Is your bathroom stuck in the past? At Karin Ross Designs, we design and build bathrooms across the Kansas City metro, and the ideas below come out of that work. Some are for people trying to get more out of a small hall bath. Some are for people building the primary suite they have been thinking about for years. Every project further down this page is a real one, in a real KC suburb.
If you already know you want to start, here is how our bathroom remodeling process works, what it costs, and how long it takes.
Before You Start
Two things make the difference between a remodel you enjoy and one you endure: knowing what is not working in your current bathroom, and knowing your real budget before you fall in love with a tile.
We walk through the rest, including what to have ready before we meet, on our Kansas City bathroom remodeling page.
How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take?
Most bathrooms take four to six weeks on-site once construction starts. Moving plumbing or waiting on custom tile adds time. Here is how long a bathroom remodel takes, in detail.
Stunning Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for Every Style
Your bathroom should be a haven, a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. But if yours feels outdated, cramped, or simply doesn’t reflect your style, it might be time for a remodel! This can be a daunting prospect, but no worries. Karin Ross Designs offers these bathroom remodel ideas to inspire your dream space.
The Spa-Like Retreat:
- Embrace Tranquility: Create a calming atmosphere with neutral tones, natural stone elements, and plenty of natural light. Think freestanding soaking tubs, walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, and heated towel racks for ultimate luxury.
- Light & Bright: Ensure ample lighting with a mix of overhead and task lighting. Consider dimmer switches to create a spa-like ambiance for a truly relaxing experience.
Modern Marvels:
- Sleek & Sophisticated: Go for clean lines, geometric shapes, and minimalist fixtures. Frameless glass shower enclosures, wall-mounted vanities, and smart mirrors with integrated technology add a touch of modern luxury.
- Bold Accents: Don’t be afraid to add pops of color or unexpected materials like metallic tiles or concrete countertops for a unique touch.
Rustic Charm:
- Warm & Inviting: Create a cozy atmosphere with natural wood vanities, stone or brick tile accents, and vintage-inspired fixtures. Clawfoot tubs and vessel sinks add a touch of farmhouse chic.
- Earthy Tones: Embrace a calming color palette with browns, beiges, and greens. Natural light is key, but warm pendant lighting is also considered for added ambiance.
Small Bathroom Solutions:
- Maximize Every Inch: Wall-mounted vanities, floating shelves, and corner shower enclosures can maximize space in your bathroom.
- Light & Reflection: Opt for light-colored walls, large mirrors, and reflective surfaces to create the illusion of a bigger space.
Some additional bathroom remodel ideas include:
- Boost Storage: Vanity drawers with organizers, mirrored cabinets, and built-in shelving can all help keep your vanity clutter-free.
- Include Nature: Use plants, natural stone accents, or botanical wallpaper to bring the outside in.
- Sustainable Features: For an eco-friendly remodel, take into account low-flow showerheads and faucets, recycled materials, and energy-efficient lighting.
- Choose the Floor First: It is the surface you stand on wet, every day. Matte or honed tile beats polished, and waterproof beats water-resistant. Here is how to pick non-slip bathroom flooring.
Remember, these are just a few starting points! At Karin Ross Designs, the possibilities are endless. We believe your bathroom remodel should reflect your style and complement your day-to-day routine. Let the experienced team at our remodeling company in Kansas City help you transform your bathroom into a dream space you’ll love for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best ideas for a small bathroom?
Buy back floor space wherever you can. A wall-mounted vanity, floating shelves, and a corner shower enclosure all free up the floor. Light coloured walls, large mirrors, and reflective surfaces make the room read bigger than it is. Storage is the other half of it: vanity drawers with organisers, mirrored cabinets, and built-in shelving keep the counter clear, and a clear counter is what actually makes a small bathroom feel calm.
How do I make my bathroom feel like a spa?
Neutral tones, natural stone, and as much natural light as the room will give you. A freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead, and heated towel racks do the rest. Lighting matters more than people expect: mix overhead and task lighting, and put it on dimmers so the room can be bright in the morning and low in the evening.
What bathroom style suits an older Kansas City home?
Rustic and transitional tend to sit well in older housing stock. Natural wood vanities, stone or brick tile accents, vintage-inspired fixtures, and a warm palette of browns, beiges and greens. A clawfoot tub or a vessel sink can look at home in a house that is a century old and slightly odd in a new build.
