BEFORE: Prior to the remodel, the room had remnants of the kids’ younger days. “There were a lot of toys they had outgrown,” Nordin says. “Their parents wanted them to have a room that was right for them now and later.”

“After” photos by Matthew KleinrockBasement at a GlanceWho lives here: A family of four with kids ages 9 and 12Location: Chevy Chase, MarylandSize: 320 square feet with a 28-square-foot bathroom (29.7 square meters with a 2.6-square-meter bathroom)Designer: Stuart Nordin of Stuart Nordin DesignThe backstory: This Maryland family loves everything sports: gear, teams and game time. The team concept continued for the design of the space. From the beginning, the parents and the kids gave input on the design to make sure all voices and needs were heard.Scope: The family was past the stage in life of needing a toy room and wanted to transition the space into a room that could be functional for the whole family. With the help of designer Stuart Nordin, the family completed the project in five months. The room redesign also included updating the bathroom that sits just off the room.Before: The room was dark and filled with toys that the kids had outgrown. The seating options were limited and combined old furniture from other rooms in the house when it had nowhere else to go. The family saw it as mostly an uninviting storage space.
