This basic builder-grade bathroom was transformed into a luxury master retreat. How did we do it? With a little bit of magic and a great design plan from Kansas City interior designer Arlene Ladegaard, that’s how! The Before and After pictures are a MUST-SEE!

The existing master bathroom dated back to 2002; it was a great size and it worked well for my clients, but it was not the relaxing space they longed for. After years of collecting pictures, ideas, and bathroom designs they loved, they were ready to make a drastic change. Their wish list contained my favorite elements; spacious and elegant with a timeless, classic style.

They dreamt of having a freestanding bathtub in a luxurious, relaxing setting. The original bathtub was boxy and the shower angles were an odd, angular shape. They had to go!

Removing the old shower and bathtub made way for the new tile walls and floors.

The new 12 x 22 brick patterned Marca Corona Italian tile was chosen to wrap the bathroom and shower walls and paired perfectly with the crisp white 12×24 Caesar tiled floor.

The Walker Zanger imported glass accent tile gives a dash of color and highlights the gorgeous new standalone bathtub.

We considered white cabinetry initially but ultimately decided on an Alder wood in dark finish, which delivered the timeless style they were dreaming of. The design dilemma was the high, airy ceiling. We brought the visual space up by choosing two framed 4’ mirrors. The polished nickel sconce placed in the center of the mirrors was a creative way to add balance and extra light.

Like a gorgeous piece of jewelery, the crowning jewel of this bathroom is the dramatic brushed nickel draping chain chandelier.
