Unfinished basements too often become a catchall for unwanted furniture items, tools, and 
whatever other miscellaneous items that can’t be stowed away in the obligatory junk drawer. While storage space is imperative, extra living and entertaining areas will enhance the value of your home – both personally and from a resale standpoint.
Here are a few of our basement remodeling tips here at C.C. Dietz:
- Avoid Drop Ceilings: Not only will they close in your space, but they prevent it from looking consistent with the rest of your house, and take away from the overall upgraded look of your basement.
- Enhance Storage: Since your basement will no longer be the unfinished gathering ground for your hodgepodge collection of out-of-use pieces, it’s a good idea to remember to incorporate plenty of built-ins and shelving so as to create a sophisticated, organized way to store what needs to be left in the basement.
- Inviting Flooring: Create a division between separate spaces in your basement with different types of flooring to act as transition from one area to another. Consider placing tile under foot in a bar area – this will prevent you from having to work too hard to clean up spills and stains – and carpet for the main living area to create an inviting space.
Be sure that in the process of approaching your basement remodel, you carefully consider how you’d like to use the space, and consult with a professional remodeling company like C.C. Dietz to help you make your vision of the underutilized area of your home become a reality.
