Keep reading for predictions of 10 different basement remodeling trends expected in 2024 that will expand your living space and creatively turn your subterranean square footage into a welcoming area in your home.
Incorporating sensible storage options is an absolute necessity when undergoing a basement remodel. Incorporate plenty of opportunities for organization, whether that be through hidden storage or stylish open shelving. Creative storage solutions such as under stair storage or built-ins can also help.
Gathering in front of the fire is a classic cozy activity, and a trend that will continue its popularity in 2024. However, 2024 will see a breakaway from the fireplace and TV area stacked, with a focus rather on two separate spaces.
Wine storage and adding a wet bar to your basement is a classic trend that is continuing into the new year. Adding wine rooms to your basement will be a popular storage option, that also doesn’t have to take up lots of space. A wet bar complete with a place to chill beverages is the perfect hosting feature.
Adding your personality into a space through decor, color, texture, or sticking to a theme can be a great way to make your space feel more loved and inviting. A basement remodeling design trend of 2024 will be adding dark, moody colors throughout the space such a deep blues and greens.
While there aren’t many opportunities for light and windows to be had below ground, trying to work in as much natural light is important when undergoing a basement remodeling project. Creative ways to add in windows and light will be very popular in 2024. Also trending is creating more of a picturesque view out the window such as adding plants outside the window.
If you can’t decide on what to put in your space, or have many ideas, adding in walls or room dividers can help section off your space. Room dividers will be a popular basement remodeling choice in 2024 and another way to exhibit unique design choices.
Adding a home gym is another classic basement remodeling trend continuing in 2024. Add a stationary bike, yoga mat, and even a steam shower for all the luxury.
Having a carpeted basement has fallen out of popularity. In 2024 homeowners are expected to opt towards luxury vinyl flooring, and area rugs for style.
Like adding a wet bar, basements are a place for entertaining and hosting. Providing enough space for snacking and sitting is important. Add end tables where people naturally congregate or built-in ledges and counters for extra seating and space for beverages or snacks.
Focusing on adding architectural interest to your ceiling can transform your basement. Adding floor-to-ceiling color or using ductwork as an architectural advantage can be a great way to make your basement more inviting and interesting.
