Home Renovations: 5 Ideas for a Basement Remodel

Do you have an unfinished basement or a basement that just doesn’t get used? It may be time to think about a basement remodel. Any type of home renovations in Savage or anywhere around the Twin Cities can help you repurpose a space. Here are some ideas for how you could use your basement in a more productive way.

1. Theater Room- A theater room is a great way to repurpose your basement during home renovations. If you’re a movie buff, having a small in-home theater would be the perfect addition to your house.

2. Home Office- Have you ever considered working from home, but didn’t have the space? Tuck your home office in the basement for a quiet space to be productive. The best part about adding a home office is you can have it set up however you want!

3. Guest Room- Hosting guests with a full house will be easy if you add a guest room in the basement. Your guests will probably be happier to have their own space. You can install a bedroom and a bathroom, so they can be comfortable in your home.

4. Hobby Room- If you have ever wished you had more space to explore your hobbies, now you can. If you like to make wine, race RC Cars or take photographs, having a dedicated space can help bring even more enjoyment to these activities.

5. Entertainment Area- You can turn your basement into the place to be! By doing home renovations to turn your basement into an entertainment area, you can host all the Viking’s games. You could install seating, a bar and a big-screen TV!

Bathroom Renovations Budgeting



If you are thinking about bathroom renovations in Savage, there are a few things you should think about before you start getting into the details of planning. We here at Titus Contracting have a few suggestions on what to consider when coming up with your budget.

Think about what you want done. How big do you want to go? Do you want a vanity, shower and bathtub? Or a complete bathroom remodel. Then it is time to look at your bank account to see what you can comfortably afford. Make sure to consider that things might be more or less expensive than you anticipate. So it is good to leave a little wiggle room.

How many years do you plan on living in your current home should also be a factor. If you are planning on staying put for the foreseeable future, then your bathroom renovations should be totally customized to you and your family’s wants and needs. Go ahead and indulge in the towel warmer if you want! But if you are planning to move within the next few years, the bathroom renovations should be more general, and you should be more focused on your return on investment.

Then start getting into the nitty-gritty of your bathroom renovations. Go online and start pricing a few must-have items to get an idea of how much you will have to set aside for your remodeling project. Plan to meet with your contractor to get a solid estimate. Remember that after your bathroom renovations are complete, you might want a new shower curtain and liner, new bathroom rugs or other bathroom accessories. See what you can repurpose or find on sale!
