Basement Remodel: Transforming a Home into a Swanky Irish Pub

In collaboration with Suite Spot Design, we transformed a standard basement into a swanky Irish pub-inspired entertainment space, combining warmth, elegance, and bold design elements. The homeowners wanted a high-end, inviting atmosphere for hosting, and the challenge was to deliver this while maximizing functionality and storage. Rich walnut millwork, bold black cabinetry, and luxurious details like a titanium quartzite bar top and custom coffered ceiling brought this vision to life. The result is a refined, pub-style retreat perfect for entertaining, with hidden storage and stunning design features throughout.

The challenge

Our clients envisioned turning their basement into a high-end entertaining space that captured the warmth and charm of an upscale Irish pub—all without leaving the comfort of their home. The challenge was to create a refined yet inviting atmosphere, incorporating rich materials and bold design elements while maximizing functionality and hidden storage solutions.

The solution

To achieve the desired pub ambiance, we used luxurious walnut millwork and cabinetry painted in Black Beauty by Benjamin Moore. These bold, dark tones set the stage for an elegant, moody space perfect for entertaining. The focal point of the design is the stunning titanium quartzite countertop and backsplash, both in a leathered finish that adds texture and sophistication to the bar area. 


No Detail Overlooked

This remodel was all about the details, and every element was carefully selected to enhance the luxurious feel of the space. Recessed linear LED bar lighting was installed to create a sleek, modern look while also providing excellent illumination for the bar area. The custom cabinetry features sophisticated metal mesh door inserts, adding a refined industrial touch. Behind the floating shelves, an eye-catching smoked mirror backsplash further elevates the design, reflecting light and making the space feel even more dynamic. The star of the show is the custom walnut coffered ceiling, which adds a sense of grandeur to the room. The intricate millwork elevates the basement beyond a simple entertainment area, creating a space where guests will want to linger. 


Seamless Storage Solutions

Our clients wanted a sleek feature wall that wouldn’t compromise the room’s clean, elegant aesthetic. To meet this need, we designed a walnut slatted door front that blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall. This door opens to reveal hidden storage, providing both beauty and functionality. The push-to-open mechanism offers easy access, allowing the wall to remain uncluttered and sophisticated while offering plenty of concealed storage space. 

The results

This basement remodel transformed a simple space into a swanky, luxurious Irish pub atmosphere perfect for hosting friends and family. The combination of rich walnut millwork, bold black cabinetry, and the stunning titanium quartzite countertop and backsplash creates an upscale, inviting space. With thoughtful touches like the smoked mirror backsplash, metal mesh door inserts, and the custom coffered ceiling, the design exudes both elegance and warmth. The hidden storage feature provides practical functionality without compromising the sleek, high-end look our clients desired. Every element in this basement was meticulously crafted, making it the ultimate space for entertaining in style.
