6 Must-Haves for Your Basement Finish

Need more space but don’t want to move? Finish your basement! Find something for everyone and get the most out of your home with a custom basement finish. Tailor your space to fit your needs, with more room to entertain, work out, or watch your favorite movies. Here are some of our favorite recommendations to include in your basement finish.

Home Office

Use your home office as a space for focusing on work, finishing up homework, or dedicating time to your favorite hobby. Use a built-in desk and storage for maximized productivity and minimal clutter.

Bonus: Add a corkboard wall to display your favorite notes, photos, and reminders without cluttering your workspace.

Living Room

With built-in storage and room for multiple screens, this space is the ultimate retreat for gamers and sports lovers alike. Use open shelving and accent lighting to showcase your favorite memorabilia or cabinets and drawers to store games, controllers, and more. Add a large sectional for plenty of seating to relax on your own or entertain guests.

Bonus: Use your ceiling to add personality with a custom trim design or paint wooden beams to match your cabinets.

Home Theater

Pop some popcorn and enjoy the magic of the movies from the comfort of your own home! Craft the perfect home theater system with a projector screen, surround sound, and access to all of your favorite movies and TV shows. Select from various home theater options to find the best package for you.

Bonus: Use dimmable accent lighting and tiered seating to really level up the ambiance for your next movie night.

Home Bar

Perfect for kids to grab a snack or for adults to indulge in their favorite beverages, a home bar offers the space to entertain and serve yourself and your guests with ease. Opt for open shelving to display your favorite drinkware and spirits or use closed cabinets to store additional glasses or snacks.

Bonus: With seating behind the sofa and a passthrough window to the home theater, you can customize your home bar to serve all of your entertaining areas at once!

Workout Room

Break a sweat and hit the showers without the commute! Whatever your preferred workout, a home gym can be an easy, convenient solution to getting your heart rate up without leaving the house. A custom home gym offers the ideal space to pump muscles or find your center.

Bonus: Add a mirrored wall or padded floor to optimize your home gym for your favorite workouts.

Kids’ Playroom

Use the space under the stairs to create a small playroom for your little ones or a cozy home for your furry friends. Think outside of the box to use the space you have and get the most out of your basement finish.

Bonus: Consider installing electrical wiring if you’re interested in adding a small TV or light switches and outlets for lamps or overhead lighting.

5 Ways to Renew Your Home in the New Year

With every new year, goals are set for losing weight, changing jobs, saving money, or personal improvement. But, what about your home? Setting goals for your home improvement can have lasting effects throughout the year, without breaking the bank.

Here are five ways you can renew your living space this year.

Add a Rug

Adding a rug can be a great, simple way to bring color or texture into a space. Be sure to measure your space to find the best size. Pro tip: Rugs can be used in hardwood, tile, and carpeted spaces!

Reduce Clutter

Clean out any unused or unwanted items from your closet, pantry, and storage. Keep anything of sentimental or historical value and donate the rest. Clearing out space in your home can also open space for new items, opportunities, and experiences in other areas of your life.

Light Up Your Space

Adding lamps and overhead lighting to your space can improve your mood and the overall energy of a room. Try switching out one lamp for another or opting for a different bulb to create a different atmosphere. One light can make a huge difference!

Switch Up Your Style

Choose an eye-catching piece of art or home decor to add a revived sense of style to your space. Switch out the items on your bookshelves or play with the artwork above your mantel. Have fun and don’t be afraid to try something new!

Finish Your Basement

So much room for activities! Add a built-in bar, a workout room, a home theater, or a game room to make the most of your home. The possibilities are endless! Let’s build the basement of your dreams. Call us today to get started (913) 220-7477!

How to Work From Home

While the pandemic continues, we find ourselves in an unprecedented time as parents adjust to working from home and kids begin virtual learning. With families spending more time at home than ever, it can be hard to balance everything going on inside and outside of the house. Here are a few tips to help with working from home.

Designate a Workspace
A Home Office can be the perfect space to work from home. If a separate room isn’t available, designating a table or desk can suffice – even a seat at your Dining table! As long as you have everything you need to focus and successfully perform what’s needed, this space can be completely yours. Designating this space strictly for work also helps to maintain a better separation between work life and home life. If possible, find spaces that are specific to each individual so everyone can work as they need to without distraction.

Stick to a Routine
Planning out a schedule that works for you and your family can be a key part in making the best of this situation. Keep in mind that although your surroundings have changed, certain duties may still need to be fulfilled. Maintaining those consistencies can help to make this transition easier for everyone. Designate set hours for work and school so everyone knows what is to be expected each day.

Stay Organized
While it may be more easily said than done, staying organized should be a top priority when working from home. Find what works best for you in keeping your thoughts together. Whether it be Post-Its, a whiteboard, to-do lists, or whatever it may be, embrace all of the tools you can to keep everything running smoothly. Disorganization can add to the chaos and cause additional stress, and nobody needs that.

Remember to Take a Break
When people begin working from home, they find it difficult to differentiate a work/life balance and can often work overtime without realizing it. This can eventually lead to burnout, which can be detrimental to your health and work performance. Talk with your boss or child’s teacher to find how breaks can be taken throughout the day. Are you given a time for lunch? Can you leave the home if you need to run an errand? These things are important to discuss as you settle into working from home. Without the necessity of a commute, it’s easier to find yourself working longer hours. Just remember it is still okay to take 15 minute breaks for a quick walk or to grab a drink or even use the restroom.

You Can Do This
We know it’s been said several times before – “We’re in this together!” – but, we really are. We are all living in an unprecedented time with more of us working from home than ever before. While it may seem overwhelming at times, just remind yourself to take a deep breath and keep pressing forward towards another day. Working from home can be a big adjustment, especially as our children join us with virtual learning. Each family is different so everyone may need to adjust differently. Reach out to any resources you can to find the answers and solutions that work best for you and your family.
