I’m moving into a basement and it will be my bedroom and living area. It used to be the 2 car garage of the house – that should give you some sense of size. How will I divide up the two spaces? I also have a beautiful stacked stone fireplace on one side of the room and I can’t decide if I should put the bedroom in the area with the fireplace or give the living room the fireplace. On the other side of the room is double french doors that lead to the outside. Also, I have antique furniture and a white iron bed. I’m trying to figure out a way to divide up this space and I’ve considered decorative screens and open shelving but still have no answers. This basement is contemporary and has new taupe colored carpet. How do I combine the two styles? Thanks for any input.

I suggest having your fireplace as a part of your living area. It is a natural focal point and it will be nice to have company over and have a warm fire to sit around. I truly love he idea of the decorative screens. you can get beautiful ones at antique stores. open shelves are also a nice idea at IKEA they have square open shelves in a range of different shades of wood. either way I suggest having an area rug in your living space and one in your bedroom area this will anchor these areas and make your living space look more established. as for combining the contemporary style of your living space with your antique furniture that should not be very hard. buy a few large contemporary pieces such as maybe a coffee table, couch, dresser and put your antiques around it. This will give your space a very eclectic feel without being overbearing.
hope this helps
