Transforming a 2,700 Sq. Ft. Basement into a Luxury Living Space in Crystal Lake, Illinois

At Westbury Designs, we specialize in turning unused spaces into beautifully designed, functional areas. Our recent project in Crystal Lake, Illinois, is a testament to our expertise in luxury basement renovations. What started as a blank, unfinished basement is now a fully realized living space, complete with a small kitchen and bar area, a wine cellar, a bedroom, a full bathroom, and an expansive living and entertaining area.

A Vision for Open-Concept Living

One of the key elements of this transformation was opening up the staircase to create a seamless transition between floors. By removing barriers and optimizing the layout, we enhanced the natural flow of the home, making the basement feel like an integral part of the overall living space rather than a separate, secondary area.

A Gourmet Touch: Kitchen & Bar Area

The addition of a compact yet stylish kitchen and bar area provides everything needed for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening. High-end cabinetry, modern appliances, and a sleek countertop blend together to create a functional yet aesthetically pleasing space.

A Wine Lover’s Dream: Custom Wine Cellar

For the homeowners, a custom wine cellar was a must-have. We designed a climate-controlled space with elegant racking and ambient lighting to showcase their collection. Whether hosting a wine tasting or selecting the perfect bottle for a cozy night in, this cellar is both a statement piece and a practical addition.

Guest-Ready Comfort: Bedroom & Full Bathroom

To enhance the functionality of the space, we added a beautifully designed bedroom and full bathroom, making this basement ideal for hosting guests or even accommodating extended family members. Thoughtful design choices, from luxurious tile work to high-end fixtures, ensure both comfort and style.

Expansive Living & Entertaining Area

The heart of this basement transformation is the spacious living and entertaining area. Designed for relaxation and gatherings, this area features custom-built elements, comfortable seating, and stylish finishes that reflect the homeowner’s taste. Whether it’s movie nights, game-day celebrations, or intimate get-togethers, this space is versatile and inviting.

From Unfinished to Unforgettable

This 2,700-square-foot basement renovation in Crystal Lake, Illinois, exemplifies Westbury Designs’ commitment to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. By transforming an empty basement into a warm, functional, and luxurious extension of the home, we’ve created a space that enhances the homeowner’s lifestyle and adds significant value to their property.
