed properly, they contribute to your home's livable space, enabling you to count the space as another bedroom or just more finished square footage. If you have a walkout basement, consider adding full-length windows and glass doors to let in as much natural light as possible.
