The Hottest Basement Remodeling Trends of 2021

Posted on May 17, 2021

With most of us stuck on stay-at-home orders, getting the most use out of the available space in your home is critical. In the past, you might have considered your basement as a place for storage and had no interest in undertaking a basement remodelling project. Now, homeowners realize that a finished basement can offer more space for their family and increase the overall value of their home.

Rose Building Group, a GTA-based home renovation company, are experts in the basement remodelling field. Home renovation companies constantly see shifts in basement remodelling trends, driven by changes in style and the need for convenience. With one finger always on the pulse of design trends, here are the hottest trends home renovation companies expect to see in 2021.

Storage, Storage, Storage

basement renovation contractor With basement remodelling, many customers want to increase their living space but still need the ability to use their basement for storage.

One great way to include storage in your basement remodelling design is by adding built-in shelving. Not only is it an excellent storage solution, but integrated furniture brings an element of flair to a basement design.

Open Concept Layout

Open concept layouts have been a popular home design choice for a few years now. Getting rid of useless walls can remove the feelings of a “cramped” space, take advantage of the natural expansive nature of a basement, and bring a modern update that encourages community.

With larger basements, you can have multi-purpose spaces or designated areas such as a theatre room, home gym, or bar area, all open to a central place. For the smaller basement, you can separate specific spaces with strategic placement of furniture.

Have A Fluid Design

In previous years, basement remodelling trends focussed on making the basement the unique spot of your home. Because the basement is somewhat ‘hidden’ people, were experimenting with bold colours and encouraged to be free with their choice of styling.

Entering 2021, basement remodelling trends show a focus on renovating your basement as an extension of your upstairs living space. From one floor to the next, the finishings, colour and overall design style remains the same.

By keeping the design choice consistent with the remainder of the house, your basement feels like any other room in your home. Extending the style to the basement creates an easy transition from your home to your new extra living space. The basement isn’t seen as a downgrade from the rest of your home but on par to the main living space.

Theatre Rooms Are Back

Who knows when we will be able to sit in a movie theatre again! Bring back the nostalgic movie experience with the investment in a home theatre or media room.

When considering your media room design for your basement renovation, any home renovation company will say homeowners have two options to choose from, an open TV space or an enclosed room.

For the real movie enthusiast, we recommend an enclosed TV room so you can incorporate all the elements needed to enhance your experience. Such as a projection screen, surround sound system, plush reclining seats and maybe even a designated setup for snacks. A traditional home theatre like this is the ultimate dream for most homeowners.

Make Friday nights something to look forward to again. If you have the space required, Rose Building Group can help you design the home theatre you have always longed for.

Of course, if you are looking for a more cost-efficient and straightforward setup, an open concept TV room that has the feel of a family room but is equipped with the necessary media equipment might be right for you. Rose Building Group can help you integrate a bar area or kitchenette into your basement design and create the ultimate entertainment experience.

Adding A Bedroom Suite

One of the most popular bedroom remodelling trends in 2021 is creating complete guest suites for friends and family visiting. This isn’t just an extra bedroom; the design trend is all about creating guest suits that incorporate an on-suite bathroom, a wet bar and, if space permits, a small lounge area.

Creating a guest suite in your basement is excellent for homeowners who have family who often visit for extended periods or have many out-of-town friends.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

Everyone has been a pleasure to deal with - they are friendly, clean and their attention to detail and quality is top notch! I highly recommend Rose Building Group and we will have them back for future renovations.

Rose Building Group completed a living room renovation for me. Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and his team and I am very pleased with the workmanship from the trades they used.

Matts team also took the time to do some repair work for me that had some damage.

I will use Rose Building Group for my next home renovation
