This Libertyville finished basement was once an underutilized space serving primarily as a dark storage area. The homeowners envisioned a welcoming lower level that would fit their family's lifestyle while also providing comfortable accommodations for overnight guests. The BDS team was able to bring that vision to life by completely reimagining the layout. Our team removed the wall that divided the basement in half, creating an open and inviting floor plan. The renovation includes a private guest bedroom with a full bathroom creating the perfect guest area. A custom entertainment area with built-in TV cabinetry, a wet bar for hosting, and dedicated spaces for a treadmill, pool table, movies, and family activities transformed this space into exactly what our homeowners dreamed of. Mechanical systems were thoughtfully concealed, new closets were added, and every inch of space was maximized—including custom storage beneath the stairs and additional storage areas for games and seasonal items. The updated Libertyville basement is now one of the most frequently used spaces in the home. It provides the ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, exercising, and hosting guests. While working on the basement remodel, the BDS team also updated all the interior doors of the home for a cohesive look and crafted a custom built-in surrounding the family room fireplace. These details added beautifully designed storage as well as a refined finishing touch to the main living space.
