Are you looking to add value to your property, make the most of your space, and give yourself the opportunity to fully enjoy your home more than ever before?

If you’re considering an upcoming basement reno and are wondering how to make the most of your investment, below are a few top options to keep in mind. Read on to learn more!

Get Creative

One of the best things about renovating your basement is that there’s truly no shortage of options at hand as you make your changes. In addition to the added benefits of increasing the overall warmth and insulation of your home, basements give you the perfect opportunity to build the space you’ve always wanted. From creating a home office or dedicated hobby area to a personal fitness centre, play area for the kids, and everything in between, finishing the basement is the best way to make the most of your space.

High-value changes that can take your renovation to the next level include:

Flooring

Cement floors may be tough but they offer very little in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Outfitting your basement with new flooring is one of the best ways to instantly transform the lower level of your house and make it feel more welcoming. Luxury vinyl tile, carpet, and hardwood are just a few of the many options available!

Adding a Bathroom

While adding plumbing into your basement can be a challenge and cost a little more upfront, extra bathrooms do go a long way towards increasing your comfort in the home, as well as boosting your overall property value. Bear in mind that adding a bathroom may not be an option depending on your current plumbing situation, but if your existing structure allows for it, partnering with a talented team like Peak can make it easy to pull off this kind of addition with ease!

Adding A Bedroom

When we talk about adding a lower-level bedroom, it’s important to make a distinction between two different factors. One is simply adding a bedroom as an extra room for guests or a family member, and the other would be creating a legal secondary suite. While both have specific guidelines that they need to adhere to in order to make sure the room is safe and easy to exit in case of a fire, the renovations associated with creating a legal secondary suite are much more extensive. Adding in another bedroom that’s simply there for use as needed, however, can be a great way to make your visitors feel more welcome, or even give your teen a more private space to call their own.

Home Offices

With the work from home movement growing stronger than ever, building a beautiful and private workspace in your basement has become a fantastic new way to revitalize an underutilized space and bring value. Consider the basement your perfect spot to get away from everything and put your boss hat on, now let’s get down to business!
