Toilet Vanity Makeover-Give a big-box store locate a luxury appearance with a coat of paint.
Interior's manager Meg Crossley transformed her dingy basement bathroom with a cheap washstand that she found in Canadian Tire. She painted it the same powdery light blue color as the panel molding, which was installed to brighten up the little space by covering the original dark tile. A painted faade for the facet of the ugly old tub, at the exact same shade of blue, spared Meg the cost of installing a new tub. A black framed mirror, flanked with simple black alloy and milk glass sconces, adds contrast to each of the blue.
Work with existing plumbing.
Placing this bath beside the plumbing shaft left room for a freestanding sink at the little bathroom. New pipes was inserted from the laundry room, along with the HVAC ducts were increased into the ceiling joists to permit for as much headroom as possible.
Sleek Basement-Paint walls a dark and striking colour for a cozy effect.
Stylist Arren Williams' basement was made to be both functional and beautiful. A modern sectional couch in a charcoal fabric can sit lots of individuals while two cane ottomans may be used as side tables or additional seating. To make the ideal setting for movie night, Williams chose a thick, full-height velvet curtain to block out any unwanted light.
Dark TV Area-Accessorize with cheap vintage finds.
It seems counter-intuitive to paint your cellar walls and ceiling in such a darkened color, but stylist Arren Williams kept the space glowing with mood light. The undermount light in the high-gloss storage components highlights our ranges, says Williams. This contemporary design has a manly feel without yelling out bachelor pad.
Vibrant Laundry Room-Pinch pennies with MDF cabinets and add your trim.
H&H senior editor Meg Crossley turned into this unfinished basement laundry area into a laundry oasis. Improper venting supposed the washer and dryer had to be transferred into the opposite wall, in which they're currently concealed by latching doors. Meg also added a convenient sink using a kitchen-worthy faucet, an upper shelf and lower closets for additional storage. A contractor cut door fronts out of MDF, and then Meg additional Shaker trim for a personalized look. To give the cellar an airy atmosphere, the space was painted white. Sico's Light Sugar (4150-11), an obsolete white, makes the ceilings look higher without feeling sterile or cold. The cupboards were painted robin's egg blue to get a country-inspired look.
High-Low Laundry Room-Dress up basic basement closets with vintage drawer pulls.
Designer Theresa Casey renovated her 600-square-foot basement to add an office, guest bedroom and luxe laundry area. She stored on cheap white lacquered cabinetry but added classic grips, a marble countertop, a gallery wall along with a vintage ladder to make the functional space look special.
