When a retired couple set out to transform their dark basement into a bright and welcoming apartment, they turned to habitatgreenwich for a complete transformation.

The vision: a space that felt fresh, functional, and beautiful to keep up with lively grandchildren and an aging Golden Retriever, without compromising style. Inspiration came from a Josef Frank textile pillow gifted from Sweden, its vivid blues and greens guiding the palette.

A custom-designed sectional anchors the living area, paired with a performance striped flatweave rug that adds playful energy. Handcrafted wooden stools stand in for a coffee table, offering sculptural flexibility. Woven bamboo shades, waterproof oak flooring, lush greenery, and a dramatic stone feature wall layer natural warmth and vibrancy throughout.

The result is a resilient, family-friendly retreat—bright, colorful, and deeply connected to the outdoors, perfectly tailored for everyday living and creating lasting memories.
