Your plans for finishing a basement should take into account the use to which you wish to put the basement to, the water levels and dampness levels, the size of your basement and other factors. Basement remodeling plans also don’t have to be confined to merely using your basement as a single gym or home theater or den. If you have a large enough basement space, you can even consider partitioning your basement into many sections, and using each section for a different purpose. Your basement remodeling plans could now include a home gym, a den, a bar or entertainment center, a playroom etc. Instead of having one large space that a few family members can use at a time, you could choose to have a large partitioned space that’s used for many purposes. A basement remodeling design like this will allow for versatility, and can give you a multi use basement design that's much more space efficient.
If your Seattle, WA area basement finishing plans include converting the basement into a guest room or children’s playroom or other such area where there will be a lot of activity, consider installing a bathroom as part of the plan. This makes the basement more complete, and ensures convenience to all who use it. If you want to use it as an entertaining area for family and friends, consider adding a bar, and making space for a game room with a pool table etc. Always look to making the basement complete in convenience, and not just looks. Open up windows to let in more natural light, or use special lighting alcoves to have soothing lighting that’s not harsh and too bright. Open up the stairs -- you’ll have plenty of light coming in from above which makes for a brighter environment.

We have approximately 800 unfinished square feet in our basement. We are looking for estmiates... the ceilings are too low (it used to be an outdoor cellar), you have to duck your head under the doorway on your way down the stairs, we have 4 windows that need to be replaced (maybe make 2 of them egress windows, we would like to add a bedroom, a rec room and a bathroom down there, along with a storage space and possibly a laundry area. We also have a large crawl space around the perimeter. Our home is 100 years old, and we are looking to stay with the craftsman style of the home. Thanks.
