For this project , the homeowners wanted to convert their single family home into a duplex with a lower level 2 bedroom executive suite that could be rented out for additional income . In a basement suite like this one , it is important to maximize use of space and available lighting to create an open , airy and highly functional home . Extra large egress windows , a large open concept kitchen and a light , neutral color palette are key to ensuring the suite feels large and inviting .
In the living room , a shiplap feature wall with a fireplace insert creates the perfect place to cozy up and watch a movie . The space is designed to house a wall mounted TV and includes a hidden outlet for a seamless finish . Those little details help to improve the functionality of the unit as well !
To add visual interest and contrast in the neutral space , matte black finishes where used . Black accents such as the interior doors and bedroom feature walls tie the look together for a modern yet homey feel . Despite being located on the lower level , the suite feels sunny and inviting .
