One area of many homes which often gets overlooked for its potential is the finished basement. This spacious area is often left open and greatly unused, or only used for storage, despite the possibilities for increased living space in the home. With a little help from an experienced basement remodeling contractor, your basement can become the extra family room, play area or even the home office you always wanted. 

Finished Basement Remodel Ideas

Your basement can have the potential to add value to your home and add one or more new rooms to your living space. Depending on the size and layout of your basement, you may decide to dedicate the entire area to one type of space or create a few different rooms. Some ideas on how to use this extra space: 

• Home office – Create a quiet working space away from the rest of the home, with room to store all your files, computer equipment and books.
   
• Play room – Give your kids a place to play as loud as they want in their own level of the home. It could have a indoor jungle gym, a cozy TV area and a place for all their favorite toys.
   
• Family room – Make a spacious room for everyone in the family to enjoy time together. Add a small kitchen for snacks, comfy furniture, games and even a home theater system to make it the perfect place for family fun and relaxing.
   
• Extra bedrooms – Add an extra bedroom to give your teenager their own space or to have for guests. 

A professional basement remodeling contractor can help you make the most of your finished basement, adding more room and value to your home. Don’t let this area be neglected when there are so many ways to use that extra space.
