Basement Home Improvement St Cloud MN ⋆ Schoenberg Construction, Inc.

There are a lot of places in your St Cloud home that probably need some attention. Like a lot of other homeowners, your list is growing and the time left to get things taken care of just keeps shrinking. The basement is one of those spaces that you want to remodel and add to your list of home improvement ideas and it’s a worthy addition because that space shouldn’t be left to doom, gloom, and storage.

Upgrading your basement space doesn’t have to be a massive home improvement project. It is really as simple as sticking to a few primary improvements. Granted, in order to do this your basement needs to be partially finished but that’s not difficult either. If you have an unfinished basement, take the time to contact a general contractor in St Cloud. After all, you can’t decorate exposed plumbing and cement.

Basement Home Improvement Ideas

The first improvement to hit on is that you’ve got to have light, and that’s easy to tackle. Whether the lighting you add is natural or artificial, it can improve the ambiance in your remodeled basement a great deal and most lighting is completely customizable to your taste. Adding any kind of light source that you enjoy is essential when you consider how dark a basement can be, even if it’s a bi-level.

If you are lucky enough to get a basement that’s not entirely buried, then work with a general contractor in St Cloud to take advantage of that natural light. Get as many new windows installed as possible so there is no barrier between your newly remodeling living space and the great outdoors – save for the glass of course. If you’re not into the whole fish-bowl lifestyle, there are plenty of window treatments that you can use to cover your new windows in order to keep gawkers out and sunlight in.

The next improvement is to get some color into your space. Your new walls are going to need paint, and perhaps a floor update is needed as well depending on the route you chose for home improvements in the basement. Either way, a general contractor can get the right team together to help you get some magnificent color on your walls and the perfect flooring installed. We suggest you aim for bright paint colors so you can add the right amount of spirit and flare to your basement. It started out dull and drab – why keep it that way? It is also a good idea to keep your flooring color choice in the neutral tones.

Of course, any newly remodeled basement in St Cloud needs to have the right accessories in order to make it useful. Sound systems, video games, a pool table, a wet bar, built-in bookcases. Whatever your fancy, a general contractor can help transform that boring old storage space into a room (or rooms) that fit the style of everyone in your family.

Finally, basements can accumulate a lot of stuff over the years but yours doesn’t have to. Simple dedicate a portion of your basement to storage. Not only are you planning ahead but you can prevent those storage boxes from slowly invading your comfort space.

Consider your creative option, use your imagination and get with a Saint Cloud MN general contractor to finish your basement and turn it into a fresh and useful new space.
