OWNER, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Stephanie Agne
Stephanie Agne is a Kansas City based Interior Designer who believes design should be beautiful, of course, but also functional, comfortable and relaxed. Retreat Interior Design Studio was created after realizing how much her favorite travels inspired her own home, both in little design details recreated at home after a trip, and in her attempt to capture the relaxed and inspiring vibes of her favorite out of town respites.
​
Stephanie's design philosophy is centered around creating spaces that are comfortable and relaxed. She believes that a home should be a place where people can unwind and de-stress after a long day. Her designs often incorporate cozy textiles, warm lighting, and soft colors to create a calming atmosphere. Subtle pattern, vintage one-of-a-kind items, handmade ceramics and original art keep things interesting.
​
Stephanie became an Interior Designer during her 8-year stint as the owner of the beloved Kansas City home goods shop Golden & Pine. What started as a small 1200 square foot home decor shop filled with artists and small makers grew into a 3500 square foot lifestyle boutique and interior design studio, stocking furniture, custom rugs, home accessories, apparel and gifts. Stephanie decided to close the shop in 2023 to focus fully on her love of interior design. A serial renovator herself, she recently completed her fourth full house renovation in the last 8 years.
OUR VIBES
COMFORT
We are big fans of helping you utilize all of your spaces, and this means making sure you and your family feels relaxed and at home in all of them...even that dark basement or unused formal living room.
NATURAL MATERIALS
We adore authenticity, even in home finishes, and the majority of our projects includes natural stone, wood, solid metals and sustainable textiles like wool, linen and other natural fibers.
COLOR AS MOOD
While we adore muted and neutral spaces, we adore color of all shades and often use it to inform the mood you're seeking for your home. It's a powerful tool to create a vibe.
