When my client bought this house, the basement was finished with an 8-foot ceiling. They also had custom built-ins made by previous homeowners. My client loves coastal style and wanted to create a relaxed and energized space for the family, where they can unwind themselves at the end of the day.
Client’s wish list included:
Incorporate Coastal style
Accessorize this space with decor pieces and furnishings
This lovely basement had a great potential for creating a beautiful space but lacked coziness. So we added coastal elements that will create a sense of comfort and coziness. As my clients entertain a lot, we decided on a large sectional, which is perfect for this space to fulfill the purpose. Pillows are great way to freshen up your living or family room. We added pillows with beach theme and colors with a throw to make the room feel cozy and bright.
Recessed lighting and a framed window add to the charm and airy ambiance.
Also to make it feel breezy and light up the space, we recommended sisal rug to brighten up the space as this area had dark laminate flooring. Further we chose a light wood coffee table and a side table. To mimic the beach, we decorated the built-ins with some seaside accessories including seagrass and also beach glass for the ledge. My client had a beautiful painting of the a beach dedicated to Veterans which he really loves and decided to display this beautiful painting.
This family room turned out to be the perfect getaway in the evenings, where the whole family can spend time together.
Let us help you with your next project and design/decorate your home the way you always wanted!
