Because basements are prone to moisture, we opted for luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring instead of hardwood. This mid-tone plank is one of my favorites, and I love the character it brings to the basement. To ensure the living room setting looked cohesive with the rest of the space, we paired the flooring with a deeper wood tone, which we placed around the fireplace, bar, and serving area. We reinforced the sultry, sophisticated deep brown color on the leather armchairs and coffee table.
Our clients desperately wanted a fireplace in the living room, so we amped up the cozy factor by installing a panorama fireplace with a sophisticated black brick tile front. We loved the bold veining on the quartz bar island so much that we carried it over to the fireplace surround. It was definitely a bold option, but it was perfectly balanced against the deep black.
