Project Title:

Traditional and comfortable basement bar and living room

Project Description:

Looking to build out a more comfortable living space and bar area in the basement including a kegerator, small/under counter refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and additional tv along wall adjacent to bathroom to access plumbing. We would like to remove the carpet in the bar area and lay down hardwood or alternate flooring (we are open to anything). Be great if the bar had some stone/brick accents. For the rest of the space, we'd like to keep our current couches and tables, but everything else is fair game. Also would like to see ceiling elevation changes throughout the space to create a homey/cozy feel.

Basement Living Room ColorsBasement Living Room

Since your room gets little sunlight a warm or rich color will make the room look more luminous

For your main color, we chose to use gray because it is neutral and seen as elegant and classy. It compliments many colors such as white, blue, and yellow and works well as part of a color scheme in any room.

Use an eggshell finish paint which has a very light touch of shine (similar texture to an eggshell as implied by its name). This finish is very often used for walls and is more durable and easier to clean than matte finish
