renovating kc recap: primary retreat
At Renovating KC, we thrive on projects that allow us to re-envision an entire space. This stunning Leawood remodel shows how thoughtful planning and elevated design can turn ordinary into extraordinary. What began as a dated and compartmentalized primary suite was transformed into a spacious, cohesive retreat. Complete with a luxurious walk-in closet, architectural details, and a fully redesigned bathroom.
Before:
Before we began this Kansas City bathroom remodel and suite redesign, the space felt closed-off and lacked both flow and functionality. The original suite separated the bedroom, closet, and bathroom in ways that made everyday living feel disjointed.
Key challenges included:
A dated fireplace that limited usable wall space
A segmented layout that restricted circulation
Outdated finishes that didn’t reflect our client’s vision for elevated living
Our team began crafting a design that would elevate both form and function
selections, rendering & Floor planning:
One of the most exciting parts of this Kansas City bathroom remodel was selecting materials that feel lasting, warm, and elevated. Our client wanted finishes with personality.
Bathroom Layout Reimagined
The bathroom was completely reconfigured to feel more luxurious and spa-like:
Freestanding Tub: A serene centerpiece that invites relaxation.
Walk-In Shower with Arched Opening: Matching the suite’s architectural language while offering a seamless, open feel.
Double Vanity: Tailored for usability and shared routines.
Private Water Closet: A thoughtful addition that enhances privacy and comfort.
Finish Selections That Elevate Everyday Life
Our curated palette fused warmth, texture, and refined details:
Gold Hardware: Polished accents that enhance a luxury aesthetic without overpowering the design.
Checkered Floor Tile: Bold patterning that grounds the space and adds visual interest.
Taj Mahal Leather-Honed Countertops: Natural stone with a soft, tactile surface that feels sophisticated and timeless.
Each material was selected to blend functionality with personality, ensuring we are up to date with Kansas City remodeling trends.

As trusted remodelers in Kansas City, we approached this project by rethinking how each area of the primary suite could serve daily life more beautifully and intentionally.
Reconceiving the Primary Suite
We strategically redefined space to create openness and refined flow:
Removed the Old Fireplace: The fireplace once anchored the room but proved to be more limiting than functional. Its removal immediately expanded furniture layout options and visual space.
Added a Dedicated Coffee Bar: Homeowners now enjoy a built-in coffee bar — a thoughtful touch that elevates morning routines and adds convenience within the primary suite.
Arched Doorways Throughout: To infuse architectural interest and sophistication, we introduced graceful arched openings that visually connect the bedroom, closet, and bathroom.
These structural enhancements made this Leawood remodel feel more welcoming, purposeful, and harmonious.
