This basement renovation was designed for a returning client’s close friend who wanted to transform an unfinished space into a multi-functional retreat. The layout includes a cozy entertainment area with a bar, a gym, a guest suite for a future au pair, and a full bath. Rich dark-stained oak cabinetry with a reeded detail anchors the bar area, while a brass antique glass backsplash adds a touch of glam the clients adore.

Leather swivel chairs and a cowhide rug bring a sophisticated parlor feel, perfect for intimate gatherings. The adjoining TV area features cozy yet durable furnishings ideal for everyday lounging, while the gym, guest bedroom, and striking blue-and-brass bathroom complete this stylish and versatile lower level.
