Things to Consider When Finishing your Marshalltown Basement

If you are thinking about finishing your basement, two important considerations will determine the size and scope of the project.

1. How are You Planning to Use the Space?

This includes both the short-term and the long-term. It will likely be easier for you to complete the project all at once rather than adding rooms as an immediate need arises.

If you want only a small office or playroom, a partial basement remodel might be all you need.

However, if you want a larger entertainment area, possibly with multiple rooms, then you would need to finish all (or mostly all) of your basement.

Different uses also have different requirements. For instance, a bathroom would require access to water and sewer.

2. What Space is Available?

Different basements are different sizes, obviously, but there is more to it than that.

Often necessary, household appliances require basement space. It wouldn’t make much sense to design a beautiful living room with your furnace smack dab in the center of it.

If you intend to finish your basement, you will likely want to separate these appliances from the new living space.

Potential Additions to a Finished Basement

• Home Office: Create a space for work that is away from the hustle and bustle of your main living space
• Extra bedroom: While there may be additional requirements, such as an egress window, adding an extra bedroom to your home can accommodate a growing family and increase its resale value.
• Playroom: Do you need a place for kids to be, well, kids without toys ending up all over your main living areas? A basement toy room can be just the ticket.
• Open living space: Basements often stay cooler during the summer months and warmer in the winter. You can use this to your advantage to create a living area downstairs. Add a TV and some couches to relax. Want a pool table or crafting nook? Go ahead. A place to curl up and read a book in front of a gas fireplace? As long as there is a gas hookup and a place to vent it.
• Extra bathroom: If you are adding a bedroom or additional living space downstairs, it will be convenient to have a bathroom there, too. Adding an extra bathroom can also increase resale value.
• Gym: Want to install a home gym but don’t have the space on the main floors? A finished basement can be a perfect place to put one.
