In season 3 episode 11 of Sweat Equity, titled "Game Room," host Amy Matthews works with homeowners who want to transform their unused basement into a fun and functional game room.
The episode begins with Amy meeting with the homeowners to assess the space and discuss their vision for the room. The couple wants to create an entertaining space for their family and friends, complete with a pool table, shuffleboard, bar area, and seating for guests. They also want to add a bathroom to the basement to make the space more convenient for guests.
Amy starts by mapping out the layout of the room and creating a design plan that maximizes the available space. She suggests installing a floating floor made of interlocking tiles, which will be easy to install and provide a durable surface for playing games. She also recommends adding custom-built cabinetry to store game accessories, and creating a built-in bench along the back wall for additional seating.
Next, Amy tackles the bathroom renovation. She recommends installing a pre-fabricated shower unit to save time and money, and adds a sleek glass door to give the bathroom a modern look. She also incorporates a new sink, toilet, and lighting fixtures to finish off the space.
Once construction begins, Amy helps the homeowners choose finishes that will give the room a fun and playful feel. They opt for a bold wallpaper pattern on one wall, which will serve as an accent wall and add visual interest to the space. They also choose a bright blue paint color for the remaining walls, which will help to create a cohesive look throughout the room.
As construction nears completion, Amy starts to think about how to incorporate fun and functional accessories into the space. She suggests adding a vintage popcorn machine and a mini fridge to the bar area, as well as installing a TV and sound system for viewing movies and sporting events.
Finally, the big reveal arrives and the homeowners are thrilled with the finished product. The game room is complete with a pool table, shuffleboard, and seating for guests. The custom cabinetry provides ample storage for game accessories, and the built-in bench adds additional seating. The bathroom is sleek and modern, with all the necessary amenities for guests. The finishing touches, such as the wallpaper, paint color, and accessories, give the room a playful and fun feel.
In the end, Amy has transformed an unused basement into a beautiful and functional game room that the homeowners can enjoy for years to come. Sweat Equity season 3 episode 11, "Game Room," is a great source of inspiration for anyone looking to maximize the potential of their basement.
