You can remodel the basement in your home by using ideas on low budget as long as you apply right plans and ideas with attractive style that can add value of property. Some homeowners that I met said that this project can take you high cost. He claimed that he had spent $30,000 for decorating basement only.
In fact, it does not always take expensive procedure. So if you are still getting home equity loan and refinancing your home, it is necessary to do on budget. All you need is to spare your time. Here are some factors that you can take into consideration while going in remodeling.
Ceiling and Flooring
Instead of having drop ceiling, it is advised to use snap ceiling so there will be no needed wire and level. You just need to drill frame to the joints and paint the pipes/ductwork. It is good enough. It sounds easy and cost below budget of $400 for 2 days of projects. For flooring, you can use vinyl tiles due to peel and stick character as low cost choice.
Walls
You may take long time to plan and décor it. At least, it takes 4-7 days to complete. Framing the walls are most consuming time because you must frame air conditional and duct box as well. Painting wall panel is easy to do particularly cinder block with non porous. To get more colorful, you can make murals or border on wall. For this project, the estimated cost could be $1000-1500.
Storage, Fixtures and Additional Recouping
For perfect finishing, installing wall shelving, free standing units or filling cabinet can be great choice particularly if it is small basement. You can add light fixtures, water heater and air conditioning.
Overall it can take you below cost of $5000 to get new look. You can see pictures below that show dramatic changes after remodeling basement. They may give you inspiring ideas and plans.
