Home Sweet Home on a Basement: Bloggers Finish Their Basements
Every Friday during the month of November, I’m going to take you on a tour of budget-minded ideas for what I call “fun spaces” in our houses. Those fun spaces are the extra rooms like attics, bonus rooms, and basements that—if you have them—you can use purely for fun, recreation, and games! I know we aren’t all lucky enough to have them, but if you are, you may as well enjoy using them and using them well.
So today, let’s talk about basements. Basements are possibly the most versatile rooms in your home, with almost limitless potential uses. But they can be scary—and not just because of the funny banging sound you hear down there when the furnace comes on, or the creepy spider webs hanging from the rafters, or even because of the red shag carpet the original owners installed 40 years ago. I think there are two main things that intimidate homeowners about basements. First, it’s the size—unfinished basements can look like one giant room, and sometimes it’s hard to envision the possibilities of a space without walls. Second, unless you have egress windows, basements can be pretty dark, making it challenging to figure out how to decorate to compensate for all the shadows.
I’ve found some basements to share with you that were finished or renovated by bloggers, and because the transformations are so impressive, we’re going to take a look at how those makeovers started. I hope seeing how much the following basements changed will inspire you to think about similar spaces in your home more creatively.
