PROJECT FEATURE
Transforming a basement into a stylish retreat.
Featuring a posh hidden pantry and a sleek media console, this basement was transformed into a luxurious, seamless, and functional entertainment retreat.
Renowned designers Michel Smith Boyd and Jerel Lake were tasked with upgrading a traditional basement design into a luxury retreat equipped with all the essentials for hosting and entertaining — even a posh hidden pantry that adds to the lounge’s footprint. Most importantly, the updated space had to work and be beautiful in this busy home.
How did they deliver the customer’s vision?
THE LUJO® COLLECTION
With luxury woodgrains from The LUJO® Collection. The High Line design can be found on nearly every vertical surface, including wall panels, doors, cabinets, drawers, and auxiliary spaces. It delivers a versatile, laid-back aesthetic with clean, straight grain and subtle detailing that is perfect for understated elegance.
High Line is the superior choice for this luxury environment. Vertical graining provides a graceful consistency throughout the space beyond the woodgrain applications. Notice the vertical light fixtures above the sink area? Or the vertical construction of the barstools? All of the designers’ choices come together to inspire a cohesive, calming atmosphere.
PREMIUM FINISH
A linear woodgrain textured finish further emphasizes the straight graining of High Line. The premium finish features varied widths of narrow grain structures in an alternating mix of matte and gloss surface areas. The results? An elevated neutral design that offers added dimension, visual movement, and a tactile experience. It not only looks like real wood, but feels like real wood.
Like every woodgrain from The LUJO® Collection, High Line provides more than a stunning appearance. It also contributes to the functionality and performance of the space. The clients wanted this basement to include a pantry space, discreet lighting, and hidden appliances. The seamless appearance of High Line made it possible.
POSH PANTRY
The posh hidden pantry can be found behind a camouflaged door. Additional storage and shelving — all finished with High Line panels — beautifully extend the design theme of the space. Similarly, the bar area features a hidden dishwasher drawer.
Following recent trends, the space includes well-designed specialty zones for hosting and entertaining. A large wine fridge was installed, drinks can be prepared at the cocktail bar, and comfortable seating is close by for casual conversations. This basement has the function of a top-notch entertainment retreat, elevated with the look and feel of a luxury home.
Choosing a high-performance design from The LUJO® Collection ensures that this space will be hosting guests for years to come. LUJO® designs can be used practically anywhere. That’s why High Line was also fabricated for a media console that displays design accents and eclectic lamps. The LUJO® Collection expands any designer’s toolkit with endless possibilities for both vertical and horizontal applications.
A basement doesn’t need to be boring. With the help of distinguished designers and luxury woodgrains from The LUJO® Collection, this basement was transformed into an elegant retreat that is ready for anything.
