For basements that need more than a fresh coat of paint, the Basement Design Guide is a great place to start. This book offers step-by-step instructions on designing and planning the project, as well... This description may be from another edition of this product.
We are in the "dreaming" phase of our basement remodel. I checked this book out from our local library along with 6 others and this was, by far, the best of the bunch. It provides you with a ton of different pics of basements with a variety of design purposes (i.e. media room, workout space, playroom, bedroom, etc.). In addition, it clearly outlines valuable points to consider with each aspect of the design (e.g. the pros and cons of each flooring choice). I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about remodeling their space and needs to see possible ideas to flesh out exactly what they want before contacting a contractor or architect. This book is truly a lifesaver...I even bought my own copy after I couldn't renew it from the library any more!!
