Sewing Room-Make lower ceilings appear higher with customized built-ins that maximize vertical space.

This sewing, craft and gift-wrap channel was designed to a corner of a basement laundry area. The plans included built-in closets which provide a great deal of storage to organize supplies and seasonal products. Simple Ikea boxes flip the spacious shelves into a tidy screen and white paint keeps it clean and bright. The durable slate flooring is practical and elevates the decor.

Modern Laundry Room

Consider bench pinning as a more affordable alternative to digging out a basement. The laundry area of this renovated basement was designed to be bright and clean with lots of storage.

Accessories like matching canisters and a dark tray finish off the look.
