10 Stunning Basement Remodel Before and After Examples [Pictures]

Looking for some realistic basement remodel before and after examples?

Tons of houses in the United States have basements, but many homeowners have no clue how to transform these downstairs spaces into something cozy and liveable. With that said, we’re here to stock you up with plenty of ideas and inspiration for your upcoming basement remodel, with some stunning before and after pictures of finished basements seen below.

You can take your basement from…

1) Dingy & Bare ➡️ Dark & Beautiful

This bare-bones basement was remodeled into a rich and luxurious living space with just a little wall paint, some inviting furniture, and dark home decor.

2) Mom’s Old Furniture ➡️ Her Future Guest Room

Say goodbye to those hand-me-down pieces from mom and give her the perfect basement guest room for her next big visit.

3) Drab Drywall ➡️ a Fun, Funky, & Functional Space

Is perusing Pinterest one of your main interests? Consider remodeling your bland, unfinished basement into a fun, colorful craft room with custom reclaimed barn wood doors.

4) Totally Unfinished Basement ➡️ Space for the Whole Family

Some basement remodels are big enough to give you nearly double the amount of usable square footage, like this one with a spacious family room that has a spot for everyone (and everything)

5) Miscellaneous Storage ➡️ Your Own At-Home Cinema

If money is no object, why not go all out and create a home cinema for yourself, like the one seen here?

6) Forgotten Junk ➡️ a Home Gym & Fitness Studio

On those days when you just don’t want to get in the car and drive to the gym, just go downstairs to your finished basement fitness studio.

7) Useless Basement Space ➡️ Storage Under the Staircase

Why leave the stairs unfinished when you can create the perfect place to store, well, just about anything you want? Fill up some cabinets under your staircase to clear up basement clutter.

8) Outdated Design Features ➡️ Fresh & Modern Decor

Don’t rip out that outdated fireplace; just give it a facelift! Fresh paint and some warm decor will bring new life and style to your space.

9) The Kids’ Cluttered Basement ➡️ Bonus Kitchen Space

If your children can’t seem to get their toys back in the bin after playtime, consider simply changing the whole room into your own bonus kitchen. That’s much better than back pain from picking up after your kids, right?

10) A 70s Fever Dream ➡️ a Timeless Basement Transformed

We don’t know why wood paneling was so popular back then, but getting rid of it will give you a bright, gorgeous basement to gather in.
