Building a Basement Bar

Building a Basement Bar

Homeowners pay scant attention to the basement and mostly use the space as a storage unit. When we say the word basement, we automatically picture a dark place with water leaks at various places or a naked pipeline hanging a few feet below the ceiling. But if you are a fan of home decor like us, you will agree with us that if perfectly remodeled, the basement can turn out to be the best place in your house.

If you have a basement in your house and you are not sure what to do about it, we’re here to tell you how you can put the dark space into good use. You can use your basement for different purposes. You can build a room and rent it out. However, if you want you little heaven to be exclusively yours and you don’t want any stranger living in your house (regardless of how much rent he/she pays) you can use your basement for plenty of other practical reasons.

These days, at thanks to vloggers and bloggers, kitchen remodeling is the new talk of the town and many people are willing to dedicate their basement to cooking spaces. If you think about it, it is good to keep your kitchen area downstairs. Open kitchens (which are still in the trend) are hard to maintain. You have to be on your toes to keep dirty dishes out of your kitchen sink. With a kitchen in your basement, you can at least relax for a few hours.

If you are not liking the idea of a basement kitchen, you consider building a man cave where you and your friends can watch football matches, cheer for your favorite teams, and celebrate loudly. There is another suggestion that you may possibly like and that is to convert your basement into a bar. But before you dive into this suggestion, check out the following:

1. Permit Requirements

Before you start work on your basement remodeling project, find out if you need a permit from your city building authorities. Once you have acquired the permit, you can begin the planning process.

2. Your Bar Design

Now that you are finally opting for this suggestion, you have to choose a design that can fit well into your basement. You have to see what kind of bar design you are going with. For example, do you want the design of a local pub which is down the street or are you looking for the design that speaks of elegance and royalty? Also, maybe, you want a bar which looks similar to a man cave and can provide you with a perfect in-house getaway during weekends to both your friends and family members.
