\u00a0An area for crafting? \u00a0An art studio? \u00a0A business space? \u00a0A TV room? \u00a0Don&#8217;t limit yourself. \u00a0Carefully consider what you want, and dream up different layouts.<\/p>\n<p>Start with rough sketches, and try to think well into the future. \u00a0If you&#8217;re making a playroom for your kids, understand that they may not be into Dora the Explorer 10 years from now. \u00a0Clever uses of unusual spaces can add great character to a house. \u00a0Think creatively, and have fun.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. \u00a0Check the Code<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Check with your local municipality, and make sure you (or your builder) understand the building codes. \u00a0This is especially important if you plan to run electricity or plumbing to the area. \u00a0The last thing you want is unsafe or unsanctioned construction&#8230; that leads to massive headaches down the road.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2472\" src=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-5-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Finish Your Basement 5\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>4. \u00a0Have Great Lighting<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Basements usually have poor natural lighting. \u00a0Most have few (if any) windows, and whatever is there is typically small. \u00a0As you finish your basement, make your space feel warm and inviting.<\/p>\n<p>Quality lights, dimmer switches, and\u00a0recessed lighting can be great choices for a smaller space. \u00a0It creates a classy look and saves a lot of space compared to most other options. \u00a0If you choose to use a drop ceiling, can lights are also easy to install.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. \u00a0Choose the Right Floor, Under the Floor<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Basement floors (especially in Grand Rapids) are cold and hard. \u00a0Don&#8217;t fall into this trap! \u00a0Installing a wood subfloor, or at least including an excellent carpet pad, will be crucial to having a comfortable space. \u00a0If you love the idea of a tile floor, seriously consider good, thick rugs. \u00a0There&#8217;s not much point in making a beautiful space if you hate standing in it.\u00a0 Make the floor feel good on your toes!<\/p>\n<p>You can install nearly any &#8216;surface&#8217; flooring type in your basement. \u00a0While engineered wood typically works better than true hardwood (due to expansion and contraction), you can comfortably choose between carpet,\u00a0tile, and wood floors.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2471\" src=\"http:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Finish Your Basement 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thehoneybeehomes.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Finish-Your-Basement-4.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>6. \u00a0Use Paint to Your Advantage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Most basements are quirky. \u00a0Many have\u00a0a weird layout, odd dimensions, or windows that feel out of place. \u00a0Use your paint to accent its best features. \u00a0Painting the ceiling a bright color will make the room feel larger, and using different colors on your\u00a0your ceiling, trim, and walls will give it more definition.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to focus on a certain area, consider an accent wall with a bright pop of color or subtle\u00a0design. \u00a0This can make the space uniquely yours, and\u00a0help it feel like a very special place.<\/p>\n<p>So dive in. \u00a0Finish your basement, and enjoy having the best one in Grand Rapids!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan basements can be a drag. \u00a0They can be dark, damp, and unwelcoming (and some are downright gross). \u00a0But fear not&#8230; with just a few key steps, you can have an amazing space. \u00a0So how can you finish your basement like a boss?
