Interior: Basement kitchenette and bar lounge (Kē Design Collective)

March 07, 2024 in Interiors

Here’s an idea for your basement: Turn it into your very own underground bar lounge for the adults or a kitchenette to bake cookies with the kids.

Kē Design Collective designed the place to be when you want to go out for a drink, but you don’t actually want to leave the house (especially in the winter!). Or for the parents out there, you can bake for the kids while they play in the rest of the basement.

The pill-shaped island incorporates style and function with a beautiful countertop and millwork and storage space at both ends.

Save this as inspiration for your future basement or send this to a friend who would love this.

Interior design: Kē Design Collective
Millwork: 1benmu
