Chicago North Shore Basement Renovations

Chicago Northshore basement renovations by Benvenuti and Stein have added expansive amounts of living spaces in clients’ homes. Wet bars, wine cellars, recreation rooms, childrens’ playrooms, home gyms and theater rooms greatly increase the home’s living space and functionality while not increasing its footprint. Benvenuti and Stein custom cabinetry adds meticulous craftmanship to elevate the space.


Wilmette Basement Renovation

Chicago Northshore Basement Renovation

For this Wilmette basement renovation we transformed an underused living space into a comfortable area to relax and entertain. Our designers created a custom media center with hidden storage to also house the large TV.  We incorporated an elegant home bar with a full size storage cabinet and wine refrigerator. The glass paneled cabinetry beautifully displays barware and the stone finishes add to the elegant aesthetic.  A recessed wall fireplace and comfortable seating provide a cozy atmosphere all year round.


Childrens’ Playroom in Chicago Basement Renovation

Chicago Basement Renovation

Part of a whole house renovation, is the large childrens’ playroom in the basement. The original lower level had all the amenities an adult family would want but lacked a space for young children. We designed custom built-ins to neatly store toys and a row of cabinetry below the shelves allow for ample hidden storage.  See more of this Chicago home renovation. 


Wine Room

Multi-use Spaces

A striking basement renovation in Lake Forest dramatically increased our client’s living space. Multiple zones for entertaining in style, peaceful relaxation and morning workouts happily coexist on one level.

We crafted a luxurious built-in bar unit from dark stained alder wood. Two large refrigerator units housed in custom cabinets provide ample storage with classic beauty. The mother of pearl style backsplash was incorporated to provide a stunning focal point. See more custom built-ins

A custom kitchen area with an island and various appliances provides seating for refreshments and meals.

The custom media center accommodates an oversize TV and has display shelves and closed cabinetry for extra storage.


Home Bar Seating for a Crowd

Basement bar cabinetry

We took advantage of the expansive space in this lower lever to create a large bar which can accommodate a sizeable number of guests. Our craftsmen created the bar and cabinetry from Alder and used an espresso/walnut stain. This elegant lower level recreational space will be a fun place to gather for years to come.
