Although we’ve only completed the framing and rough-in electrical work of our basement renovation, I can get a pretty good sense of how the rooms are going to look. We’ve made some adjustments along the way, but careful planning beforehand has definitely paid off. Our original plan looked something like this sketch below. (I will post a new sketch with the revisions at another time, but this at least gives you a sense of our basement layout.)
The entire room that you see at the bottom of the stairs will be our media room. The wall to the left is where we will mount our TV and speakers. We’ve added extra support for the mounting bracket and created boxes to recess the speakers. In addition, all the wiring has been integrated to keep it hidden once drywall goes up.
