Hi guys, we have just bought our first fsmily home and havs a 12x3.7 metre area that needs utilising! Previous owner used as a pool and darts room but I’m thinking 4th bedroom? Kids retreat? It has its own shower room aswell. It’s quiet Cold and unfeeling with brick walls and tiled floors! I want to make it into a cosy space!!
All ideas welcome!!

Basements are more prevalent in the US, so they really know how to make them comfortable. Go to Houzz and type basement in the search engine and you will get thousands of inspirational photos.

You can type Basement into google search and get the same results..what you don't get with Photos, Videos and Artist coloured fake rendered models Is data, engineering, costs and proofs.. and you certainly can't get it approved, nor build it without the engineering, enjoy the show

Hi,
If you want to make your basement have a more cozy feel I'd add a nice couch for people to sit on. Also, some comfy chairs so people can socialize will make the basement more inviting. In addition, I'd add some family photos on your walls and some more lighting. Also, if you're a sports fan you can add sports memorabilia in your basement. Lastly, if you want to engage people I'd add a television in the basement so people can watch shows or movies.
