Why Hire a Professional for Kitchen Design?
Good Kitchen Design = Money Well Spent
Many people come to the decision to remodel their kitchen based on looks alone. While an updated look is certainly a good reason to start a project, a simple pull and replace of your current layout without a new kitchen design may be a financial mistake. Should it ever come time to value your home, whether for sale or to cash out equity, you may find that new cabinets and counters aren’t enough to overcome poor kitchen design.
Just as important as your bottom line, your designer will ensure your specific needs are met in your new kitchen design. Having your kitchen designer on the same page at all times is crucial to quality outcomes and creating the best value.
Ultimately, working with a professional kitchen designer provides enormous value. Designers understand the remodeling process from start to finish, are extremely knowledgeable about the latest trends and Universal Design and have relationships with the best contractors in the area.
Too Many Choices
Choice is a good thing, right? Well, yes and no! While some customers are able to easily put their finger on their design style, others find the countless choices overwhelming. A good kitchen designer will help keep you on the right path. Providing you with color combinations and working through an “A or B” selection process, they can help you narrow your choices down to a select few that truly reflect your style.
How Our Kitchen Design Process Works
In-Home Consultation
When you work with our kitchen design team you’ll immediately notice that we take the time to listen to and understand your ideas and goals for your space. From what doesn’t work in your current layout to your dreams of a commercial kitchen or bakery in your very own home! Our team is here to take all of your wants and desires and form them into a workable plan. From this we determine the full scope of your remodeling project to get from here to there.
For your in-home consultation, one of our experienced designers will come to your home at a time convenient for you. Standing in the space, both you and the designer will be able to get all of your best ideas on paper along with measurements needed to generate a 3D Rendering. We find that anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes is an adequate amount of time to set aside for this initial meeting about your kitchen design.
This is also often the time when our designer will assess the layout of the surrounding rooms. Many customers have realized, once prompted, that an adjoining pantry, closet or dividing wall is holding back their dream of a better kitchen design. While this can expand the scope of the project it is ultimately money well spent! These and other ideas will be brought to the surface for evaluation at your in-home consultation.
Showroom Consultation
Often within a few days our designer will contact you to set an appointment for a showroom consultation which includes the presentation of your custom 3D Rendered kitchen design. While your designer may have brought or referenced a few door samples at your initial consultation, this is the time to pick a door style and color for your kitchen design. It is also the best time to pair this selection with counter top and flooring selections. With these selections made our designer can adjust your rendering to show just how these might look together in your kitchen design!
It is also at this point that we ask that you consider our proposal for contracting the work as designed, so be prepared! We often book project starts anywhere from sixty to one-hundred twenty days in advance. TherEfore we encourage customers who are serious about their time-frame to;
- Take the time to make a final decision
- Sign a design retainer
Either of these will secure a spot on our schedule and allow us to continue working through any further design changes.
