In today’s world; Basements are being re-utilized, re-purposed and sometimes converted into in-law suites. Both Laila & Maher’s parents live overseas and often visit so why not give them a space where everyone can coincide. Homeowners’ request: We want at least 2 rooms, a large laundry room, an office, a play area, movie night area with a large sectional a bathroom and loads of storage – Yikes that’s a big wish list for only 1000 square feet, including the furnace room space. Designer secret: Separating the bedrooms for the In-laws to the east side , the office and living space to the west side and creating a large central bathroom with extra long storage and a corridor with-in, I was able to turn this once gloomy and dingy basement into a family retreat . Light colors, durable waterproof VCT flooring, larger egress windows and better LED lighting enhances the space and opens the space so no one feels like they live underground. I also kept the open staircase in it’s space to minimize costs put gave it a face lift by painting all spindles and supports white and staining the stair treads to match floor. Materials used: FLOOR; VCT vinyl 6mm floating floor 6” x 48” color walnut - WALL PAINT; 6206-21 Sketch paper – WALL SCONCE ; Parallax with Edison bulbs – STAIRS; Sanded, stained special walnut with a satin finish – DOORS & MOLDING; colonial by Boiserie Raymond - MEDIA UNIT; Ikea Besta – FURNITURE & DECOR; By client.

Mediterranean Basement with Grey Walls 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 mediterranean 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 mediterranean basement ideas such as home cinemas, gyms and spas, man caves or pool rooms.

What type of home is suitable for a mediterranean basement conversion?

A mediterranean 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 mediterranean 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 mediterranean 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 mediterranean 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. Start browsing through the photos on Houzz to get some mediterranean basement ideas and inspiration. You can start saving your favourite photos to ideabooks and then contact professionals that have worked on projects you like.
