Bastements have been misused, and they can be of immense potential after remodelling. When well staged, they can be transformed into dark and neglected space to a multi purpose living areas that can bring a lot of value to a house. The idea is to present functionality, comfort, and versatility, and make the basement look like a part and parcel of the property.
One of the most significant staging elements is lighting. In basements, which are usually dark, layers of artificial lights, flushed into the ceiling, floor-lamps, and sconces on the wall can be used to make the basement look welcoming and cozy. Brighter colors on the walls and reflective surfaces will also assist to lighten up the space.
Furniture should have practical applications. An updated basement can be designed as a family entertainment area with a sectional couch, media unit and game table. Alternatively, it may be set as either a home gym, guest suite or home office depending on the target audience of the property. The trick is to stage with one or two distinct functions which are not too cluttered and disorganized.
Storage solutions will be attractive too. Inbuilt shelves, cabinets, storage benches show how the basement can be tidy and be used to serve various purposes. Rugs and cushions, as well as wall paintings are small features of soft decorations that ensure that the space does not look cold and incomplete.
The basements should be staged in a wise way so that the buyers will be able to envision what they can do with it as a living space and not as a utility space only.
Summary: The use of basements following renovation is the best way of maximizing the potential of the property. Renovating basements can be done with intelligent light system, visible work areas, and friendly decorations that will add value to the basements and make them livable to suit the modern lifestyle demands.
