If your home is beginning to feel tight, it could be time to look into your basement for the extra area that your family demands. With the help of Ottawa Home Pros, you can turn your basement into a sanctuary of relaxation and productivity.
Our team of experienced engineers and builders has developed this list of room concepts to help you design the perfect bonus room for your basement.
Rustic Wine Cellar
Need unique bonus room ideas? More and more and more homeowners are opting to build wine cellars for a variety of reasons. A wine cellar can give your home a feeling of elegance that you think of as a mansion with an active life. It improves the worth and appeal of your property to potential buyers. It’s also an excellent method to entertain your guests.
Nothing gets conversations going more than discussing your wine collection from the past. Talk about convenience! A case of wine is much more cost-effective than buying individual bottles. The benefit is that you don’t be worried about being short of wine during unavoidable times.
Vintage-Look Bathroom
You’ll never regret having the bathroom you’ve always wanted to add to your basement. It doesn’t matter if someone uses it to start the day or as a place for guests to enjoy an intimate, comfortable space to unwind. Adding a bathroom can improve the value of your home and enhance your family’s overall quality of life.
You can opt for a classic design by installing a glass shower with tile floors that are neutral in color to create the ideal balance between brightness and airiness.
Laundry Room
It might be a great option to maximize storage space and improve the overall laundry experience to locate your laundry area in the unfinished basement. Your dryer and washer don’t have to be in a dark, unfinished basement. It can be bright and sunlight! Find a stackable washer and dryer to maximize the space available. You can also include shelves to allow for storage of laundry detergents as well as extra linens.
It is also possible to put a laundry tub to assist with complex messes and staining. You probably won’t hear your washing machine drums anywhere else in the home! The laundry room should be closed by closing its doorway to minimize noise.
Station for Drinks
Is anyone else having a party? One of the most pleasing possibilities is to go to your pub and have a beer after a long day at work. The kids are sleeping upstairs, and you and your friend are in your hand-crafted bar, with gorgeous glasses and perhaps an ice-hockey table to give the pub-like atmosphere. Here are some extra bar options for your home!
A bar or drinks station is an ideal option when you are planning to entertain guests and family. Also, this adds value to your house, especially when you plan to put it into a wet bar.
Play and Games Space
Rec rooms are an iconic basement addition. It’s a space that can be a place to escape the world by having a ping-pong table or billiards table, air dart board, hockey table, or other. It’s also a perfect storage space from the primary flooring for kids’ games and toys.
Customize your shelving to keep things tidy. If the boys or children visit, take them to your basement amusement and games area! It will ensure that your upstairs will be more tranquil.
Home Theatre
Let’s discuss basement entertainment ideas! Imagine having a sizeable cozy space where you can enjoy your favorite movies or TV shows or play your favorite video games. Include a comfortable seat and ensure the lighting is set to dimmers to alter the mood, the ideal experience for people who enjoy watching media.
Install the projector screen instead of television to create an immersive home theatre experience. You can use the build and incorporate other wiring options for surround sound when renovating.
Suites for Guests
It’s time to consider the possibility of a basement guest room seriously. Suppose it’s for your in-laws or guests from out of town. In that case, providing guests with an exclusive bedroom in your basement is always an excellent alternative. It is best to have an en suite bathroom to ensure maximum relaxation and to enjoy an all-inclusive spa or hotel experience.
Offering people upstairs can be great, but having space is also lovely. Additionally, having an additional room entirely separate from the main bathroom and bedroom in the basement provides another chance to rent rooms if you decide to do so.
