Consider all the options as a holistic package
Kitchens and Bathrooms
Be sure to have a clear purpose for the usage of the space. If you are creating a basement apartment the kitchen and bathroom should be more functional and durable, typically reducing renovation material costs.
When creating a living space be sure to consider a potential Man-Cave for the guys and for the family, a home office or a playroom for the kids.
Basement Ceilings
There are two main options available for finishing basement ceilings. Smooth drywall ceilings are the most widely used option due to the refelctiveness of basement pot lights, fire rating requirements and the clean modern look they provide.
Drop ceilings still remain a popular choice for basement apartment renovations due to their simple installation, ease of accesibility and replacement. With a wide range of decorative patterns, textures and colors, the drop ceiling is still a cost effective and widely used choice.
Future Improvements
Planning for the future through the basement renovation will save time and money in the long run. Consider potential improvements such as gas lines for the main floor gas stove, fireplace of exterior BBQ. Electrical conduits to bring power for a potential hot tub or cabana and exterior lighting and lanscaping needs.
