Basements are available in various designs, sizes, and shapes, from walk-out and daylight basements with exterior windows and doors to underground cellars and basements. If you get left with a basement that gets not finished, it is losing space under your feet! Your cellar isn’t required to be a dark, dim space in the soil. You’re happy to lounge and relax with just a little effort to make it an open, welcoming, and wonderful area.
Add Some Fun Design Elements
Create your basement as part of the home’s design style. Your basement shouldn’t be a drab, overlooked room in your home renovation project. It doesn’t matter if it’s feminine and cozy and dark to watch a movie or for your family and friends to relax. The basement does not need to be a storage area for old electronic equipment and furniture handed down from the past.
We enjoy this mantle and fireplace from a recent project in Ottawa. It brings brightness to even the darkest of rooms. Suppose the natural light in a room isn’t abundant such as for many basement components and canned lighting. That doesn’t require much space and can make any basement shine, especially when paired with beautiful tile work!
Get Creative with Storage
Eliminating clutter is among the best ways for homeowners to make their basements more inviting.
Suppose your basement serves as a playground for your children, office space for working at home, a perfect spot for movie nights, or a more general living space. In that case, it’s easy to make a mess and then leave it because the basement is not visible to the other rooms in the house. Regardless of what you intend to do with your basement, please clear it of clutter and create dedicated storage areas to keep it organized.
Suppose you get limited space inside your basement and search for innovative ways to store your toys, blankets, electronic equipment, and many more! We love how the team in the Wheathshef project made the most of a commonly neglected space in many incomplete basements beneath the stairs!
Take Note of Your Basement’s Entryway
Suppose you’re proud of the finished basement and do not feel you need to conceal it from your guests. Many homes in Ottawa communities have unfinished basements separated from the remainder of the house by closed doors. In that case, you’ll surely want to beautify the entryway to your basement.
Don’t be afraid to show off your gorgeous basement! Design a stunning staircase in line with the style of your home’s other rooms to carry your style throughout the floor. An open and spacious staircase can make your basement feel more like a part of your home and less like an added expense. It is essential to ensure sufficient lighting around and in halls, stairs, or entryways because you might not be able to count on natural lighting.
