Did you know that a finished basement can increase the value of your property by up to 70%? Homeowners looking to buy a home prefer having a finished basement as it’s considered an additional living space. Some homeowners use their basements as rental units or additional storage space! If you’re fortunate enough to have a basement in your home, it can be used for a variety of purposes, from a playroom for your kids or a home office to creating additional living space.
Deciding how to renovate your basement can sometimes be overwhelming, especially if you don’t know where to start. Peak Improvements have been helping Edmontonian homeowners renovate their basements since 2007! So whether you’re looking to create a functional and comfortable space or add value to your home, Peak Improvements is here to help! In this blog, we’ll explore creative ideas for Edmonton basement renovations.
One Less Room To Fight Over
We’ve all experienced teens fighting over “their side” of the room! Why not create a basement bedroom that provides them with the space, privacy and comfort they’re looking for? Building an additional bedroom in the basement will also be a great space for extended family or friends staying over! Rather than cramming up family members in one room and taking over the living room couch, you can offer them their personal sleeping space!
Tip: Don’t forget to include enough space for bathroom renovations in your basement! You wouldn’t want family or guests climbing up the stairs in the middle of the night to visit the washroom!
Build an Additional Living Space
If your basement is big enough and you’re already considering building a bedroom and a bathroom, why not take it a step further and turn your basement into an studio suite? You can install a simple kitchenette with space-saving and updated appliances, a small island and a cozy living room! Whether you’re expecting guests to stay longer than a couple of weeks or you’re looking to rent the space, an additional apartment suite will be very beneficial in the long run.
Tip: If you’re looking to rent out your studio suite, make sure that you’ve obtained the correct permits for your legal secondary suite! With Peak Improvements, we’ll help you ensure that your secondary suite abides by the rules and requirements of the City of Edmonton.
It’s Workout Time!
Why pay a monthly subscription to a gym that you may or may not use when you can have your unique and personal gym at home? People often avoid working out at home due to limited space, but who can resist a fully equipped personal gym in their basement? You can create the gym of your choice with separate workout stations, an area for yoga and a carpet for warm-up and cool-down stretches!
