The room or basement family room, the underground area below the main floor, is an undiscovered treasure. While it might be at the end of the priorities list for the site’s renovation, it can be gold in the form functional area. It could be a rumpus room, rec.
You can find furniture, things of different kinds, laundry, storage space tools, and sporting equipment in many basements. I’ve said before that “the basement” is where old furniture goes to die.
A Family Room in the Basement Can Help to Fulfill the Wishlist
However, using all the square footage available in your house for living is logical. If you can create a fitness space that way, you’ll avoid paying for (and spending money on) an exercise facility. A large screen TV with comfortable seating will replace costly theatre tickets and courtside seating. What do you feel about a wine bar? Then why not. Bring your passion home and display it if it’s something you love. Basements are an ideal location to showcase your passions and interests.
Creating Zones
Sometimes it’s the gym or a media lounge. There is comfy seating for parties, a dining area with servers (secondary to the kitchen), and a great pool table. What is the best way to have all of it? Look at this newly renovated basement.
View-through Gym
Home gyms often get placed in the basement corner, but you can use them if you have the space. A separate TV and glass to create security make the gym appear part of the space yet remain distinct.
The Gathering Spot, the Media Zone
Media lounges get located on the big TV, so we put in Shaker cabinetry. Instead of white, we went with grey to keep it simple and comfortable. The shelves open for books and accessories aid in warming the space and make it more than just the TV.
The Game Zone
The addition of activities the entire family likes to do makes the basement an inviting place for families. Install favorite posters and enjoy playing pool.
