Basements are usually converted into cellars, gyms, or even storage rooms. If you have a basement, you might as well turn it into a hangout place. Would not it be nice if you can have a hangout place right beneath your house? You do not have to go to the mall or the park if you want to kill time and enjoy leisure. Here are some awesome stuff to include in your basement hangout. 

• A ping pong table – Do you love playing ping pong? Why not have your own ping pong table. Ping pong, or table tennis, might have simple rules. Nevertheless, games can really be intense and competitive. The good thing about ping pong tables is that they do not require a big basement. 

• A pool table – You might also want to consider having a pool table. Pool is not only popular among men but with women as well. Thus, if you have some guests, you can always challenge them in a game of pool. Pool tables are among the most common items seen in a basement. 

• A collection of board games – You must also have a collection of board games. At least, you need to have the most popular games like chess, checkers, and Scrabble. But if you are a board game geek, then you might also want to get board games such as D and D, Risk, and Monopoly. Also consider storing card games. These can be handy especially during sleepovers.

• A snacks cabinet – Chilling in your basement hangout can be a lot more fun if you have a snacks cabinet or a food shelf. This is so that you would not have to go up to your kitchen and get some snacks from the fridge or from the pantry. 

• A set of comfy furniture – Of course, you need to have a comfy set of furniture. At least have one couch where you can lay down and chill. Other suggestions include bean bag chairs, which are perfect for gaming, and a hammock on which you can doze off. 

• A big TV set – Most people consider their basement hangouts as private home theatres. It is always nice to have a television set in your basement hangout. Watch your favorite shows while chilling on your favorite couch. It would be a lot better if your TV has cable connection or at least has connection to a DVD player. 

• A karaoke machine – Karaoke has always been enjoyable. Everybody loves to sing no matter how good they are at it. Thus, having a karaoke stored in your basement hangout can really come in handy especially if there are guests. Karaoke competition anyone? And since basements are enclosed, you do not need to worry about neighbors ranting about the noise. 

Having a basement hangout is definitely a good idea. But of course, you have to be aware that most basements are susceptible to water leaks. Well, in order to ensure that your basement is waterproof, you can count on the services of Basement Bro.
