Your attic and basement space is no longer just a place to store household items. These over-looked spaces are turning into wonderful household rooms from bedrooms to media rooms to wine cellars. Add more livable space to your home by remodeling your attic or basement!
Homeowners with step roofs and attics in which they can stand up in without hitting their heads on the rafters, will find an attic renovation idea appealing. The types of things that attics can be used for are only limited by the homeowner creativity and available space.
When making a decision to renovate an attic, there are several important steps that need to be accomplished before going forward with a design. Conducting a home inspection to determine if the ceiling joists and attic framing are structurally sound is essential. The last thing any homeowner wants is a newly completed attic remodeling project to come crashing through the ceiling onto the floor below.

Home Office – many people work at home today and typically have difficulty carving out a quiet space in a home. An attic is ideal for this and it also solves the home office tax deductibility problem.
Library/Sitting Room – this is great getaway place for parents who like a quiet place to read, along with adding a few skylights or dormers to let in comforting natural light.
Master Suite – turning an attic into a master suite provides a room for parents to have their own space. This is especially comfortable when dormers are added to provide lots of natural light.
Home Theater – is one of the most popular ideas, because the room can be transformed to provide a realistic movie theater experience with a flat screen TV and sound system.
Play/Game Room – this type of room provides an ideal place for a kid’s playroom.
Remodeling your basement can provide a number of benefits such as increasing your living and storage space. The basement is a place in many homes where families congregate and come together as one. Basement renovation is a great way to incorporate something for everyone in the family. Whether it is a series of games, electronics or areas for kids, remodeling the basement can be fun and at the same time, add value to the home in the long run.
The Charlotte Remodeling Company can transform your basement into a beautiful and functional additional living space!
Here are some ideas for renovating your basement:
Idea #1: Game Room
Turn your basement into a complete game room complete with all of the family’s favorites such as air hockey, pinball machines, ping pong, shuffleboard and more. A game room can be used by one or many and can also be a place to have guests or a party.
Idea #2: Wine Cellar
If you are a wine aficionado, build-in a wine-cellar to keep your favorite stock always on hand and refrigerated appropriately. And a wine cellar in your basement certainly adds the “luxury” feel to your home.
Idea #3: Media Center
Add a large flat-screen television, DVD players, stereo system, hi-tech surround-sound speakers and Blu-Ray players for the entire family to enjoy. Also, be sure to incorporate comfortable furniture like plush sofas, tables to place drinks and food on and extra seating for guests. Media centers have become very popular.
Idea #4: Hobby Room
If you have a certain craft or hobby, add a special area where you can go to work on related projects. Whether it is a cozy sewing room or a place for scrapbooking, go ahead and add tables, chairs, worktables, shelving for materials, and built-in closet space for equipment.
Idea #5: Spa or Steam Room
Some basements have enough space for a Jacuzzi or whirlpool. A sauna or steam room is a great way to relax and can add value to a home.
Idea #6: Workout Room
Turn your basement into a health spa complete with exercise equipment, Yoga mats, an aerobic area, massage tables, shower stalls, as well as a vanity area to do hair and make-up.
