When most people think of an addition to their home, they think about adding on to the existing structure. What many seem to forget is that their "addition," already 30% completed, is literally right under their noses – in the basement. Realtor surveys consistently show that finished basements rank just behind kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations in return on investment to homeowners. Payback on the cost of remodeling the basement comes in at between 20% to 115%. Keep in mind, though, that this means professionally finished basements. Unprofessionally finished basements are a minus. Homeowners are recommended to delay or not undertake the renovation at all if they can’t afford to do it properly. Prospective buyers have consistently shown themselves uninterested in undoing . . . or living with . . . the mistakes and miscues commonplace when would-be do-it-yourselfers find themselves in over their heads.

By remodeling their newly-found additions, homeowners gain several advantages: Basements are naturally insulated by the earth, which means they’re cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Moving the family room, home entertainment center, home office, or children’s playroom to the basement frees up additional space in the main living area, which can mean an expanded kitchen or bath, a larger master bedroom, or an additional guest bedroom or living quarters. Of course, if the house does not currently have room for a family room, home office, etc., one can be built economically in the basement. By putting a home entertainment center, exercise area, workroom or other "activity" room in the basement, the rest of the house can be quieter and more stress free. Conversely, a den, sauna or whirlpool can be put in the basement as a quiet retreat from other household activity.

Basements should be more heavily lit than above-grade rooms. Maximize both natural (outdoor daylight) and artificial lighting. An open floor plan, large windows, and a French door leading to the basement instead of the solid door which is most likely installed there now will help maximize the lighting. Also think in terms of light colors, and mirrored walls or ceiling
