Do you have a basement just begging to be used? Don’t know what to do with it or where to start? Then your first step should be to call us to help get the ideas flowing. You will be surprised at the many uses that may be applied to a basement. The professionals here at Matrix Basement Systems, Inc. are available to discuss your ideas in detail so we can help you get the ball rolling.

A RENTAL APARTMENT OR ANNEX

If you need extra income, consider converting your basement into a fully contained apartment. While this may be a fairly expensive venture, with the right contractor doing the renovations, you will be able to create a comfortable living space in no time, and start earning income from it. 

If you prefer not to have strangers living in your basement, you can use the apartment as living quarters for older teens or guests who visit from time to time. Some people even convert their basement into an apartment for older parents who want to live at home, but as independently as possible. 

AN ENTERTAINMENT AREA

The options are many when it comes to remodeling a basement to become an entertainment area.  Depending on the height of the ceiling, the basement can be the place where social gatherings are held. If it is too small for the party, it can however be the area where the bar is maintained. Adding a big screen TV and surround sound is also worth exploring. 

A PLAYROOM OR GAME ROOM

This way, a basement can be converted into an ideal play area for children. The area can be outfitted so that it is safe for little ones to have fun without you having to worry about furniture getting damaged. Depending on the age of the children as well as the available space, you can also make the area into a game room with a pool table or other games.

Teens especially will appreciate having a room equipped with surround sound and electronic toys for the enjoyment of their favorite videogames. A professional with experience in renovating basements will be able to help design the perfect play area or game room for your family’s entertainment needs. 

A GYM

Consider converting your basement into a convenient home gym, and avoid paying for your gym membership. Talk to your contractor about the feasibility of doing this as not all basements have ceilings that are high enough for some types of gym equipment. 

LAUNDRY ROOM

If your basement is small and cannot comfortably be converted into living space, turning it into a laundry room is worthwhile. Creative use of shelving and vertical space can make it convenient for storing tools or other occasionally-needed items.

Transforming your basement from just storage for unused items is a great way to add value to your home.
