Basement Games Room, Cinema & Wine Bar
The design & creation of a basement games room, cinema & wine bar for a luxury house in Richmond – for movie nights, relaxed family downtime, and most importantly, great parties.
We designed and brought to life this generous space in the basement of a detached family home in Richmond, West London. Our clients wanted a private area for chilling out, watching films and throwing next-level parties.
For this project we delivered our comprehensive design service. The bold, contrasting colours we chose here calmly envelop you as you relax. Then later, when the party is in full swing and the lights are up, the colours take on a more vibrant quality.
A basement games room for all the family with mood lighting, atmosphere & drama
Mood lighting plays an important role in this basement games room. The two natural light sources are a walk-on glass floor in the room above, and the open staircase leading up to it. Apart from that, this was a dark space which gave us the perfect opportunity to do something really dramatic with the lighting.
Most of the lights are on separate circuits, giving plenty of options in terms of mood scenes. The pool table is overhung by three brass and amber glass pendants, which we commissioned from one of our trade suppliers. Our beautifully curated artwork is tastefully lit with downlights and picture lights. LEDs give a warm glow around the perimeters of the media unit, wine rack and bar top.
Our brief was to create a contemporary private members club feel
The classic 8-foot American pool table was made bespoke in our choice of finishes. We made sure there was a full cue’s length all the way around the playing area.
We designed the bar and wine rack to be custom made for this project. The natural patina of the brass worktop shows every mark and stain, which might sound impractical but in reality looks quirky and timeless. The bespoke bar cabinetry was finished in a chestnut brown lacquer spray paint.
On this project we delivered our comprehensive interior design service, which covers everything from the initial concept and presentation work to handling specifications, costings, and seamless ordering and delivery of fixtures, furniture, and soft furnishings.
Tim listened and learned about our family before he started designing. He used art that we had collected from our travels around the world to build a colourful, cosy, look that has some wow factor. He listened to our feedback and advised us like a friend. We very much enjoyed working with Tim and hope to use him for interior design projects in the future.
