“Dan and I met in NYC, so we love that a lot of the elements from the basement remind us of the city.” “When I saw the Andy Warhol selfie wallpaper I knew I wanted our basement to have an ’80s NYC feel,” says McLaren. The former guest room, off the foyer, is now a gym.

“It’s the perfect introduction to the basement because it has indeed become the place for the family and their friends,” says Tripodi.Įarly structural changes included opening up the wall between an at-home movie theater and the seating area to create one big open floor plan that incorporates a new eat-in wet bar.

Patterned wallpaper and a pink velvet settee topped with a neon light fixture that reads “This must be the place” in a tribute to the Talking Heads song. The design tone is set when the basement stairs descend into what was once a boring builder-grade beige space - now a welcoming foyer with a glossy charcoal gray ceiling walls covered in fun geometric. “The idea was to transform it from a little- kid space into a cool, chic hangout.” “Because we live in Arlington and have limited outdoor space, we wanted to create a space where the kids would want to hang out with their friends and we’d all enjoy spending time, especially during the hotter summer months,” says homeowner Sarah McLaren, who worked with interior designer Erin Tripodi of Erin Tripodi Design to redesign the basement in 2021. It goes without saying that as the family grew, so did elements of the home’s décor, especially that of their basement.
When Dan and Sarah McLaren purchased their Arlington home in 2013, their kids Kenzie, 13, and Callum, 10, were little. Here, we contrast a pool house versus a finished basement as two options for chilling out during the season when temperatures rise. Hot summers, kids on school break, and social gatherings often send us searching for cool spots to spend time at home.
