Planning a basement requires more thought than a bedroom or family room. Often there is damp to manage, and usually there is less natural light and more raw surfaces. But finishing a basement can open up a world of opportunity for use, from a home office to a play space for kids. It can be a home gym or an oasis for a special hobby.
