Library Journal
With their openness, small windows, moisture, and exposed pipes and heaters, basements can pose many design problems. However, since refurbishing a basement can cost about half the price of adding an above-ground room, there is ample incentive to use this area. Kalyn addresses all of these concerns and offers the knowledge and design sense to make a basement into a magnificent, stylish area. Flooring, wall, window, door, and lighting options are provided, as are a variety of room uses, from a traditional family room to a sauna or spa. Throughout, Kalyn discusses safety, furnishings, code requirements, and solutions to design challenges.
