RELAXING OASIS
A BRIGHT AND AIRY BASEMENT IS STAGED TO SHOWCASE
A MORE FUNCTIONAL LIVING SPACE.
This small basement was
originally being used mostly for
storage and exercise equipment.
The home was being staged to
sell and the goal was to show
potential buyers how it could be
used to its full design potential.
The basement offered the
benefit of having high ceilings
and plenty of windows so the
layout was planned to keep that
open and airy feeling with the
sofa placed against the wall. It is
the first thing you see when you
come down the stairs.
When designing any room in
your home, especially a
basement with less natural light,
the most important thing is to
have good lighting. If you don't
have pot lights, you want to
make sure that you have enough
table and floor lamps and
consider hanging a ceiling fixture
if there's enough space. In this
basement, the main source of
light is the pot lights but desk
lamps were also added to
provide additional task lighting
for each desk.
