In keeping with the Glam Modern look of the basement the three zones were styled in very unique ways giving each zone its own identity. The Media Zone was styled to keep it light and bright with accents of white, and touches of faux fur, velvet and shag rug. The Fireplace Zone was styled to elicit a moody, cozy feeling with dark colors in the Barcelona chairs and the black cow hide rug. The Custom bar in the room was flamboyant hence we kept the other two zones calm and serene.

Lots of texture was used to style the space with faux fur, velvet and shag in the soft furnishings, while we used pewter in the hard furnishings like the vase and and magnifying glass to match the sconces, fireplace bezel, pot light trim and bar foot rail. The exquisite mother of pearl tray was the perfect accessory to style the ottoman and hold an assortment of silk peonies.

Custom Display Cabinets were built to house the client's impressive 300+ collection of miniatures collected over 20 years. The cabinets featured a glass front, glass shelves and LED lighting turning them into pure ART. All wood cabinetry built in this space has been stained the exactly same color with the same molding design to provide a seamless look to the space. All trim which includes baseboard and casing was upgraded to modern style extra high and extra thick.

A Modern Linear Fireplace was installed to keeps the clients cozy during marathon movie sessions. The walls were tiled with textured metallic finish tiles topped off with a custom metal bezel. The same tiles were used at the bar to provide a sense of continuity. The entire floor was covered with wide plank laminate flooring.
The cow hide was selected after going through 100+ skins to find the perfect one for the space. This one was selected as the black matched the chairs and the brown hints in the center reflected the brown in the laminate flooring. The sheen of the fur brought out the metallic finish in the tiled fireplace wall.
