Remodeled basements are incredibly practical spaces. Creating an extra reception room, guest bedroom or just a place to hang out, they add a new dynamic to the home that is certainly invaluable. But what about the artists among you? How can a remodeled basement inspire your creativity, hone your talents and bring new-found success? Here’s how to create an artistic space with your remodeled basement.

For Writers

The writers among you will know all too well how difficult it is to sit down and focus amongst the buzz of activity in the home. Whether it’s noise from the kids or general chit-chat with the other half, writing requires a quiet space; one where you can shut out the humdrum and focus fully on the task at hand. Whether you’re a copywriter or novelist, a remodeled basement can be the perfect place to set your creativity free! Far removed from the rest of the home, it’s isolated enough to sculpt your own special working space, that no-one else can invade.

For Actors

Acting is a relentless career choice - one that requires a whole lot of focus, dedication and drive to succeed. To help you out, a remodeled basement can provide the space you need - whether that’s running through lines, recording mock performances or practicing scenes with your actor buddies. Unlike the rest of the home, a newly remodeled basement can be totally dedicated to your acting - whether you’re a professional or an amateur. Incorporate a wide, open-plan space and a small kitchen so you can remain undisturbed for hours on end!

For Musicians

If you’re a musician, it can be tough to find time to practice your instrument in an environment where you can focus entirely. If your instrument of choice is particularly loud - perhaps you’re a drummer, trumpeter or trombonist - your practice sessions may be met with groans and complaints from the rest of the family as you interrupt their quiet time. A basement provides the perfect space to hone your musical talents - and why not soundproof your basement so you can truly unleash your inner rock god or operatic soprano!

For Artists

Fine art; abstract; sculpture - no matter what your specialism or hobby, art is a special kind of discipline - one where you need to ‘dig deep’ and find a quiet mental space to unleash your inner creativity. If you don’t have a spare room to adopt as your artistic space, a remodeled basement can become the ideal creative studio. Away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of your home, you can set up your easel, paints and brushes exactly as you like - with no need to tidy them away at the end of your creative session!

What about you? Are you artistically minded? Does the idea of a basement appeal?
