A Lower Level Built for the Big Game in Plymouth

Plymouth remodel brings Home field advantage

Project Summary 

An unfinished basement offered these Plymouth homeowners a blank canvas to create a space centered around something they love: sports! This lower level was designed for game days and family gatherings, transformed into a welcoming extensions of the home with thoughtful features and materials that can withstand frequent use.

The main level living area provides a comfortable place to gather and cheer on their favorite teams. A neutral backdrop allows the homeowners' sport memorabilia to bring personality to the space. A nearby wet bar makes hosting easy, for all ages with refreshments and essentials within reach. Dark wood cabinetry, light countertops, and a beverage fridge combine practical storage with everyday convenience. Featuring floating shelves and a glass-front cabinet offer display space, while plaid wallpaper adds a distinctive layer of pattern and character.

The new finished bathroom takes on a bolder approach with a color-drench design, wrapping the walls and ceiling in deep blue. Warm wood cabinetry and cream surfaces balance the rich color, and a walk-in shower with onyx panels for easy cleaning, and tall storage cabinet add functionality.

What was once an underutilized space now adds a purposeful gathering place that refelcets the homeowners' interests and give family and friends more room to come together. A home-field advantage for games days and everything in between.
