This time of year, most people are starting to look toward
the start of the new year. And with the new year comes new basement
remodeling trends. Many Burnsville homeowners are already looking into
remodeling their basements. Here are a few 2015 basement remodeling trends
we’re seeing.
More Living Space
If you think about it, basements are some of the most
under-used space in your home, but they are one of the easiest parts of your
home to remodel. There is already a foundation, a ceiling and walls, so you
don’t have to worry about having any of that added. Adding an extra bedroom or
in-law suite is easy, especially as many Baby Boomers are coming into their
golden years. It’s nice to have a place for Mom and Dad to stay when they come
to visit you and the grandkids!
More Fun
Having a spot to entertain in is pretty important for most
families. That’s why basement remodeling is such a great idea. You can have a
basement bar, home theater or play room added. You can have guests over as
often as you want, or you can just kick back with your family and spend some
quality time together. You won’t have to worry about driving, parking or
spending money if you have a nice area like this in your home.
More Storage
You can have bookshelves or cabinets built into the walls
during the basement remodeling process. That way, you don’t have to waste space
having ones that are separate from the walls. They can be flush with the walls
and you get all of the perks of having the extra storage space as well as the
extra floor space.
More Function
If you want your new basement to have more than one
function, that’s a basement remodeling trend for next year also. You could have
a bar area and wine cellar for the adults, a play room for the kids down in
your basement and a home theater for everyone to enjoy. That way, you get the
best of all worlds! (And if you are a movie buff, having a home theater room is
a huge perk.)
These are just a few of the best 2015 basement remodeling
trends we’ve been seeing!
