I like photo #2. Perhaps the wall with the photo should also be painted with the dark paint. Generally an undercabinet (undershelf light in your case) light should be placed at the front of a shelf to illuminate the objects, not at the rear which illuminates the wall (I understand these are renderings, not photos, and don't show the lighting with precision).

The wall with the photo should definitely be painted the same color as the bar and booth area - having a strip of wall color there looks odd.

Do you have a lot of natural light in the basement? The two renderings are very dark. What will be happening in the rest of the basement?

Thanks for the feedback. This should give you a sense of other rooms and the moody vibe we’re seeking. Lots of blue tones, greens, beige, gray, etc.

The plaid insets clash with the brick in both colorways. I wouldn’t do that busy of an inset with the brick trim. After seeing the other pictures I would keep the plaid and do a plain wood trim rather than the brick . I like the first wall color better than the blue.

Beautiful design for the bar. c
