Elkhorn Lake House Lower Level

A Functional and Fun Walkout Basement

This home’s walkout basement needed a lot of TLC to turn a dark, drab basement into a bright, engaging space for the whole family. The newly renovated lower level includes an open entertaining space, a recreation room, a four-seasons room, a full bath, and a storage and mechanical room.

Creating a Cohesive Entertaining Space

We created a chevron pattern with porcelain floor tile throughout the recreation and four-seasons rooms to help brighten the room and add visual interest and continuity to the space. New windows with fully renovated trim, crown molding, and a pair of French doors open up to the backyard dock while a cozy brick fireplace anchors the room.

We added a full wet bar, with a sink, beverage center, and floating wine rack to the recreation room make entertaining a breeze. Ample storage including a series of floating shelves above the bar and built-in media shelves prevent clutter and offer a chic alternative to traditional storage.

The Lower-Level Full Bath

To ensure we maximized the space in the lower level, we added a full bathroom with tiled shower, floating vanity, and intricate tile work. A full linen cabinet adds extra storage while matte black fixtures and hardware offer continuity with the other bathrooms in the home.
