Berkley, Michigan Basement Remodel | Custom Family Room & Under Stairs Playhouse Design
This Berkley, Michigan basement remodel was thoughtfully designed to transform an underutilized lower level into a warm, functional, and elevated living space. The project includes a custom family room layout, built-in media wall with fireplace, and a one-of-a-kind under-stairs playhouse designed for both style and imagination.
Katrina Himes Design provided full-service interior design, including space planning, custom built-in design, custom under-stairs playhouse design, finish selections, furniture layout, and styling to create a cohesive and highly livable basement environment.

Under the stairs playhouse
One of the most unique elements of this basement remodel is the custom-designed under-stairs playhouse. Designed to mimic a charming miniature home, this feature includes detailed trim work, a functional door opening, window boxes with greenery, a custom address plaque, and exterior-style lighting.
The playhouse was thoughtfully integrated into the overall basement design to feel cohesive rather than separate, blending seamlessly with the surrounding finishes and architectural details.
This custom feature not only adds character and creativity to the space but also creates a memorable and functional area tailored specifically for family living.
