Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.
If your basement is more humble than huge, you may wonder if there’s anything you can actually do with the space. Is a basement renovation worth it when your lowest level has a small footprint? In nearly every case, the answer is a resounding, “Yes!”
As you can see from our gallery, your small basement ideas are limited only by your imagination. Scroll through to discover how you can creatively reclaim every inch of your home’s valuable square footage.
1. Bar
A great basement bar doesn’t require much floor space. In fact, one wall or corner in a finished basement family room is enough to create a wet bar that will quickly become everyone’s favorite gathering spot.
If beer is your thing, add a countertop beer tap. If you love wine, add a small wine cellar cabinet or wine cooler to your bar or man cave.

Let your basement bar ideas express your personality. Create a replica of a classic British pub or go for a retro bar theme. Add lighting to shelving to enhance that classic bar ambiance when night falls.
Antique neon signs are a great way to add personality and perhaps traveling memories to your basement bar décor.
2. Bathroom
No matter what you plan to do with the rest of your small basement space, you should try to leave enough square footage for a bathroom.
Even if it’s just a half bath, everyone will appreciate not having to climb the basement stairs to use the facilities. A toilet and a small pedestal sink are sufficient for a small basement space.
