We have a similar setup. Is this space off of your kitchen? If so, you'll want the dining area close to the kitchen (just to make things easier). I'd put a big rug and a light fixture there to demarcate the space. Then, you can use your sofa as a room divider and have the back of it facing the dining table (if that makes sense). You can have another big rug with the sofa/coffee table etc. Best of luck! Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: Where Should I Start Decorating? |

Those are cool - they'd work as room dividers as well. Apartment Therapy - Vertical Wave by Silent Gliss |

Thanks for the reclaim link. I've also been trying to get ahold of my local rep and he doesn't seem to want to talk to me :(. Apartment Therapy - Parametre by 3form |

It's cute, but how did they get around the rules about painting and such? We weren't allowed to do anything like that in the dorms! Apartment Therapy - Hot Tip: Dorm Rooms I Would Love To Move Into! |

Polkadot, thanks for the tips! Kate, I know exactly what you mean. It's like Murphy's Law and there will be a huge flood or something the day after installing wall to wall. Right now, I'm leaning towards painting some kind of warm creamy color (not sure about the bar because it's a very pretty mahogony-toned wood in person, but I can always decide that later), doing a dark red floor in some kind of acid wash or vinyl (need to think about this more) and then having a sisal-like area rug and one of the area rugs made of flor tiles. I'm also going to check out the vinyl planks, but I haven't liked most vinyl wood-toned floors I've seen so we'll see. I looove cork, but it might be too pricey. Maybe I'll catch a sale or something though. If you're not all suggestion-ed out, please keep the ideas coming! Thanks!

Claymover, thanks for doing that, it really helps to visualize things! I appreciate all of the advice. Have any of you painted over stone like that before? I was thinking I had to drywall or something, but maybe the paint thing would work okay and be much less expensive! Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: What To Do With My New Basement Floor? |

Thanks everyone! I appreciate any and all suggestions - I really want to make this a usable space so all of the input is great! It seems like I might need to up the budget. The basement is dry, but yeah, it is below grade, so I don't want to do wood. I'm having some people come out to give me an estimate for acid staining the floor and/or doing some kind of overlay, so we'll see. I was also thinking about what to do with the walls. I want to keep the accent wall behind the bar because it's stone (not cement block) and looks cool. But, I wonder if I need to drywall the other two walls? The 4th wall is the green one....

That apartment is cool! How do you think they did the ceiling hangings? I'd like to do something like that. Apartment Therapy - Open Thread 512 |

Oops, I'm sorry, I just read that you said "no questions please". I'll save the question for the next questions thread. Apartment Therapy - Tips: 19 |

I have a townhouse with a semi-finished basement. There's a drop-ceiling with recessed lighting and the gray stone foundation is exposed on three walls with sage green drywall on the other wall. I think I want to keep the stone foundation exposed because it looks pretty cool. But, what should I do with the floor? Right now, it's an ugly painted concrete with the area rug the previous owners left (which is also ugly). Any ideas of what to do with it? I don't want to spend too much (of course!) but I'd like it to be cool for an office/hangout room. Apartment Therapy - Tips: 19 |
