Interior Design: Minneapolis Condo

Minneapolis empty nesters infuse classic style in new-construction condo

This hip couple’s newly constructed condo in Minneapolis, MN needed Interior Designer Brandi Hagen’s touch. It was just too new. The homeowners wanted their space to have a more traditional feel, much like the older urban homes they admired with built-in wooden buffets and classic interior home design elements. 

Where new meets old, interior home design is timeless. With their kids off to college, this happily married couple was ready for change. So they sold their home in the suburbs, got rid of all their furniture, and enlisted Interior Designer Brandi Hagen to help them create entirely new surroundings in a Minneapolis MN condo.

Living Room

Interior home design to withstand the test of time. The couple wanted to design their home right the first time – and one time – with classic elements that never go out of style. Interior Designer Brandi Hagen introduced color in easily changeable accents, such as pillows and rugs, against timeless, neutral furnishings, woods, and walls.

Foyer

Inviting foyer makes guests feel welcome. Home design elements throughout the Minneapolis condo communicate “practical luxury.” All furnishings can be used and abused, while retaining their beauty – from the stain-resistant rugs to the durable vinyl damask wallpaper. Leaded-glass transoms echo home-design elements found in early 20th century Minneapolis homes.

Guest Bathroom

The guest bathroom interior design is refreshingly simple and clean.

Media/Guest Room

Grass cloth on the media/guest room walls add texture and character to the cozy space. Built-ins hide home-theater equipment, as well as a walk-in armoire.

Master Bathroom

It’s all right here. Dark, hardwood flooring in the master bathroom adds contrast to the custom, built-in cabinets. The double-vanity mirror masks a built-in TV, which the couple can see while soaking in their traditional claw-foot tub. The room to the right features a refrigerator, coffee maker, and shower – all the homeowners need without ever having to leave the comfort of their master suite.

Powder Room

Fixtures from a century past. Interior Designer Brandi Hagen retrofits a Bombay chest to accommodate an onyx sink in the powder room. Two layers of finish protect the vanity top, perfectly polished to reflect a complementary chandelier and framed mirror.
