Laundry Room Remodel Chicago: Where Function Meets Modern Style

Laundry rooms don’t have to be dull or strictly utilitarian. In fact, they can be one of the best spaces in your home to let your style and personality shine — while still delivering serious functionality.

At Renova Brothers, we recently completed a custom laundry room renovation for a homeowner in South Barrington who wanted a space that felt as bold and beautiful as the rest of their modern home. Originally designed by Peter Roesch — a protégé of Mies van der Rohe — the home carried strong modernist architecture and clean lines. The goal? Create a laundry room that complements the home's minimalist structure while adding just the right amount of warmth and softness.

Instead of covering up the home’s original cement-plaster wall details, we designed the space to highlight and celebrate them. The result is a perfect blend of industrial-modern character with welcoming texture — a hallmark of many successful Chicago laundry room remodels.

• Open shelving with exposed brackets reinforced the raw, architectural feel

• Rich walnut cabinetry added contrast and warmth

• Honed limestone countertops offered durability with a soft, matte finish

• Strategic layout planning turned this laundry area into a multifunctional zone
