Finished Basement, Chatham, MA

Cape Associates finished the lower level of this Chatham home, working with interior designer Washashore Home. The result is a set of bright, comfortable rooms with light wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting and soft gray walls.

The centerpiece is a wet bar with navy blue cabinetry, a pale wood counter and a patterned mirrored backsplash. Brass pendants hang above upholstered gray stools, and a beverage refrigerator is built into the cabinets.

Nearby, a large lounge area holds a deep dark sectional, a wall-mounted television and wall sconces. A guest bedroom has an arched metal headboard and a small window high on the wall.

A bathroom completes the level, with a glass-enclosed shower, black fixtures and a warm wood vanity. Light finishes and a restrained palette of navy, gray and brass tie the bar, lounge, bedroom and bath together. Plenty of recessed lighting keeps the rooms bright below grade.
