Basement Remodeling Ideas For 2022
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been talking about home remodeling trends for the new year and specifically ones related to kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling. While those are the remodeling projects most homeowners are leaning towards in 2022, we wanted to discuss a space that while may not be an area you might typically consider, if renovated could really add to your family’s enjoyment and your property value!
Get inspired with these trending basement remodeling ideas
Open concept rooms that are family-friendly and serve multiple purposes
Instead of dividing your basement into multiple rooms, why not create an open concept layout that encourages family and friends to gather together. Even with this type of layout, you can create areas within the open space for playing pool, grabbing a drink at the bar, or watching a movie in theater style seating.
Focus on fitness goals with an in-home gym in the basement
Want to get fit this year but in the comfort of your own home? Whether you don’t want to hear the lunks grunting their way through an exhausting weight lifting session or you’d prefer to work out in a place where the cleanliness and attention to hygiene is controlled by yours truly, we propose transforming an area of your basement into a home gym. A quick search on the internet will provide you with plenty of inspiration from the industrialized gym to a more modern, all white aesthetic, and so much more. A couple of things to consider when planning out a home gym include:
Non-slip flooring that can cushion your fall should you slip while getting a workout in and that is able to withstand weights falling and equipment being moved around.
A color palette that either motivates you to keep going even though your legs say otherwise, that promotes serenity and calm, or helps you achieve the mood you need for a good sweat session at home.
Storage options that can hold bulky weights, towels, and other gym gear
A bathroom in or near the gym so you don’t have to worry about being sidetracked if you have to visit the facilities upstairs.
Make a designated kid-friendly room
Basements are a great location for playrooms for a few reasons.
The separate space provides a buffer from the noise that comes with children having a great time.
You don’t have to see the mess in your living room.
You can pick out colors and select décor for the kid-zone that promotes play, withstand stains, and doesn’t take away from the rest of the house’s vibe.
Home office that limits distractions
While better work-life balance is the main reason why people choose to work remotely, it can be distracting and even challenging. Fielding phone calls, conducting Zoom meetings, and just thinking about a project can be hard if your desk is set up in a high traffic area. That’s why we submit for your consideration, building out a designated home office space in your basement. This trending remodeling project affords homeowners the luxury of privacy and quiet and provides a place that is separate from the rest of the house. Rather than a 45 minute or longer commute on I-65 or via 280, or (insert your route here), you can wake up each morning and enjoy time with your family before heading to the office only steps away.
