Basements : Spaces with Great Potential...

• Basements can be forgotten areas when it comes to renovating or trying to create additional "living space" in your home...because many people think the spaces will be cold and uninviting...

• To me, if you have an open basement, it's all about figuring out how you can use that space creatively..

• My biggest creative advice is to create spaces that you can enjoy using everyday for a home office, craft room, home gym, kid's playroom, TV room, etc...

• So how can you make those spaces warm and inviting (even if you have no windows down there)?....Good lighting options and surrounding yourself with things you love...

• This creative space I designed for a friend's home office/craft room has no windows, but the room seems bright and sunny just the same...Good color on the walls, lighting that creates a mood and things that the homeowners enjoys all around...

• It's all in how you bring in the details to make you feel right at home...
