Planning and material selection couldn’t be easier
With OakWood you get a one-stop basement solution.
Everything you need is under one roof at our award-winning Design Centre and Showroom.
Flooring Options
Choose from a broad range of material choices including marble, granite, various wood options, linoleum, laminate and eco-friendly options like cork or bamboo. Our Design Consultants can share the pros and cons of each to help you make the best decision for your finished basement project. Where moisture and humidity is a concern, synthetic materials may be a better option.


Mold Resistant Materials
Mold loves damp, dark spaces. Talk to an OakWood Project Consultant about recommendations and ideas for controlling humidity in your basement. Your options include moisture-resistant drywall, antimicrobial paint, synthetic carpet, dehumidifiers and others.
Basement Lighting
Good lighting is a basement’s best friend. Choose from many options to brighten up your new basement including track lighting, recessed pot lights, miniature lights, and many others. Use floor lamps to highlight special features and create ambiance. Lots of options! Let our Interior Design consultants give you a hand.


Basement Ceilings
From simple drop ceilings—which are super practical for accessing plumbing pipes and electrical connections—to decorative ceiling tile and exposed wooden beams, you’ve got plenty of material options and styles to consider. Renovating your basement is also a great opportunity to add insulation to keep heat or cool air upstairs.
Innovative Wall Ideas
If you have brick walls, you may want to consider keeping part of the existing walls exposed. Normally, finishing concrete basement walls involves adding insulation and covering with drywall. Various types of tile or rock combined with accent painting and curtains can give your basement a nice vibe.


Custom Cabinetry & Millwork
Take advantage of OakWood’s exclusive production line inside Cabico’s manufacturing plant get an affordable cabinet solution made to measure for your basement. Choose from over 100 durable finishes, many different door styles, configurations, and material options including red birch, rustic cherry, cherry, red oak, hickory, maple, rustic alder, knotty pine, caramelized bamboo, and many others.
