Showcase your basement finishing ideas

Inject your personality into your basement finishing ideas.
An open concept gives you more ‘canvass’ to work with, more space to showcase your personal flair, favourite furnishings or accessories. Those might include a fireplace, mini-bar or surround-sound stereo.

Are you a fitness buff? If so then maybe a home gym would be your ultimate personal installation. If that’s possible, think about notching the comfort level up further with a new 3-piece washroom accompaniment that features a combined shower/steam unit for your ultimate après-workout relaxation.

Use ceramic, mosaic tile or slate in a standard corner shower to turn an existing but basic 3-piece into a dream bathroom. For a very modern and elegant touch, add a bidet.

If you are planning a bar but always wanted a second kitchen too, why not combine them using a breakfast island, mini fridge and hanging cupboards. Put overhead lighting on a dimmer switch to create different moods depending upon whom you are entertaining.
