Basements are a popular choice for property owners in Dubai who need more comfortable spaces to live in. Getting a conversion done allows property owners to add any new functional room.
Many Dubai residents use this new space to have an extra bedroom for guests, a spacious family room or a bespoke kitchen, but if you do not need these rooms, you can think about more luxurious solutions. Here are Nu Projects Dubai’s top tips on high-end basement fit-outs!
1. Pool
The past year has taught us a good lesson about healthcare and wellness.

Getting a double-height basement done in Dubai has multiple benefits; it will allow you to have a basement pool, so you can go for a swim in the comfort of your home (who needs a beach anyway?), and it will increase the resell value of your property.
2. Spa or Steam Rooms
When it comes to comfort, owning a spa is top on the list. With the right insulation and technique, you can install saunas, steam rooms or even hot tubs in your Dubai basement.

3. Gym
Investing in your health is always beneficial!
If you lack the time or are not comfortable exercising in open gyms, a basement gym is a perfect investment for you. This tailor-made solution allows you to have a private fitness studio in your Dubai home.
4. Cinema Room
Rectangular basement rooms have the perfect acoustics for cinema or movie rooms.
With the right contractors and THX professionals, you can have a well-performing cinema room starting from 3.5m x 3m.

5. Hobby Room
If your hobbies include creating music, playing the pool or video gaming, you are familiar with the need for space.
You can create a high-end music room or set up a games room in your basement, adding an intimate ambience with led lights or fun decoration items that align with the room's function.
6. Party Room
No boring parties here! If you like hosting house parties or having guests over, convert your basement to a party room!
Include a basement bar, a pool table, a table football, a dance floor with a top-notch audio system. When it comes to fit-out, aim for a stylish yet intimate interior.
