Industrial style design

I'm looking to remodel my basement in a very industrial style design with a slight retro look. It is going to be used as a bachelor gameroom/bar area. I was looking at covering the ceiling and walls with a polished galvanized roofing and to have the floors be either the plain concrete with a clear coating, colored (black/red/white) cork floor tiles or a combination of the two.

What are some good ideas for lighting (direct & in-direct)? Display shelving? Bar design?

Thanks!

For lighting try Tech Lighting (cable strung low voltage), Gotham Lighting (new twist on recessed downlights), Visa Lighting, Louis Poulson, or Bega (sconces and pendants). For the bar their are some plastic laminates by Formica or Wilsonart that look like corrugated metal, corrugated cardboard, even checkerplate metal. I'll have to give the shelving some thought.

Kitchen / Wainscotting HELP!!!!

I

im3rd001 on Feb 05, 2007

Saved the hardest area 'til last....... Have been wanting to redo kitchen / entry / hall since we moved in and now sick of it and want to get it done before spring hits. Looking for any and all suggestions for colors, etc.... Here are the facts: Kitchen is L shaped and cabinets are a porcelain finished birch. All appliances are white. Cathedral ceiling above the two walls the cabinets are on. Third wall (where table is) is wood wainscotting with chair rail. Fourth wall is open to entry on right and living room on left, this also the same wainscotting. Currently the wainscotting is painted a dirty brown, all walls are a light tan that matches the kitchen cabinets and trim is white. Want to add some color and make it look clean and fresh. Biggest problem I'm having - the fourth wall that kind of borders the kitchen to the living room - old owners put brand new navy blue plush carpet in - would love to rip it out but budget doesn't allow. What color can I use that won't emphasize that navy carpet too much? My original thoughts were a light beige on the walls with a darker beige wainscotting and then putting a burgundy up above the cabinets. I'm just lost here and looking for any ideas. Thanks!Read More
