A basement is a huge perk for homeowners, but unfortunately, it’s often a space that is closed off and not thought about enough. Most homeowners (especially if the basement is unfinished), just push the project off to the side and do not really make use of it. And I get it – unfinished basements feel dark and dingy, so at best, you might just use it as storage, or perhaps you’ve put a spare fridge or your washer and dryer down there. But finishing a basement opens up an entire world of possibility, not only giving you quite a bit more usable square footage in your house, but also upping your home’s value. While finishing your basement might be a big investment, it’s almost certainly one that’ll pay off. Check out some of these ways to make your basement more enjoyable, finished, or not:
Waterproofing
One thing that most people hate about a basement is that it always feels musty and damp. If this is the case, your basement probably has some issues with water. First of all, you want to make sure that you waterproof your basement because you do not want to run into mold issues down the road — trust me. Then, once you get that issue figured out, purchase a good dehumidifier. It is a quick fix and it will help keep your basement comfortable – especially during the summer months. It will not only help it feel better, but if you had (or have) bugs, it will help protect against them, as well.
Add in a pool table
What better way to make a basement more enjoyable than to add in games, such as a pool table, like this Olhausen Coronado Pool Table from Absolute Billiard Services? This one was handcrafted in TN and constructed of solid maple or oak. Plus, it is available in 35 different finishes and comes with all playing essentials, which includes four cues, bridge stick, wall-mounted cue rack, set of billiard balls, 8-ball and 9-ball racks. It also comes with a lifetime warranty! Absolute Billiard Services does not just sell pool tables, though.
