More people are opting to finish their basements than ever before for good reason. Why settle for a cold, dusty cellar when you can have a luxurious space where your family will make memories for years?
At Shack Built, we see an unfinished basement as a blank canvas. When you come to our design-build team for a basement remodel, you can bring your exact vision to life.

If you’re not quite sure how to utilize that square footage, here’s a closer look at some finished basement ideas in Overland Park.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Whether you’re looking to rent out your basement on Airbnb or give your family member their own “mini apartment” within your home, adding a bedroom to your basement is a great (and cost-effective) option.
Bars and Kitchenettes
If your parents or kids have moved in with you, giving them their own kitchen is key to maximizing your multigenerational home’s space. Or, if you’re a wine or beer buff, you can opt for an upscale bar, custom wine cellar, or hidden beer cave.
Entertainment Areas
From luxurious reclining seats and sound systems to cabinetry for snacks—or even a gaming room—you can craft the ultimate escape for your family and guests to enjoy. Now, you can get the theater experience on your terms while boosting your home’s value.
Home Offices
Almost 5 million Americans work from home, and the reality is that working from your couch or bed doesn’t set you up for success. That’s why home offices are one of the most common finished basement ideas in Overland Park—you can build a relaxing, soundproof space to focus.
Playrooms and Storage
There are almost 60,000 storage facilities in the U.S. alone, and the 10% of families who opt for these units spend hundreds of dollars a month.
Creating a playroom with ample storage gives your kids a space to practice their problem-solving and creative skills while you get some work done—especially when you insulate it for sound absorption. Independent play is crucial for kids of all ages—and it’s good for the parents to catch a break, too.
Home Gyms
We get it—gym anxiety or “gymtimidation” can make squeezing a workout into your routine even more of a challenge. Opting for a basement gym—big or small—removes the unnecessary drive and the chit-chat.
