North Potomac Basement
In this North Potomac home we worked on transforming this basement into a spacious spot for entertaining guests and some good old family fun!
We were able to achieve that by completely demoing a huge storage section, moving it to the back wall, adding a new support beam and removing a post.
We gave this space a new layout that improved functionality, some great lighting, new doors/trim, better insulation for the cold winter months, and of course some fun features. Check out the details below including before, during and after photos.
-
Open concept, perfect for entertaining
-
Recessed Refrigerator (used space behind the stairs)
-
Recessed Lighting all around
-
New carpet and trim
-
New framing and insulation for better temp control

This area was part of unfinished storage. We opened it up to create 1 large open space. Removed 1 post that was in the middle of the room by replacing the existing beam. Recessed fridge under the stairs.
