The most important aspect in kitchen design is Layout. A kitchen must be arranged in such a way that it works for you, fits your lifestyle and most importantly, has the necessary clearances and ergonomic dimensions for ease of use. This is why we spend good time in the beginning of the project to understand your needs. We typically create 1-3 kitchen layouts to choose from and help you finalize the one that will function best for you. The second most important aspect in kitchen design, is Lighting. We often see new kitchens poorly lit, something unacceptable with today's lighting options and technologies. We propose a layered lighting scheme to ensure you have plenty of task lighting, but also low lighting for a more soothing mood, while watching TV, eating dinner, etc. 

 

Ceiling Details, such as a dropped, coffered, or tray ceiling above your kitchen island, are an excellent way to define the space and add architectural interest. These design elements can also integrate functional and decorative lighting to serve as a stunning focal point. We are here to design it for you, and document it for the contractor.

Plumbing Fixtures and Appliance Selections are also critical in kitchen design and we are more than happy to help you make these choices, as a part of our kitchen design service.

The Aesthetic of a kitchen comes last, after functionality has been thoroughly addressed. It is the time to have fun selecting from the various cabinet door styles, stain and paint colors, finish materials for countertops and backsplash, as well as hardware and light fixtures, the jewelry of every kitchen. Many clients find this part very stressful. We are here to help make it easy and effortless. Can't picture how it will all look? No problem, we generate a 3D model for your reference. Even though no 3D rendering looks exactly how every material and color will actually look in your kitchen, we get pretty close and it's enough to communicate the design intent.
