Help with my basement floorplan pleeease!
Comments (3)What parts of the basement are underground? Where are the windows? Where are the stairs? I'd be tempted to put the bathroom where the sewage line is, and put the bedroom on the other side, where the wt bar is. I'd put the wet bar where the bedroom is...or where the hall is, on the other side of the Home Theater. If you go with your original design, putting a closet in the 9 by 9 ares would be fine. Storage space is always valuable, especially in a bedroom. Make sure none of these areas leak...then design with the assumption they will some day. (Flooring that won't get moldy if a minor puddle forms.) Be sure to insulate....See Morehelp with basement layout please
Comments (0)Hello, My wife and I have been struggling with how to lay out our basement. I think we're set on where the theater and exercise room will be, but we've looked at different options for where to put the bar and ping pong table. We will have a side walkout - facing east. We will have a sliding door and a couple windows on the walkout wall. I've shown the basement floor plan below, but we are open to moving the bar and will probably make the bar smaller than what is shown on the architect's plans. We would be fine with having 4 bar stools. I like the idea of a couch or something comfortable near the bar so some people could hang out at the bar while others sit on the couch. We'd also like room for a card table in this area. We would want the TV visible from the ping pong table, bar, and card table. Notes that I had provided to architect: Another option: What are people's thoughts about lining up a couch next to the bar like shown in the picture above? We've also considered a lower-height bar like this picture with comfortable chairs like shown: We're open to suggestions and would love feedback! Thanks in advance!...See Moreplease help with basement layout

Comments (2)To fit 8-12 people, don't skimp on the ventilation in the room. The bigger the room, the more power you'll need to feed the speakers to hit the same sound pressure level (SPL) at the main seating position. Use an acoustically transparent (AT) screen with three identical speakers behind it—this greatly improves your front sound stage. Paint the room dark, including the ceiling. This improves picture contrast. Or better yet, cover the walls with AT fabric—this way you can hide speakers and acoustic room treatment. Put shakers in your furniture—they're a cheap and fun addition to movies. Although as with anything, you can go overboard cost-wise with these as well. Put the gear outside the room so you don't have distracting lights in the room. Plan for how you'll control the gear as well. Plan for bass control. For example, a riser can double as a broadband absorber. Look into Dolby Atmos—I did this in my last house with 7 identical speakers around the room and 4 overhead speakers. It was amazing....See MoreLyn Nielson
