Stairs at the front were used by tradesmen and servants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this house, the basement is where the&nbsp;cinema room, laundry, spa area&nbsp;and gym are situated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gym was painted in Little Greene Hammock 38 with the doors and architraves in Farrow &amp; Ball Skimming Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basement stairs and laundry were papered in Lint wallpaper by Harlequin in Nickle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the cinema room a bespoke media unit was supplied by Ashley Savage in Inchrya Blue by Farrow &amp; Ball and we painted the skirtings, doors and architraves to match. Knobs were from the brass Leebank collection from Armac Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-03-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wallpapered the walls in Nina Campbell Rosslyn Kelburn in Aqua and Silver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two window seat cushions were recovered in Plush Velvet Fabric by Warwick in Kingfisher and the bolsters were covered in Aqua trimmed with piping in Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CSID-RC-Basement-17-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The couple love their new basement with its practical rooms and large cinema room for family movie nights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent project in Bath, we did a complete design plan for a city centre Georgian house.
