Modern, Moody Basement: A Netflix Deep Dive

How do you make a basement…not look like a basement? 

It’s all in adding a designer touch. Season 3 of Dream Home Makeover introduced us to Andrea, Bobby, and their family — each with a unique spin on the vision for their basement remodel. In this webisode, Shea talks us through a few creative solutions for the challenges presented with this space, from low ceilings to incorporating the family’s multiple requests. In the end, it truly felt like home for everyone.

The area behind the fireplace was a perfect opportunity for built-in cabinetry and a kitchenette, providing them with a place to set drinks, food, and entertaining essentials.

The lounge area features two inky blue chaise lounges for them to lay back and kick their feet up. The chairs face a cast-concrete fireplace as a hearth, accompanied by a seated nook on the right to round off the asymmetrical layout.
