Basement Remodeling Consider These Basement Finishing Tips | Page 3

Making Your Basement Into an Entertaining Space  If you’ll be using the entertainment area to watch movies or sports games, it’s a good idea to install a mini bar or kitchenette in the basement. There are some elements of this that you can do yourself, such as finding the right materials for cabinets and finishing the surfaces of drawers, but it’s probably best to hire a contractor to handle this task for you. Depending on how large your basement is, you may want to include a refrigerator or sink that isn’t as large as the ones in your main kitchen, but you may still want these appliances to coordinate with the ones in your larger kitchen. Work with a construction professional to build shelves to hold food or quality beverages, or to have a microwave or small oven installed in the basement in a way that is safe and in keeping with the rest of the wiring in your house.
