You love your home and it's everything that you and your family could ever have wanted, and everyone has their own personal space. But, you need something more. You need a space in your home that's just for you. Someplace where you and your buddies can get together for a weekend, and just enjoy a fun and rowdy weekend of food, drinks and most important of all lot's sporting events! You need your own Media Room, so it's time for that long overdue basement renovation.
One of the first things that you have to understand with any basement renovation or other home improvement project is that it is an investment in your home. Over time, it is going to add value to your home, so you have to make certain that it is done properly in order to protect your investment. So, you will want to plan out your basement renovation by speaking with a licensed contractor, maybe actually seeking out a contractor that specializes in this sort of renovation.
If you have decided to go ahead with a basement renovation then one thing you must really consider is the amount of time it is going to take to actually complete the project. This is greatly dependant on whether or not the basement has been previously finished or is an unfinished basement. With a finished basement there will be a great deal less construction , wiring and possibly plumbing that needs to be done. When a basement is unfinished there will be considerably more costly framing and other renovations required. All of this may seriously impact the cost and timeline of the project.
After completing the framing you will know exactly what the dimensions are that you have to work with. You will have to decide how best to utilize this space. You will probably want it to have a personal touch that is dripping with, oh how shall we say, AWESOME! For a few pointers, Whether you decide you want to go with an elegant movie theatre design and feel with a huge and theatre seats or you just want to go with a more modest screen and lounge chairs, the choice is yours. One thing that any media room needs though, is surround sound to take it to an experience and not be just a pastime.
A very good point to consider further is the lighting and coloring of the room. Choosing soft lights and warm colors can give more of a family room appeal as opposed to say industrial or wilderness d?cor with rough hewn paneling.
There is a time honored saying that holds true no matter who you are, that being "Nothing is as fun to have as when you are able to share it." A media room at it's finest can be the ultimate gathering place for friends and family. It will likely be the most fun and entertaining room in your home where you will love to spend most of your free time not spent out of doors.
