With no windows any room is a
challenge, so being a basement
living area, interesting walls
were a key design element in
this living room.
The fireplace was essential
to bring warmth into the area,
both optically and literally.
A light-colored carpet was
installed to bounce some light
upward and complete the
coziness of the space.

Floating shelves on either
side of the fireplace, and a
textured screen on the large
wall were all used to
make the space feel
more open.
