A T FIRST GLANCE, ONE WOULD NEVER guess this room is a finished basement. With its bright and open feel, well-planned lighting and a tray ceiling that adds an airy touch, this space feels more like an elegant lounge than a lower level.
The area is designed for both entertaining and unwinding. An oversized sofa at one end of the room, with built-ins surrounding the television, invites guests to relax, while the sleek bar island makes gathering with family and friends— in style— effortless.
When the homeowners approached designer Michelle Gannon at Riverhead Building Supply, they had a vision for their space but needed help bringing it to life. Gannon introduced them to materials and finishes that not only matched their style but also offered the durability they wanted.
