Basement Game Rooms
Most East Coast homes don’t come with spaces for game and entertainment rooms, especially with a nice wide open-floor theme. Basements are the perfect solution! Pool tables. Foosball. Air hockey. Card tables. Video and board gaming areas. Extra room? Add in a place with HDTVs and comfy couches for music, movies, etc.
- Tons of space for quality time with family and friends.
- Convenient, offering you more time to relax, unwind, and enjoy!
- Thanks to our paneling’s superior sound absorption, the party stays downstairs.

Basement TV & Home Theater Rooms
Basements are an ideal place for your home theater, especially with our wall and ceiling paneling with 85% sound absorption. We can help you optimize the basement space to fit all the furniture and sound gear you have in mind! Whether it’s a large wall-mounted TV or a projection system with full surround sound speakers, we’ll make it perfect!
- Basement home theaters don’t have to worry about as much traffic and interruptions.
- Enjoy a touch of luxury at home that’s both comfortable and convenient.
- Home theaters provide a far better gaming experience.

Basement Playroom Areas
Looking to create a safe, fun, and comfortable place for the kids to play and learn that’s away from the main living spaces? Once again, the basement is an ideal solution. It’s secure, and you can create any kind of space you want: colorful, plenty of storage, space for exercise, tons of kid-friendly furnishings that are washable, etc.
- Check out the playroom we created for celebrity Nancy Kerrigan and her family.
- Our wall paneling is easy to clean, durable, and can take a beating just fine!
- Remember our 85% sound absorption? Yep, the chaos stays downstairs.

Basement Home Gyms
Love fitness and working out but need something more convenient that’s not used by the general public? Your own private gym? Basement gyms can be tailored to your needs! This way, you won’t miss any workouts or need to commute. The Owens Corning Basement Finishing System makes the area clean and safe without requiring upkeep.
- You can blast your workout music without disturbing people upstairs.
- We help you optimize the space for the equipment you want to use.
- Utilize room for cardio, strength, and functional training areas.

Basement Kitchens
When you create a living space in your basement, a kitchen element is a very popular addition. For example, if there’s a gaming area or theater in the basement, being able to get/make food without going up and down stairs is convenient. It also provides lots of extra household storage and increases your property’s value.
- Our specialized certified installers will ensure the whole area looks spectacular.
- Especially valuable if you’re creating a separate independent living space.
- Cook without it impacting the main living areas in your home.

Basement Bedrooms
Adding a completely new basement bedroom is sure to increase overall home value! Maybe you need another room to accommodate visiting family and friends. Maybe you’re looking to rent the space out. Whatever the case is, we’ll design a space that accommodates your vision and the furniture you have planned: beds, dressers, TVs, couches, etc.
- What’s nice is how efficient this bedroom space will be to keep cool or warm.
- Increased levels of privacy away from the main living areas and rooms.
- Could be a much larger room than the ones upstairs, as well.

Home Basement Bars (Wet & Dry)
Looking to optimize your basement space with a bar? Such a great idea to socialize and entertain in your new living area! It helps to create an inviting atmosphere and adds a touch of class. This new dimension to your home will definitely be a centerpiece. Our Owens Corning Basement Finishing System brings everything together.
- We’ve done tons of bars and can help optimize the space you’re working with.
- Your bar will be done by the book, up to code, and with the proper inspections.
- Whether wet or dry, stand-alone, or as part of a large motif, we can help.

Basement Pool Hall
One of the more popular furnishings we see in East Coast basement finishes is the classic pool table. They’re a great way to have fun and create a relaxing atmosphere. They make it so you don’t need to go to busy pool halls or bars. And you don’t have to pay! If you head to our Basement Gallery, you’ll see a few pool tables.
- You can practice as much as you like in privacy with family and friends.
- Our personalized service ensures you get the overall feel and look you want.

Basement Home Offices
Often, homes either don’t have adequate space for an office or none at all. Maybe a nook over there or a tiny desk and chair at the end of the bed. Meanwhile, your basement can provide all the room you need to increase productivity, customize your work area, and increase home value. Real, furnished home offices are highly desirable.
- Escape all the distractions in the main living areas upstairs.
- Take and make calls without having to deal with what’s going on upstairs.

“We went from a mess to a completed project in 3 weeks! I found Lux Renovations after a bad experience with a contractor. The Lux team has restored not only my (now) beautiful basement but my faith in humanity! The entire team (John, Pete, Juan and especially MARIO!) were simply amazing.
