Finishing or remodeling your basement is an excellent way to add not
only enjoyment and entertainment, but value to your house. Homeowners often use their
finished basement for a recreation
or game room complete with bar and mini-kitchen, a party room, an extra
bedroom and bathroom, full handicap accessible apartment, home office, studio or a combination of
areas. To add maximum livability and value, you need to take advantage
of as much natural light as available and use abundant spotlights and
progressive lighting fixtures to avoid dark corners. Whenever possible,
finish your basement with the same ceiling height and wood trim packages
as the rest of your home. If you have heavy crown molding, luxurious
deep baseboards, wide door casings with rosettes, traditional style
wainscoting, columns and an abundance of built in cabinets and bookcases
upstairs, do the basement the same way. A basement finished in that
manner looks like an extension of your home, not the finished
"basement". If and when it is time to sell your home, a basement
finished with all the bells and whistles will create marketability above
the other homes for sale in your area.
