Blueprint for Improvement:  Modern updates to Indy basement

THE CHALLENGE:

Before the homeowners purchased this 1991 home at Lake Clearwater, they planned several updates of the interior to fit their modern tastes. This is Part 1 of a three-part series.

THE SOLUTION:

• In the basement, carpet was replaced with luxury vinyl plank flooring and the stairwell was updated with new treads and balusters.
• A wet bar was added to the space and features a sink, refrigerator and plenty of storage.
• Wall-mounted cabinets and shelves create the illusion of a floating entertainment center.
