Football season's here, so it's a great time to start thinking about that out-of-date home theater system again. Fact is, home theater technology is moving faster than a halfback in the open field, and with new talk of crazy features like scent generators and light-syncing effects becomes reality, your remodeled basement might have a lot more to offer than your local movie theater.
Today's blog is geared toward the musically inclined homeowners out there. For many of you, listening to your favorite artists on surround sound speakers or watching them on a plasma television isn't quite enough. You want the ability to perform your own music in the comfort of your home. Now, when it comes to choosing your instruments and learning how to play, well, you're on your own. But once you've decided to get serious, I suggest you strongly consider transforming a part of your home into either a traditional music room or a fully equipped home recording studio.
Continuing in the spirit of the holidays, I'm going to take a brief respite from the "Home Improvement Showdown" and take a slightly less combative look at a subject I touched on a couple weeks ago: Game Rooms.
Creating or remodeling a game room can be almost as fun as enjoying the game room when it's done. That's because there's more room for creative freedom in game room remodeling than in almost any other sort of specialized remodeling job.
It's all about personalization, style, and bringing out your inner child.
Today, we're talking basement remodeling, and exploring two of the most popular themes homeowners choose for their basement's social rebirth: game rooms and home theaters.
The game room and home theater tend to be generalized as "male oriented" basement remodeling projects, but in my experience, women enjoy the entertainment of big screen movies and high stakes pool, pinball, or air hockey as much as their husbands or boyfriends. The point is, a basement game room or home theater is a project everyone will enjoy. So, if both ideas sound tempting, which way do you go?
