Just BasementsEver wonder what would happen if you decided to go wild and make the basement of your dreams?
That is exactly what these homeowners’ tasked us with. As their children continue to grow, the goal for this basement was to create the “it” place to be for years to come. To achieve this, we explored it all – a theatre, wet bar, wine cellar, fitness, billiards, bathroom, lounge – and then some.

Creative Surfaces Countertops & TileThis beautiful home in Brandon recently completed the basement. The husband loves to golf, hence they put a golf simulator in the basement, two bedrooms, guest bathroom and an awesome wet bar with walk-in wine cellar. Our design team helped this homeowner select Cambria Roxwell quartz countertops for the wet bar and Cambria Swanbridge for the guest bathroom vanity. Even the stainless steel pegs that hold the wine bottles and LED changing lights in the wine cellar we provided.
FlooretThis LVP driftwood-inspired design balances overcast grey hues with subtle taupes. A smooth, calming style with a neutral undertone that works with all types of decor. The Modin Rigid luxury vinyl plank flooring collection is the new standard in resilient flooring. Modin Rigid offers true embossed-in-register texture, creating a surface that is convincing to the eye and to the touch; a low sheen level to ensure a natural look that wears well over time; four-sided enhanced bevels to more accurately emulate the look of real wood floors; wider and longer waterproof planks; an industry-leading wear layer; and a pre-attached underlayment.

Drury DesignA young growing family purchased a great home in Chicago’s West Bucktown, right by Logan Square. It had good bones. The basement had been redone at some point, but it was due for another refresh. It made sense to plan a mindful remodel that would acommodate life as the kids got older.
“A nice place to just hang out” is what the owners told us they wanted. “You want your kids to want to be in your house. When friends are over, you want them to have a nice space to go to and enjoy.”
Design Objectives:
Level up the style to suit this young family
Add bar area, desk, and plenty of storage
Include dramatic linear fireplace
Plan for new sectional
Improve overall lighting
THE REMODEL
Design Challenges:
Awkward corner fireplace creates a challenge laying out furniture
No storage for kids’ toys and games
Existing space was missing the wow factor – it needs some drama
Update the lighting scheme
Design Solutions:
Remove the existing corner fireplace and dated mantle, replace with sleek linear fireplace
Add tile to both fireplace wall and tv wall for interest and drama
Include open shelving for storage and display
Create bar area, ample storage, and desk area
THE RENEWED SPACE
The homeowners love their renewed basement. It’s truly a welcoming, functional space. They can enjoy it together as a family, and it also serves as a peaceful retreat for the parents once the kids are tucked in for the night.

The mood of the room is set by the dark gray brick wall. Natural wood mixed with industrial design touches and fun fabric patterns give this room the cool factor. Photos by Jenn Verrier Photography
Urban Getaways Design & Style| Living Room| There was a non functional fireplace that was smack dab in the middle of the room and ran all the way up throughout the house (3 stories). Instead of demolishing and spending a ton of money and disruption we decided to keep the interesting quirk and making it a focal point of the space.
