Have you prepared for MARCH MADNESS yet? Would you be interested in finishing your sports basement? Finished Basement Plus has been busy helping people prepare for Super Bowl LV and March Madness basketball (we won’t ask which team you are rooting for at March Madness this year, so we won’t have anything against you). When you’re finishing your sports-themed basement, you need to make it a reflection of your personality and be sure that you show off your favorite team and your family’s. When there are no internal rivalries, compromise is not necessary.
Incorporating a Sports-Themed Basement?
Whenever you envision your new sports-themed basement, the first thing you should think about is how you will watch games. There is no doubt that a large television should be incorporated into the decor and surround sound may be obvious. You will be able to watch old games and even your favorite movies in your new home theater during the off-season.
It may not be the best option for you financially or even in terms of space if you have decor or memorabilia to display. It is also possible to use a projector with an easily removable projector screen. With a projector, you can keep that home-theater vibe when you need it/want it while still having space for other things.
A grown-up sports basement decor idea
Sports basement decorating ideas shouldn’t make your space look like a tailgate party. Michigan State OR the University of Michigan is your home team (We aren’t picking sides. We all know which team is the best). Keep it classy by using sports-themed colors rather than having school logos everywhere. As an adult homeowner, I want to create a place to relax while watching the game, not a dorm with Cup-O-Noodles for college kids.
Include the colors of your favorite college or professional team in the decor of your sports-themed basement. Consider incorporating team colors into solid pieces such as couches, chairs, or more subtle accessories like pillows, rugs, blankets, etc. If you want to decorate your space with blue and maize/gold OR green and white pillows, you can easily find them.
Ideas for Basement Sports Bars
Without something to drink, what is a sporting event? Drinking something cold while watching a game seems to be a good idea. Is that right? There’s just something about a cold beverage that makes the game better, even if you prefer non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, it keeps you hydrated after a round of screaming and yelling.
Basement bars provide you with the upgrade you need to turn your living room into a true sports-themed basement, turning it from just a casual living room where you watch the game to a true sports bar. You could have a bar built into your space that includes some of your favorite beverages, liquors, mixers, etc., along with a mini-fridge housing your favorite beers and sodas. Alternatively, you may want to keep a beverage cart in a corner for when you need it and pull it out when needed.
Basement office with a sports theme
Let’s say you want your newly finished basement to serve as your new office, and you want it to be sports-themed. You can create the office space you want and express your die-hard fandom for your favorite team with accessories in this space. In case your office has a lounge space, you can make use of it creatively. A bookshelf is an easy way to display memorabilia in your office. As a result, the bookshelf serves two purposes.
Show your pride for your alma mater and/or favorite team(s) by displaying your books or materials related to your work. A little creativity can turn your pride into more than just a coffee mug on your desk. Sports-themed basements are expressions of one of the most important things in your life: athletic loyalty. No matter if you want to spice up your new office with some memorabilia or host the next March Madness party.
