Every family needs a place to spend time together. If you have a basement in your home that may be unfinished or unused space, you may consider turning it into a family room. There are many decisions you’ll have to make, but it’s a project that can be your own. Here are some renovation ideas to make your basement a more comfortable family space, from Seven Pillars Custom Building in Edmonton.
Built-in cabinets or entertainment units
There are many creative basement features you can add to your home. Built-in cabinets or other features can easily give you more storage, while also adding to the look of the space. A common built-in idea is a place for the television or bookcases, but it doesn’t have to stop there. When it comes to shelving or cabinetry, having it custom will tailor-make it to your space, and give you the necessary amount of storage you want. Not only that, but you’ll be adding to the overall feeling of the space by removing clutter.
A fireplace
A fireplace will create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for your newly developed basements. Basement spaces can easily get cold, and including an extra heating source can be a good idea. It will give the space a welcoming and cozy ambiance, allowing you and your family to relax together in a warm, comfortable space.
For the kids: a designated play area
Toys like to be everywhere, all the time. Depending on the size of your home, a designated play area could be worth considering. This can be done in many ways. Having their own room downstairs is one, and this way you can decorate the space to their liking. Another thing to do is, tying in the built-ins, have designated bins for toys and belongings.
For the adults: a minibar
Like entertaining? Something to consider adding is a small kitchenette or a bar space. Having something smaller and more accessible in your basement space will not only tie the room together but give you more of an opportunity to communicate with family and friends. A minibar isn’t only a counter and a mini-fridge either. Explore with different shelving to showcase your drinks, mirrors, lighting, or add other creative decorations around to make the space usuable and enjoyable for every member of the family.
