Winter Remodeling Project Ideas: the Basement

Winter Remodeling Project Ideas: the Basement

• Establish a mud room. Word is, mudrooms are the new thing for active families. They typically encompass a practical, second entrance where wet boots, umbrellas, and coats are deposited to dry off. Extra clutter such as an overflow of mail or laundry gets dropped off here as well, and families with dogs have a convenient place to let furry friends dry off. A mudroom can be sectioned off from the basement with a wall and door.
• Build a storage area or closet. As casual living spaces, basement often get stuck with all the clutter. If you don’t have space for a mudroom, section off a space to organize visually unappealing shoes, tools, or last year’s Christmas ornaments.
• Build a wine cellar.
• If your basement comprises a recently refinished living space, try opening it up to the rest of your home by removing the door. That way, there will be a more natural flow from the stairway or hallway to the basement entry.
• And if your basement walls aren’t insulted or aren’t isulated enough let us work on a solution that will save you energy and keep you comfortable.
