Create the Perfect Basement Guest Suite

With a large out-of-town family and tons of friends scattered across the country, your house is the hub for holiday gatherings and summer break getaways. If you love all the company but wish you had better overnight accommodations than the sofa or an air mattress than it’s time to consider a basement makeover. Creating a guest space or in-law suite will give your company privacy while giving you back some personal space as well.

Your basement is an underused space that isn’t living up to its full potential. Transforming your unfinished basement is the perfect solution for a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. No longer will your friends and family be bunking in the spare bedroom between your master suite and the kid’s bedrooms. They’ll finally have an area of your home that’s meant just for them.

If you’re thinking of turning your basement into an extra bedroom, you’ll want to be sure to brighten it up with ample lighting and make it as inviting as the rest of your home. Make sure the basement suite doesn’t feel like an afterthought by choosing the furnishings as carefully as you would for your family rooms, including beautiful bedding, artwork, and a comfortable seating area.

Bathroom Update Style Tips

Is your bathroom looking drab and nothing at all like the spa oasis you deserve? If your washroom has poor lighting, ugly flooring, an old shower, and no soaker tub, it’s time for a remodel. A complete bathroom makeover not only has the potential to increase the value of your home, but it will add serious value to your life in the form of comfort!  A lush new bathroom space will leave you feeling pampered in the luxury of your own home.

As you begin to consider a remodel and start the planning process, you’ll need to decide what you do and don’t like about your current bathroom. Most importantly, determine what you can and can’t live without. Even though it may seem like a small room, there’s a lot that can go into a bathroom remodel. Between a new tub, shower, glass doors, a sink, toilet, medicine cabinet, tiling and other fixtures, a bathroom renovation can cost big bucks, which is why it’s so important to start with a budget and stick to it.

Whether you decide to update a few key things, or you opt to completely redo your bathroom, be sure to plan and work within the budget you’ve set for yourself. To get started on bathroom remodeling in St. Louis, MO, contact our team at JM Construction / JM Kitchen And Bath by calling (636) 332-6800.
