Bedroom Basement Addition
There may come a time in the future where your family grows and you’ll need to find some extra room. If you have a house with a basement, then you could possibly create a new bedroom in your basement to accompany the growth that is taking place.
Basement bedrooms are a great idea, especially if you have teenagers in your house as it gives them the space they need at a distance they’ll love. But, creating this bedroom might be a bit daunting unless you think things through a bit first.
The first thing you’ll need to do is think about any safety issues that might be in your basement that you need to take care of. You need to make sure that the stairs are easily accessible and that there’s an alternate exit in place in case the stairs aren’t accessible in an emergency such as a fire. A good emergency exit idea is a basement window that can be opened all the way so that someone can leave the house. Or you can have a doorway put in that can give them an exit.
You’ll need to make sure that your basement is moisture sealed as well so that you don’t get any dampness. Damp basements are very common and when you try to put a bedroom in a damp basement, you’re going to end up running into all kinds of problems that you never would have thought of before. Once you have it sealed from the moisture, all you’ll have to do is clean it out and plan how your bedroom is going to fit. Take your time creating the plan that you really want and think of everything you’ll need.
Remember that lighting is extremely important in creating the perfect bedroom in your basement. You’ll also need to consider the flooring that you’re going to be using as well. The good news is that most basements stay at a fairly comfortable temperature no matter what it is outside. You won’t have to worry too much about heating and cooling as long as your basement is sealed right. But you should add a bit of ventilation and heating if you live in a colder climate. This should give you the perfect basement bedroom in no time and without too many headaches in the long run.
