Design and Function
Determine Your Needs and Project Location
Consider whether you would like an added or remodeled area to perform more than one function: Will you use your basement as a family room, work space, or both? Think also about your current living arrangements: Will your existing furniture look appropriate in your new living room?
Draw a Simple Floor Plan
Using graph paper and patterns of your furniture cut to scale, plot out your ideal room configuration, keeping in mind high-traffic areas, focal points, furniture groupings, storage space, and adequate lighting.
Consult a Professional Remodeling Contractor
Remodeling contractors understand the complexities of design and function for any remodeling project, and can provide valuable time- and money-saving advice throughout the remodeling process.
