- Purpose of renovation was to upgrade and improve functionality of existing bath and games room and modernize look and feel of hallway and bedrooms
- No interior walls were moved
- Existing underused bar area and millwork redesigned with better use of space and improved lighting
- Bath layout incorporated large corner post in millwork to create a balanced feel
Efficient Use of Space
- Underutilized games/pool table room redesigned as comfortable well lit quiet reading and TV room.
- Existing rarely used bathroom redesigned as guest bath to include storage for linen and towels, and large bright walk in shower
Creativity & Finishing Details
- Dark finishes replaced with lighter colours to create more inviting space
- Bedroom outlets converted to switched plugs to improve lighting ergonomics
- Lighting improved in all rooms
- Larger window in bath
- Dark wood finish in cabinets and slate floors offsets lighter paint finishes
- Drop ceiling over toilet area hides existing duct work , this line is mirrored on the floor with pebble tiles to match the shower floor.
- Heated floors in bath and hall took chill off basement feel
