Our Carmel design-build studio was tasked with organizing our client’s basement and main floor to improve functionality and create spaces for entertaining. In the basement, the goal was to include a simple dry bar, theater area, mingling or lounge area, playroom, and gym space with the vibe of a swanky lounge with a moody color scheme. In the large theater area, a U-shaped sectional with a sofa table and bar stools with a deep blue, gold, white, and wood theme create a sophisticated appeal. The addition of a perpendicular wall for the new bar created a nook for a long banquette. With a couple of elegant cocktail tables and chairs, it demarcates the lounge area. Sliding metal doors, chunky picture ledges, architectural accent walls, and artsy wall sconces add a pop of fun. On the main floor, a unique feature fireplace creates architectural interest. The traditional painted surround was removed, and dark large format tile was added to the entire chase, as well as rustic iron brackets and wood mantel. The moldings behind the TV console create a dramatic dimensional feature, and a built-in bench along the back window adds extra seating and offers storage space to tuck away the toys. In the office, a beautiful feature wall was installed to balance the built-ins on the other side. The powder room also received a fun facelift, giving it character and glitz. --- Project completed by Wendy Langston's Everything Home interior design firm, which serves Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, and Indianapolis.

A basement should be a warm wonderful place to spend time with family in friends. But this one in a Warminster was a dark dingy place that the homeowners avoided. Our team took this blank canvas and added a Bathroom, Bar, and Mud Room. We were able to create a clean and open contemporary look that the home owners love. Now it’s hard to get them upstairs. Their new living space has changed their lives and we are thrilled to have made that possible.

An unfinished basement was transformed into this modern & contemporary space for our clients to entertain and spend time with family. It includes a home theater, lounge, wet bar, guest space and 3 pc washroom. The bar front was clad with beautiful cement tiles, equipped with a sink and lots of storage. Niches were used to display decor and glassware. LED lighting lights up the front and back of the bar. A barrel vault ceiling was built to hide a single run of ducting which would have given an otherwise asymmetrical look to the space. Symmetry is paramount in Wilde North Design. Bar front is tiled with handmade encaustic tiles. Handmade wood counter tops with ebony stain. Recessed LED lighting for counter top. Recessed LED lighting on bar front to highlight the encaustic tiles. Triple Niches for display with integrated lighting. Stainless steel under counter sink and matching hardware. Floor is tiled with wood look porcelain tiles. Screwless face plates used for all switches. Under counter mini fridge.
