Basement Guest Suite

In the Scott Brothers’ San Francisco showdown on Brother vs. Brother, Drew sets the bar high with a modern basement guest suite. This revamped space creatively incorporates a bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen and laundry area. During the renovation, the basement received its own entry to add incremental value to the property, and to separate the new suite from the upstairs living space in the home. The family can also now use the basement as a rentable studio apartment.

A Basement Fireplace Feature

A stone-veneer gas fireplace is the main focal point in this Love It or List It basement remodel. The cozy room incorporates a large sectional couch and a TV area, updated overhead lighting and new floors, which were lowered during the renovation to provide the homeowners with more headroom.

Colorful Family-Friendly Basement

The designers on Love It or List It created a bright and colorful finished basement that incorporates plenty of storage and comfortable furniture. A pair of desks makes it a perfect space for children who need to focus when participating in virtual learning and doing homework, or when they need space to spread out for arts and crafts.
