Elevate Your Chicago Kitchen

The team salvaged the original 1923 built-in pantry in our Logan Square two-flat and converted it to a functional spice kitchen. Their tile specialist matched the hexagonal border perfectly using fragments we found behind the walls. Five winters later, everything still looks immaculate.

Our Gold Coast condo's new motion-activated under-cabinet lighting has been life-changing during dark winter mornings. The installers hid all wiring in the original moldings—you'd never know it wasn't part of the 1930s building. Even the doorman commented on how tasteful the tech upgrades are.

After two failed installations from other companies, Onyx finally gave us countertops that don't show condensation rings in our humid Naperville summers. They suggested a matte finish that complements our midcentury cabinets and included a hidden hot pad drawer for winter cookware storage.

My mother can now safely use her Evanston kitchen after Onyx's redesign. The pull-down shelving system means she doesn't strain reaching, and the heated floor prevents slips. Most importantly, it still looks like her historic home—not a clinical space.

The custom banquette seating with hidden storage has transformed our Lincoln Park kitchen. It accommodates holiday crowds but tucks away neatly for daily use. The craftsmen even incorporated ventilation slots to prevent moisture buildup against our exterior brick wall.

Our Aurora multigenerational home needed tech that worked for everyone. Onyx installed voice-controlled lighting with Spanish and English commands, plus a stove that automatically turns off if left unattended. The kids love the charging drawer disguised as an old flour bin.
