How to Finish Your Basement
Posted by: Melysa In: Basement| Furniture| Ideas| Interior design| New client| Solutions
Mark and Linda Hansen had their priorities straight when wanting to finish their basement with a space where they could relax and entertain guests or hang out with the family and we have helped them do just that. This cozy basement living area with a walk-up bar and fully equip entertainment unit makes an ideal area to have fun or chill out and relax. The focal point of this space is the slate fireplace with comfy bench seating on either side which are topped with pillows for additional comfort and visual warmth. The bench seating doubles as a storage facility for extra pillows and throws. Here is a place where the kids can cozy up with a good book by the fire or just lounge when guest are over. The entertainment unit displays the family’s request for a transitional space.
Displaying clean lines, floating shelves and flat panel surfaces of stained and lacquered walnut, a clean and soothing feeling is what we were after.
The bar highlights glasses in the open upper cabinets with the help of upper pot lights, pot llights also lace the underside of the cabinets to illuminate the granite counter top, the window is encased with a wooden frame to create consistency. At the moment the mark and Linda are deciding on the final details. We will keep you posted as we help them turn their dream into reality.
