Basements

The homeowners wanted to transform a dark, compartmentalized basement into an open, welcoming entertainment space inspired by the warmth and character of a traditional English pub. They envisioned improved flow, better connectivity between spaces, and a lower level that could comfortably accommodate entertaining, media viewing, and everyday relaxation. 

Hurst Design Build Remodel completely reconfigured the lower level by removing structural walls and posts, replacing them with a steel beam to create an expansive open floor plan. A new floating staircase with glass railings increased natural light and visual connection between levels, while a custom wet bar, detailed millwork, and decorative ceiling treatments established an authentic English pub atmosphere with modern functionality. 

• Custom Omega cabinetry with Silestone Coral Clay quartz countertops 

• Custom wet bar featuring an Elkay sink with Kohler plumbing fixtures 

• CoreTec Rome Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the entertaining space 

• Decorative Somerville Tile wall tile and uDecor ceiling details that reinforce the English pub aesthetic 

• Top Knobs cabinet hardware, custom millwork by Baird Brothers, and Sherwin-Williams paint throughout 

• Open staircase with floating wood treads and glass railings, creating a bright, connected lower level 

The finished basement is a warm, immersive entertainment space that blends timeless English pub charm with contemporary craftsmanship. Structural improvements, custom architectural details, and thoughtfully selected materials transformed the once-enclosed basement into a functional destination for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday living.
