Naperville Basement Remodel

After water damage rendered this basement unusable, our team was brought in to reimagine the space for a young family seeking a sophisticated, adult-centered retreat. Starting with a blank slate, we created a luxurious lower-level oasis designed for entertaining and unwinding. The renovation included the addition of a full bathroom, custom wet bar, dramatic wine wall, and a sleek media wall for movie nights and game days. Every design decision was intentional, blending comfort with elegance. Soothing green tones, natural white oak elements, warm accent lighting, and a statement fireplace infuse the space with both style and serenity. The result is a richly layered environment that feels welcoming and refined. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, this basement now serves as a functional and beautiful extension of the family’s home, proof that even spaces with challenging beginnings can be transformed into something extraordinary.

What was once a dated, underused basement is now a cozy adult retreat filled with character and custom details. This space was completely reimagined, from reworking the layout to overcoming tricky hurdles like low ceiling heights, plumbing challenges, and tight holiday timelines. Our team optimized every inch, creating functional zones while maintaining a seamless, open feel.

A standout design feature is the custom wine wall, which adds both visual interest and purposeful storage. We used Sherwin-Williams’ Succulent to bring a moody elegance to the cabinetry, paired with warm accent lighting to create a layered, inviting glow.

Custom built-ins, a sleek fireplace wall, and refined finishes elevate the space into something truly special. This basement isn’t just renovated, it’s reborn, ready for entertaining or relaxing in style.

A quick peak at the before—we couldn’t be more proud of this one.

We recently completed a basement renovation with SG Home Builders and are beyond happy with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly trustworthy. Their team kept us informed throughout the entire process and made us feel confident every step of the way. The design team listened to our vision and brought it to life. The end result is the basement of our dreams. We love having this space as a great area for our family and highly recommend SG Home Builders. - Kathryn
