Basement Bedroom

This basement bedroom is 9'x13' with less than an 8' ceiling height. A few tricks were used to make it feel bigger than it is.

Setting the tile rug tricks your eye, making the floor space appear bigger than it is.

Creating a wall of built-in cabinetry allowed the room to have a consistent look without feeling "heavy" due to the small window.

Using Roman arches on the egress window and cabinets makes the room height appear higher than it is.

Since the ceiling height is low and the room small, crown molding was used so that your eye follows around the room matching up with the cabinetry, much like a decorative border in a small bath leading into a tile shower.

The final and biggest impact is the addition of the wall-window. "Ground" glass was used here so that light could pass from the egress window, through the wall-window, into the family room. With the addition of this third window and recessed lights, this small bedroom feels much larger and lighter.

As always, if you have any comments or questions about your project don't hesitate to contact us.

Have a Great Day!
