The support columns were integrated into the half wall bar. Dark wood was used to offset the stark white columns and dark granite countertop on one side of the wall. Comfortable, stylish bar stools with wooden backs and leather seats were set up along the half wall bar, making convenient seating for either watching the TV, having a drink with friends, or working on your laptop. The seating matches the dark wood of the wall, making it feel like one piece. Line of glass panels provide plenty of natural lighting as well as a gorgeous view into the back yard, which you can access through one of the sliding doors. Recessed lighting and smart hanging light fixtures were also added to make up the difference in lighting on rainy/cloudy days and for evening gatherings/activities. Gorgeous dark wood flooring was installed to match the dark wood of the half-wall bar and other accents in the room. The walls and ceiling match the support columns with a stark white, helping to keep the space bright – which is especially helpful when using the space for work purposes.

Bishops Park. Plank in colour Gainsboro

Cheville Parquet

Cheville plank smoked and finished in a metallic oil. The metallic finish reflects the light, so you see different tones at different times of the day, or depending on how the light is hitting it. The client specified Versailles tile in the reception room, planks in the basement, and clad the staircase in the same wood with a matching nosing. Everything matched perfectly, we offer any design in any colour at Cheville. Each block is hand finished in a hard wax oil. Compatible with under floor heating. Blocks are engineered, tongue and grooved on all 4 sides, supplied pre-finished. Cheville also finished the bespoke staircase in a matching colour.

Grey Basement with Medium Hardwood Flooring Ideas and Designs

In an age where space is at a premium, the newest trend in urban home renovation is the basement conversion, allowing a homeowner to increase the square footage of their home without increasing their plot size or reducing the size of their garden. Basement excavations and constructions can provide an extra floor of living space and with modern construction techniques a basement can become a bright, warm and airy heart of your home. An increasing number of us are transforming this previously wasted space into an awe inspiring kitchen or living area, whilst those seeking to create a real luxury addition to their home are opting for basement ideas such as home cinemas, gyms and spas, man caves or pool rooms.

What type of home is suitable for a basement conversion?

A basement conversion is particularly suitable for urban homes on small plots and can offer the perfect solution for extending a terraced or semi-detached urban home. Whilst it is typically more costly to convert a basement than to complete a loft conversion or extension, for those that have already completed these renovations or where even more space is required, extending below ground can be the best option. The best candidates are homes with an existing cellar and it is just a case of deepening or expanding the existing space. If you don't have a cellar, a retro-fit basement can be created but a project of this magnitude will require additional time and money.

What room should I turn my basement or cellar into?

The proximity of the basement conversion to the living areas and internal infrastructure of the house make it ideal for additional living, recreational and utility rooms. It can also lend itself well to creating an entirely separate, self-contained annexe or apartment. If you’re just extending your house for some extra space to play with, the basement ideas you could have are the stuff of dreams: home gyms, snooker rooms, wine cellars, home bars and indoor swimming pools are among the most exciting uses.

How should I tackle a cellar or basement conversion?

The best thing to do is contact a professional to assess how feasible it will be to have a basement conversion or excavation in your home. There’s no point looking at lots of basement ideas if it would actually be structurally impossible to install a basement room. You should also check what permissions and consents you will need before beginning a project like this – a basement conversion can be very disruptive for you and neighbours so you need to make sure you are legally allowed to go ahead with the conversion first. Your chosen contractors will then need to underpin foundations for support, completely waterproof the basement and build in the internal walls. Then, all the finishing touches, staircases, flooring and electrics will need to be completed. Remember to consider internal balconies or mezzanines, as well as light wells and perhaps sunken terraces outside of the basement to introduce as much light as possible.
