Unfinished basements are blank canvases. They can be transformed into any type of room, and for every project the needs differ.
There are. however, some principle that should be observed in virtually any basement project:
- Consider that, because the way they are built, even the driest basements are prone to humidity and/or water accidents. Therefore, many of the finishing products commonly used in above grade projects, such as dry wall, wooden sub-floors, hardwood, cork, bamboo floors and many types of carpet are not suitable for below grade areas.
That is because such products are not moisture resistant, and are made with organic compounds. When combined with moisture, they support old growth.
In conclusion, anyone considering a basement remodel, should consider finishing products developed specifically for basements. Wall, ceiling and flooring systems that are 100% waterproof, inorganic and mold resistant.

Generally, a basement must have two exits to be considered as living space, one of which should be a door that leads directly outside. The other exit can be a window large enough for a person to fit through in case of an emergency.
When installing a bulkhead door in your basement, consider safety features such as a sturdy locking mechanism, proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup, non-slip steps, and a clear exit path in case of emergencies.
In some areas it is perfectly legal to rent a basement. However, make sure the basement is suitable to be used as living space, and above all, is in compliance with local building, house and fire code, as well as with city ordinances. Most codes demand that basements that are used as a bedroom have an egress window, or two safe ways to exit the basement, in case of emergency. Consult the housing authorities to see what kind of features are required. Do not rent a basement that is not 100% legal and up to code. If caught renting an illegal basement, you may face fines that will amount to much more than you would have paid to make the basement up to code.
To ensure the basement exit window is easily accessible and functional in case of an emergency, safety measures should include keeping the area around the window clear of obstructions, ensuring the window opens easily, installing a secure and easy-to-use latch or lock, and regularly testing the window to ensure it can be opened quickly if needed.
