Playroom As A Basement Remodeling Idea

5 Basement Remodeling Ideas To Add Fun And Value To Your Home

Most basement remodeling plans focus on how to make the basement more functional. Fewer people think about how they can add fun and value to their basements.

If you're looking for basement remodeling ideas that will increase your living space and create a fun place for friends and family to hang out, this article is for you! We'll discuss five basement remodeling ideas that will make your life better and improve your home's value at the same time.

Create A Funky Playroom

If you want to be the envy of all the other playgroup parents, start in the basement. A basement playroom can be a great way to entertain your kids and give them a place of their own.

Go with something fun and unexpected.

A built-in slide, but not just any slide - make it a curly slide in a bright color. Think sunny yellow or another vibrant, kid-friendly hue.

Use every nook and cranny of the basement. Add a climbing wall, a craft table, and an area with big, comfy floor pillows.

Now you can invite the entire playgroup over when it's too cold to meet at the park!

Build A Wine Cellar

In 2020, Americans drank 872 million gallons of wine. If you're part of the vino crowd, why not build a wine cellar?

Basements can make a perfect location for a wine cellar. First, you've already got the space. Second, most basements have the ideal environment to keep wine at the right temperature.

You don't have to use every inch of the basement either - even an alcove is enough room for some shelves and a rack. Take the rest of the space and create an area where you can host wine tastings for friends.

Go To The Movies

Movie theaters in basements aren't a new concept. Elvis Presley created one in the basement at Graceland, but you don't have to be a celebrity to enjoy a box office hit at home.

A theater room can give you and your family hours of entertainment at the touch of a button! Make it stellar with recliners and surround sound. A popcorn machine and soda fountain add the finishing touch.

Time to host the next watch party!

The Cave

For the ultimate basement remodeling idea, build a man cave complete with a bar. Make it sleek and modern by lining an entire with shelving for bottles and glasses.

Add some stools to round out your seating arrangement, or put in an old-fashioned pub table that's perfect for poker night!

If you prefer to make the basement female-friendly, you can also go with a she-cave. Instead of a bar, use comfy couches. Add in extra lighting and maybe even an elegant chandelier for flair!

A Lower Level Game Room

Turn your basement into a game room by adding dart boards, foosball tables, and retro arcade games like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong Jr.

If you're not into gaming, the remodel can still be a hit! Replace the games with pool tables and add an area for cards and board games. You'll never have to go out - turn on some music and enjoy your fun basement space.
