The Midwest Remodel: Timeless Design Rooted in Home
At Meg Behrens Design, we believe every remodel should tell a story—one that honors a home’s character while elevating it for modern living. Our Midwest Remodel is a perfect example of that philosophy.
Located in Missouri, where Meg grew up, this project was a full-circle moment. Returning to her roots, Meg brought the thoughtful, elevated design approach our clients love and applied it to a home that needed both functionality and beauty.
Blending Warmth with Modern Living
The home had incredible potential, but it needed updates to serve today’s lifestyle. We reworked the layout to improve flow, introduced custom finishes to bring in personality, and layered textures that make each space both livable and refined.
A Palette Inspired by Place
To reflect the heart of Midwestern living, we curated a design palette that feels inviting yet timeless. Warm woods, neutral foundations, and earthy accents created depth and comfort, while bold contrasts brought a modern edge. The result is a home that feels fresh and welcoming all at once.
Why This Matters for Your Remodel
Whether your home needs a complete renovation or a strategic refresh, our design approach is rooted in listening to how you live—and creating spaces that reflect both your story and your style. Just like in the Midwest Remodel, we honor what makes your home unique while elevating it to meet your needs today and for years to come.
Let’s Create Your Next Chapter
The Midwest Remodel was more than a transformation—it was proof that great design starts with connection: to the people, to the place, and to the details that make a house a home. If you’re ready to begin your own remodel, we’d love to bring that same thoughtful, elevated design to your project.
Design Details That Made a Difference
- Warm woods and clean lines grounded the space while giving it a modern, livable feel.
- The kitchen layout was reimagined with updated cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and new lighting that transformed the flow of the main level.
- We paid close attention to consistency in finishes—from the flooring to the hardware—to give the home a cohesive and elevated feel.
It’s worth mentioning that the home was professionally staged after construction was complete, so while the furnishings weren’t sourced by our team, it’s always fun to see how the space is styled through someone else’s lens.
This remodel reminds me why I love what I do—bringing new life to homes, especially those that hold sentimental meaning.
