Cork is one of the most popular contemporary flooring choices. It has many advantages – it absorbs sound, insulates from the heat and cold, is fire resistant, anti-allergenic and environmentally conscious, to name just a few. Cork is available in many styles and finishes to give a fresh and novel look to any home. Cork is the perfect choice for a gym –it is hypoallergenic. It provides a soft cushion floor exercise and a mat for yoga yet is tough enough to handle the workload of a weight room. At Flooring Lane our experts are ready to help you find the cork floor that fits your taste and needs.

"All you have to do is go downstairs, and your in another world," says homeowner Carol Ann Miller. This Kirkwood, Missouri basement suffered from cracks in the walls and would leak whenever it rained. Woods Basement Systems repaired the cracks, installed a waterproofing system with sump pumps, and transformed it into a dry, bright, energy-efficient living space. The remodel includes a safari-themed entertainment room complete with zebra-striped wet bar and walk-in closet, a full leopard-print bathroom, and a small café kitchen. Woods Basement Systems used Total Basement Finishing flooring and insulated wall systems, installed a drop ceiling, and replaced old, single-pane windows with new, energy-efficient basement windows. The result is a bright and beautiful basement that is dry, comfortable, and enjoyable.

Basement with White Walls and Yellow Floors Ideas and Designs

In an age where space is at a premium, the newest trend in urban home renovation is the basement conversion, allowing a homeowner to increase the square footage of their home without increasing their plot size or reducing the size of their garden. Basement excavations and constructions can provide an extra floor of living space and with modern construction techniques a basement can become a bright, warm and airy heart of your home. An increasing number of us are transforming this previously wasted space into an awe inspiring kitchen or living area, whilst those seeking to create a real luxury addition to their home are opting for basement ideas such as home cinemas, gyms and spas, man caves or pool rooms.

What type of home is suitable for a basement conversion?

A basement conversion is particularly suitable for urban homes on small plots and can offer the perfect solution for extending a terraced or semi-detached urban home. Whilst it is typically more costly to convert a basement than to complete a loft conversion or extension, for those that have already completed these renovations or where even more space is required, extending below ground can be the best option. The best candidates are homes with an existing cellar and it is just a case of deepening or expanding the existing space. If you don't have a cellar, a retro-fit basement can be created but a project of this magnitude will require additional time and money.

What room should I turn my basement or cellar into?

The proximity of the basement conversion to the living areas and internal infrastructure of the house make it ideal for additional living, recreational and utility rooms. It can also lend itself well to creating an entirely separate, self-contained annexe or apartment. If you’re just extending your house for some extra space to play with, the basement ideas you could have are the stuff of dreams: home gyms, snooker rooms, wine cellars, home bars and indoor swimming pools are among the most exciting uses.

How should I tackle a cellar or basement conversion?

The best thing to do is contact a professional to assess how feasible it will be to have a basement conversion or excavation in your home. There’s no point looking at lots of basement ideas if it would actually be structurally impossible to install a basement room. You should also check what permissions and consents you will need before beginning a project like this – a basement conversion can be very disruptive for you and neighbours so you need to make sure you are legally allowed to go ahead with the conversion first. Your chosen contractors will then need to underpin foundations for support, completely waterproof the basement and build in the internal walls. Then, all the finishing touches, staircases, flooring and electrics will need to be completed. Remember to consider internal balconies or mezzanines, as well as light wells and perhaps sunken terraces outside of the basement to introduce as much light as possible.
