The basement is no longer that dark, barren, empty space downstairs. Today, it’s the bonus room – an extra space just waiting to be transformed into the coolest space in your home. It’s the one place where you can express yourself, without being concerned about how it coordinates with your home’s upstairs décor. From man cave, to entertainment center, wine cellar, gym, office, library, playroom or anything else you can dream up, basements are your canvas for creativity.

Whether you’re building a new home, or renovating the basement in an older home, you’ll find inspiration in these 30 ideas offered by Home Designing.

If you’re considering a new home in a Sal Paone Builder community, talk to us about your ideas. We’ll be happy to create a custom design that brings your vision to life beautifully!
