This Transitional Basement Features a wet bar with full size refrigerator, guest suite with full bath, and home gym area. The homeowners wanted a coastal feel for their space and bathroom since it will be right off of their pool.

A warm and inviting basement offers ample seating for family gatherings or an ultimate movie night. Custom built-in seating and custom artwork personalizes a comfortable space. A ceiling accent with plenty of lighting elevates the basement.

Having lived in their new home for several years, these homeowners were ready to finish their basement and transform it into a multi-purpose space where they could mix and mingle with family and friends. Inspired by clean lines and neutral tones, the style can be described as well-dressed rustic. Despite being a lower level, the space is flooded with natural light, adding to its appeal. Central to the space is this amazing bar. To the left of the bar is the theater area, the other end is home to the game area. Jake Boyd Photo

The drop ceiling in the general area was removed and the joists were painted black. In the kitchenette area the drop ceiling remained but was painted the same black. All the cabinets were moved to take out the peninsula and create an island.

This floor-to-ceiling basement remodel is complete with new, luxury vinyl plank floors, recessed lighting, finished and painted walls, drop ceiling, storage closets, and a full bathroom.

Stone veneered Bar with Granite Counter tops. Full service wet bar. Mirrored mosaic tile backsplash behind the sink. Wood wrapped column matching cabinet color. Tin ceiling above bar area. Combination of drop ceiling and drywall finished.

New lighting was installed and new windows were installed with one additional window being added to the bathroom to give the basement more lighting generally.

For this finished basement we did the design, engineering, remodeling, and installations. The basement was finished to a basic level by the builder. We designed and custom-built the wet bar, the wine cellar, the reclaimed wood beams, all the stonework and the new dividing wall. We also added the mirrored niches for the liquor display just outside the wine cellar and which are visible by the bar. We repaired the floor in places where needed.

The combination of the fireplace and built-ins create a beautiful focal point in this basement with plenty of room to hide toys. The open shelves and light colours keeps the room feeling fresh. Add a couple of feather pillows and faux fur throw to bring texture, colour and pattern into the space.

When my client had to move from her company office to work at home, she set up in the dining room. Despite her best efforts, this was not the long-term solution she was looking for. My client realized she needed a dedicated space not on the main floor of the home. On one hand, having your office space right next to the kitchen is handy. On the other hand, it made separating work and home life was not that easy. The house was a ranch. In essence, the basement would run entire length of the home. As we came down the steps, we entered a time capsule. The house was built in the 1950’s. The walls were covered with original knotty pine paneling. There was a wood burning fireplace and considering this was a basement, high ceilings. In addition, there was everything her family could not store at their own homes. As we wound though the space, I though “wow this has potential”, Eventually, after walking through the laundry room we came to a small nicely lit room. This would be the office. My client looked at me and asked what I thought. Undoubtedly, I said, this can be a great workspace, but do you really want to walk through this basement and laundry to get here? Without reservation, my client said where do we start? Once the design was in place, we started the renovation. The knotty pine paneling had to go. Specifically, to add some insulation and control the dampness and humidity. The laundry room wall was relocated to create a hallway to the office. At the far end of the room, we designated a workout zone. Weights, mats, exercise bike and television are at the ready for morning or afternoon workouts. The space can be concealed by a folding screen for party time. Doors to an old closet under the stairs were relocated to the workout area for hidden storage. Now we had nice wall for a beautiful console and mirror for storage and serving during parties. In order to add architectural details, we covered the old ugly support columns with simple recessed millwork panels. This detail created a visual division between the bar area and the seating area in front of the fireplace. The old red brick on the fireplace surround was replaced with stack stone. A mantle was made from reclaimed wood. Additional reclaimed wood floating shelves left and right of the fireplace provides decorative display while maintaining a rustic element balancing the copper end table and leather swivel rocker. We found an amazing rug which tied all of the colors together further defining the gathering space. Russet and burnt orange became the accent color unifying each space. With a bit of whimsy, a rather unusual light fixture which looks like roots from a tree growing through the ceiling is a conversation piece. The office space is quite and removed from the main part of the basement. There is a desk large enough for multiple screens, a small bookcase holding office supplies and a comfortable chair for conference calls. Because working from home requires many online meetings, we added a shiplap wall painted in Hale Navy to contrast with the orange fabric on the chair. We finished the décor with a painting from my client’s father. This is the background online visitors will see. The last and best part of the renovation is the beautiful bar. My client is an avid collector of wine. She already had the EuroCave refrigerator, so I incorporated it into the design. The cabinets are painted Temptation Grey from Benjamin Moore. The counter tops are my favorite hard working quartzite Brown Fantasy. The backsplash is a combination of rustic wood and old tin ceiling like porcelain tiles. Together with the textures of the reclaimed wood and hide poofs balanced against the smooth finish of the cabinets, we created a comfortable luxury for relaxing. There is ample storage for bottles, cans, glasses, and anything else you can think of for a great party. In addition to the wine storage, we incorporated a beverage refrigerator, an ice maker, and a sink. Floating shelves with integrated lighting illuminate the back bar. The raised height of the front bar provides the perfect wine tasting and paring spot. I especially love the pendant lights which look like wine glasses. Finally, I selected carpet for the stairs and office. It is perfect for noise reduction. Meanwhile for the overall flooring, I specifically selected a high-performance vinyl plank floor. We often use this product as it is perfect to install on a concrete floor. It is soft to walk on, easy to clean and does not reduce the overall height of the space.
