Remodeling and finishing your basement can provide your family with a comfortable area to gather and socialize. However, you often must decide which type of basement flooring would most effectively accommodate your design preferences and basement needs. If you are interested in a designing a finished Denver basement, you should learn about the best basement flooring options from which you can choose.  

• Vinyl:  The top Denver remodeling companies can install vinyl into your basement. Many benefits accompany the use of vinyl tiles or sheets. The surface and texture of vinyl is generally more soft and pleasant than other harder stone tile options. Whereas harder tiles might make it uncomfortable to maneuver on the floor, the soft texture makes vinyl very conducive for basements. Using vinyl can allow you to walk around the floor barefooted, enable your family to sit on the floor while watching movies, and permit your children to run around and play games on the floor. The vinyl is also typically warmer than other options. Because the lower level of basements can get cold and chilly, having a warmer floor can enhance the comfortable experience of relaxing or socializing in the basement.  
• Laminate: You can also utilize laminate for your finished Denver basement floor. Laminate is especially appealing because it displays the natural and rustic appearance of wood without facilitating the same hazards of wood. For instance, the moisture resistant feature of laminate is highly advantageous for basements. Basements are vulnerable to encounter moisture from leaks, floods, humidity, or water seeping up from the foundation. Whereas the frequent exposure to moisture can damage and warp traditional hardwood, laminate is extremely water-resistant and can withstand exorbitant levels of moisture. As a result, laminate displays an attractive and natural appearance while also preventing the floor from incurring any liquid stains or moisture damages.
• Carpeting:  Carpeting is another material often used in basements. Carpeting is the most affordable option and is relatively easy to install. The soft material can also add insulation, increase the warmth in the area, and make it comfortable to sit and walk on the floor. However, the carpet material can be severely damaged by the high moisture levels that basements experience.  Carpeting is generally not moisture resistant. High humidity levels, liquid spills, and common leaks can instigate stains and damages that are difficult to remove and that might require you to frequently have the carpet replaced. As a result, carpeting can be an effective choice if your basement is generally safe from experiencing high humidity or moisture levels.  
• Engineered Wood:  The top Denver remodeling companies can also install engineered wood in your basement. As opposed to traditional wood, engineered floors enable the experts to manufacture, seal, and prefinish the wood boards off-site. You can also have the professionals install the engineered wood as a floating floor. Floating floors do not need to be glued or nailed to the substrate. This is especially ideal for basements because the floors can be easily and quickly installed on any type of basement subfloor. The moisture and temperature-resistant quality of engineered wood is also optimal for basements. The engineered wood can remain intact and avoid shrinking, warping, or cracking when exposed to high moisture levels or dramatic temperature fluctuations.

As you explore kitchen remodel Denver ideas, optimizing storage space is key. By making the most of even the smallest of places, you can really make a difference. Plus, remodeling for appearance and convenience can increase the value of your home. Here are four ways to maximize your storage space for your kitchen!

1. Drawer Space: How many times have you lost something in the lazy Susan or in a giant drawer? Consider organizing and optimizing your drawer space. For your utensil drawers, spice racks and other areas, instead of placing everything all together; add in separators and additional shelves so you can maximize space vertically and horizontally. This will make it much easier to access various items. For an alternative to the lazy Susan, invest in corner drawers. This will allow you to take advantage of more storage space in your kitchen without the dreaded search for the items that fell!
2. Creative Storage for Appliances and More: While you may use your blender, toaster and other kitchen appliances often, but do not have anywhere to put them as your kitchen currently stands, consider building storage space for them in your remodel project. Add on additional cabinet space to store them in, or create a storage solution on your counter that even have an electrical outlet close by to allow you to quickly plug in the appliance you need, use and store all in one convenient location. You can do this with your trashcan as well! Have your remodel company build in a drawer that slides out for your trashcan that even includes space for trash bags. This will keep this heavily used item out of side but easily accessible.
3. Pantry Ideas: The pantry is often one of the easiest storage spaces in the kitchen that can quickly spiral out of control! How many times have you gone to reach for something and knocked everything over? Or just could not find what you were looking for? During your remodel, give your pantry a makeover that will have it work for you. Add in plenty of shelves to allow you maximize space, and consider investing in pullout drawers and/or step risers to easily be able to identify the items you are looking for. If your pantry is inside of a full-size door, you can also put your spices on the inside of the pantry door. In general, rack shelving is a great idea too inside of a pantry for quick easy access.

4. Pots, Pans, Tupperware and More!: It always seems that it is hard to find the lid that matches a pot, pan or piece of Tupperware. During your kitchen remodel, build in spaces for each of these items. Backs of doors and cabinets can hold pot and pan lids, or you can also buy separators to store them in drawers. You can also build in separators for your Tupperware too and drawer space that accommodates all of the sizes.

As you begin to plan your next home remodeling in Denver project, it is important to take three elements into consideration: Light, colors and space. By having the right balance of all three in your home, you can make a small space look larger and a dark space look brighter! Just a few of these key elements can really transform a space, multiple rooms or even the entire home.

• Layout and Decor: Decorating your newly remodeled space is important to get right! It is an opportunity to start fresh with an uncluttered and well-organized space. Choose multipurpose furniture to allow you to store items or organize the items you use every day. If you remodel your home to have an open floor plan, ensure your kitchen and living room seamlessly flow into each other and are consistent. Many use Feng Shui decorating tips to align your home with their energy! Real Simple has great tips if you would like to consider Feng Shui for your remodel.
• Lighting: You can use three different types of lighting in your home remodel to set the look, feel and mood you want. First is targeted lighting. This type of lighting will illuminate a specific area such as kitchen cabinet lighting, office lights or lamps. These are used in specific areas of the home that help you with certain tasks. Second and similar to targeted lighting is accent lighting. This type of light is ideal to accent a feature of your home, whether it is over a piece of art, plants, accent walls or other areas to target. Last is ambient lighting. This is the type of lighting that sets the overall mood of a room. You can remodel your home with ceiling-mounted lighting or recessed lighting as well as lamps. Look into purchasing a dimmer unit to allow you to change the type of lighting to quickly change the different type of setting you would like in your home. Learn more about lighting styles for your home from HGTV.
• Color: When painting the walls of your home, it is important to stay within the same shades when using multiple colors. If you would like to use darker colors, it is better to use them in larger rooms. Another option to keep a larger (or smaller) space balanced and still use a dark color is to pant an accent wall. If you have a small room, painting it a lighter shade of the color you desire will help to make the room look larger. This also applies to the accents and décor you are using. So if you have a small bathroom, consider lighter paint colors, cabinets and counters and décor.

When you decide to update your kitchen for your home remodeling in Denver, it is a great time to also update your organization structure. Why not rearrange some things with new ideas to make things easier? Below are organization tips for your new kitchen!

1. Think Vertical….or Horizontal: If you are working with a kitchen that is low on space, you must be creative and efficient with it. Plus, it can be such a nuisance to arrange all your spices, bottles, etc in a cabinet and knock everything over when you need something! Utilize space by using a lazy Susan. They are available in a variety of sizes and shelf amounts, so you can use them in any of your cabinets to make items more accessible. Another option to consider is roll out shelves. So you are able to organize items and then roll them out to find the items you need. Last, you can also work with your remodel company to help make built-in options in doors or other areas to place spices, cleaning supplies, etc. The back of the pantry door could be a great spice rack or place to hang utensils!
2. Appropriate Shelves and Heights: When changing a kitchen for efficiency, many homeowners don’t have the appropriate storage for their dishes. Often times, shelves may be missing, or there is a general issue of wasted space. One way to resolve this issue is to purchase stacking kits so you can stack many different types of dishes in one place. Another idea is to coordinate with the company handling your kitchen remodel. You can work with them and share with them all the different types of dishes you have so they can create a solution that works with them.
3. Divider Bins: Raise your hand if you are already exhausted thinking about matching up Tupperware lids to containers!  Or, are your pot and pan lids everywhere? If you have so many mismatched Tupperware lids, it may be a good idea to start fresh and buy a new set. Then, utilize bin dividers or have your remodel company build in some options so different size lids and be separate, and the containers themselves can also be easily accessible. For pot and pan lids, lid racks have a great space saving design that makes them easily accessible! Last, organize cutlery, serving utensils and more with divider bins. It will keep items separated and make things so much easier during food prep.
