DIY Tips for Remodeling
Your Basement

Built-in storage is also a great idea when you’re remodeling the
basement. Built-in shelves and designated areas for storage will help
to make the space neater without taking up too much space. If you
build shelves into the wall, you won’t have to use a bookshelf or
large dresser in the basement. Just remember not to add too much
storage space, since this could make the renovation project more
expensive and you may not get the return on investment that you
want if you sell your home in the future.
Finally, consider an open stairwell as part of your basement
renovation. This is a stylish and practical way to connect the
basement with the upper section of your home, and the stairwell lets
natural light into the basement, which can make the space more
welcoming and inviting. The stairwell is also a great idea if you are
turning the basement into another area to entertain family and
friends, such as an additional den or a space to have game night.
