Finish a Basement
Turn an unfinished basement into a room.
What it does
Basements fail on ceiling height and daylight, not on decorating. This finishes the space honestly — including what a low ceiling actually looks like once it is lined — so the decision gets made against something realistic.
How to use it
- 1Photograph the space with the ceiling and any window in frame.
- 2Say what the room is for.
- 3Note the ceiling height; it changes what is worth doing.
Questions
- Will it show my actual ceiling height?
- It works from the photo, so a low ceiling reads as a low ceiling. That is the useful part.
- Can it show exposed services?
- Yes — painted joists and visible ductwork is often the better answer under 7ft 6in.
