3 Finishing Tips for Your Basement!
After your house is built, the basement is often left without any finishing touches, this is due to it being out of sight and out of mind, however, this can be a problem as the basement will become the de-facto location for storing your old home movies, boxes of old paperwork, and other items that are not in use. So when you are ready to sell your house, you will find that the basement is often the most difficult room to sell.
To help increase the appeal of the basement and make it attractive for future buyers, here are some of the basement finishing tips and techniques you can try.
Adding a Vinyl Finished Floor
The basement floor is often carpeted and there is no reason to remove that in most cases, however, you can change the texture by simply replacing it. Vinyl flooring is a popular choice as it gives a modern, inexpensive, and easy-clean option that will highlight the beauty of your home’s hardwood flooring. It can be installed in the afternoon, is easy to maintain, and is not damaged by water.
Adding Showers and Tubs
Adding bathroom amenities such as a roll-in shower, and tub to your basement can increase the appeal and value of your property. Showers are popular in smaller spaces and are easy to install, which means you can create a more inviting area in your basement. And because the bathtub is already installed, it will make your basement feel cozier and more inviting.
Improving Lighting
Because that basement space is often dark, increasing the amount of natural light will make the space more inviting and attractively brighten up a previously dark room. DIY basement lighting, whether you install track lighting, or install wall fixtures is a quick, under-the-counter solution that will make your basement more inviting.
