Basement
The Ultimate Guide to Basement Finishing
November 20, 2023•By Mike Ross
Finishing your basement is one of the most cost-effective ways to add living space to your home.
Planning is Key
Decide on the primary function of the space. Is it a home theater, a gym, or a guest suite? This will dictate layout and lighting.
Moisture Control
Before putting up walls, ensure your basement is dry. Address any leaks or humidity issues first.
Lighting
Basements often lack natural light. Plan for a layered lighting scheme with recessed lights, sconces, and lamps to create a warm atmosphere.
