Get the Look: Multifunctional Basement

This week on the TV series Le grand chantier RONA, Team Blue tackled the open-concept basement. They created a multifunctional space featuring a family room and two offices, with a super-trendy wood slat half-wall. Find out how to recreate the look at home!

The Inspiration for this Multifunctional Space

Whether you're a large family or just two, a multifunctional space is always practical. By dividing the room into separate zones (TV room, home office, fitness area, playroom, and more), you can enjoy different activities without disturbing the rest of the family! We love the brightness and warmth of this slightly eclectic room, which mixes modern silhouettes with rustic accents and modern-retro touches.

A Neutral Yet Bright Colour Palette

This soft and neutral palette of greys with earthy undertones is perfect for accentuating the room's nature-inspired feel. Did you know? With the Colour Selector by Sico, you can order paint from the comfort of your home!

This Week’s Must-Haves

In this room, natural materials—such as wood and woven fabrics—steal the spotlight. Straight lines and matte black accents add a modern touch, while curved shapes and touches of wood reinforce the room’s warm, cozy feel.

Convenient Storage Thanks to Multipurpose Cabinets

A home office comes with supplies and paperwork! Without the right storage solutions, a workspace can quickly become cluttered and messy. In this room, the custom shelves can be used to display decorative items, while the multipurpose cabinets add convenient hidden storage. With Cubïk cabinets, the possibilities are truly endless!

This Week’s Challenge

This week, Team Blue took on another woodworking challenge. A half-wall is an excellent way to divide a multifunctional room into separate zones. What's more, the spacing between the angled slats lets in light, adding to the room's brightness. The challenge: to ensure even spacing between the slats and flawless stain application.
