Personal Wine Cellar
A wine cellar has to be cool and dark, which makes an unfinished basement an ideal choice. You still have to manage the temperature to always remain around 55 degrees F. So you may have to install a cooling unit. The humidity must be at about 70 percent. Related to that, you definitely can’t have a damp basement for this, so you’ll have to take steps to dry it out and prevent moisture.
Also, it’s important to install a gauge if you plan to use your basement as a wine cellar. Stack your favorite wine bottles on a series of wine shelves or racks to start your collection.

Basement Bedroom
With a couple days of work, you can make your unfinished basement comfortable enough to sleep in without having to fully frame and finish it. First address any moisture concerns by waterproofing the walls and caulking basement windows. And place a dehumidifier in the area where the bed will be positioned. Next, clear the basement of cobwebs and sweep it clean.
Some localities require you to install egress windows, if you plan to use the basement as a bedroom, for proper ventilation and a safe escape route.

Party Room
A large unfinished basement can be used for parties! Since the affair will be for one night only, stage your basement so that it looks completely different for just a few hours. After the basement is thoroughly cleaned and cleared of dust, install a ceiling track room divider with a floor-sweeping heavy curtain to keep any appliances out of view. You might use the same tracks and curtains to cover stone or unpainted walls. With the right lighting effects and of course great music, you could turn your basement into the hottest club on the block.
