For families with school-age children a "rec" room is a must. Kids can have a place to entertain friends and enjoy their toys without disrupting your more formal rooms. A computer area can be located here for a home office, homework and surfing. Hobbies can be planned for and custom areas layed out for them.

Include an area for an extra tv and games (along with needed storage) here for the younger set - their own place to spread out and be themselves. Pool tables are a colorful, relaxing addition that can entertain the whole family and guests when entertaining. A wet bar can also be installed for additional entertainment room and easy cleanup after refreshments.

Perhaps the perfect answer for your unused basement space is a work out area complete with hot tub. Merrick Design and Build can find the perfect remodeling solutions for all your interests. The choice is yours to turn that forgotten space into a fun recreation room for any age group.
