Ideas for Finished Basements
Finishing a basement not only adds value to your home, but it also allows for a fun space where you can enjoy family or entertain friends.

When you're taking steps to finish a basement, the options are endless for how you might design the space. If you take the time to address your family's immediate needs, then you will create a space that perfectly suits your style.
Basement Media Room Makeover
See All PhotosIf your basement needs to multi-task then consider dividing it into two spaces. For example, one area may be a media room and the other a kids' play area. Another design would allow for a home gym, while the remainder could contain a bedroom and kitchenette for guests.
Remember that not all finished basements require a complete redesign. Sometimes simple additions, like a sectional couch can help to create a division within the room, allowing you to create a multi-functional space. Fresh paint colors, new lighting fixtures and warm area rugs also help to make a basement space look new without breaking your budget.
