2022 Best Basement Remodel Under $100,000

This client had an unfinished basement they used for storage but had hoped to finish it since it was built. They wanted a hang-out space for their children, a small bar area, a full bathroom, an office, an area for guests to stay, and to keep a fair amount of storage as well. They liked the light and bright modern farmhouse look with wood accents, shiplap, and wood look flooring. With a budget of around $80,000, we created a TV and living area with a custom-built-in that features a barn door style sliding door and stained shiplap. Behind the seating area is a small dry bar with an under-counter fridge for easy access to drinks downstairs. You see a custom-designed murphy bed when you walk through the double barn doors to the guest bedroom and office area. This allows the area to serve as an office space on most days but can easily be a bedroom for guests without taking up floor space. A full bath is also available, making this basement fully functional for guests, work days, or an evening relaxing. Behind the living area and under the stairs, there is still plenty of hidden space for shelving and storage.
