Cool ideas for a Basement?

[Matt0106]

I'm very stumped on what to do for my basement. I don't know if I want to do something more surreal and out there, or keep it more realistic and home-like. I see that a lot of people do arcades, which would work because I love video games, but that's mostly filled by my main room's entertainment area. Saw others make a bar, but that wouldn't make sense this my house is simply, well, a house.

Does anyone have any interesting ideas on what I could do? I'm open to all kinds of suggestions? For reference, my main room is entertainment, back room is kitchen, right room is bathroom, left room is a room dedicated to villagers and the upstairs is my bedroom.

Thanks!

So I have five houses on my island. Here is what I have for each in the basement:

Sweatshop
Heck (haunted house)
Spa/ laundry room (hotel)
Jaw film set (studio)
island self destruct room ( beach house)

my friend has a full kitchen because it has more room to work with. The basement is 6x10. main room is 8x8. small room is 6x6.

Island surveillance, but you knew that already.

Here's a couple of ideas for you:

• Gym/Bodybuilding room (ie. gym equipment, protein shaker bottles, trophy case, etc.)
• Storage room (ie. shelves, boxes, and a couple of out of season furniture pieces)
• Workshop (ie. tools, toolbox, diy bench, shelves, corkboards, etc.)
• Laundry room (ie. washing machines, clothes baskets, ironing board, pants press, etc.)
• Gardening room (ie. plants/flowers, mushrooms, pillows with fertilizer/mulch patterns, seed bags, etc.)
• Furnace room (ie. brick oven, firewood, pillows with coal bag patterns, etc.)
• Dressing room (ie. favorite clothing displayed, changing room, mirrors, sewing machine, etc.)

I've seen an SCP lab which I wanted to do until I thought of a game room. Or, a normal lab if you're not an SCP fan.

The laundry room is something I've been toying with, perhaps with a bookcase hallway, and a small kitchen to make it feel like a true back-up room.

I made mine a laundromat!

Before that, it's been a bedroom/a place to store excess DIYs

 

[Katzenjammer]

I think an arcade or room full of aquariums would be neat or maybe a mini bar with jacuzzi or something =^.^=

 

[Roxxy]

I have mine as an undersea room with mermaid furniture. Shell stuff looks good too.

Secret casino or lab or something behind a bookcase which adds mystery to your character and island. Otherwise a spare bedroom or laundry are great ideas

 

[BigBadButterfree]

I still need to figure mine out. Currently it's the underwater wall, the lava floor, and a lone ant in the middle with a projector pointed at whoever comes down the stairs to blind them lol

I plan on making mine a wine cellar or bar of some sort. But I have seen plenty of people make a storage/craft room, laundromat, etc.

 

[Aquilla]

I'm turning mine into an aquarium with the craftable underwater wallpaper, lots of Shark/fish models and some fish displayed in their tanks.

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

I'm still figuring mine out. My main character's basement is a workspace, and I might make my alternate's an escape room.

Mine is a beach-witchy room. The rest of my house is realistic, but I wanted the basement to be something a bit more magical. It's kind of fun to be upstairs in "normal" and then go down the stairs and be transported to a tropical beach.

I think a hidden bookcase entrance would actually be really cool! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Oh yes, I’ve seen a wine cellar basement somewhere online. Very interesting!

I’m making mine into a gold vault with all my riches and precious items. I like to think my island is a tax haven, so it works.

 

[amemome]

mine's currently a storage room, but once i clear out my inventory i want to make it into a food pantry! Bags of rice, wine barrels, cheese?! that kind of stuff!

Mine is umm... ahem... a dungeon.

 

[yoohamsta]

I turned mine into a penthouse suite with a balcony. The rest of my house is normal so I wanted to do something else in the basement, like Imbri said it's fun when the rest of your house is normal then you go downstairs and get transported to somewhere totally different.
