10 Basement Remodels and Renovations by Candice Olson

Candice lightens the space with a neutral-colored paint and divides the room up into two main zones: a lounge area and a TV/media area. The lounge area is reminiscent of an old English pub, where the focal point is a new fireplace elevation that features gorgeous earth-toned glass tiles and is flanked with horizontal strips of dark wood rustic flooring. In the media area, a luscious plum-colored sectional with an abundance of pillows in the room's various colors, a creamy leather ottoman and a beautiful area rug create an inviting space for watching TV. To further lighten the space, she adds floor-length mirrors with sconces and a cool art installation of backlit digital photos.
