Another project by Scott McGillivray of HGTV, this luxurious basement bathroom shows just how much you can do when you have a large open space to work with. One of the reason many homeowners choose to renovate their basement is to not only increase their living space, but to add a second, third, or fourth bathroom to the home. Adding another bathroom to your house can greatly increase your home's value. And when it comes to a basement renovation, you typically have more space to think about the size and layout of your bathroom. That means you can plan for larger countertops, bigger showers, and more complex designs.
This modern basement design by Tara Kantor Interiors shows that simple design can still mean unique and interesting! With the large poster in the background, beautiful wooden pool table, and funky bar chairs, this basement is ready to entertain!
