| A common problem with kitchen renovation projects is that many people choose not to use the services of a cabinet maker to do their kitchen design. The result is often a kitchen renovation with an overabundance of cabinetry, a lack of functionality, costly errors in construction, and an uncoordinated completed kitchen. Another common problem is using an interior designer that does not specialize in kitchen design or using an interior decorator rather than a kitchen designer.
The design of a kitchen requires design in terms of functionality and design aesthetics and includes everything from layout to selection and coordination of all the elements: flooring, cabinetry (door style and finish), handle selection and metal schedule, countertop, backsplash, fixtures, faucets, paint colours, lighting design, window coverings, fabrics, wallpapers, and other design features.
An interior designer that specializes in kitchen design can ensure your success by
1. Meeting with you in your home to understand your home and your family’s needs. This will ensure that the design of your kitchen renovation meets your family’s needs and complements the style of your home.
2. Providing you with a detailed design including layout drawings and elevation drawings so that you can understand the functionality and final look of the space when construction is completed.
3. Providing you with a detailed electrical / lighting plan that is customized to the design of the new kitchen. Lighting design is not an afterthought but an integrated and important piece of the overall kitchen design.
4. Providing you with direction in terms of your appliance purchases that will save you time and money.
5. Presenting you with a selection of materials, finishes, and fixtures that coordinate with you home and personal style and explaining to you why these elements work together. The result? You have the peace of mind of knowing that all the elements coordinate with one another and your home and that you will not incur costly errors associated with purchasing and installing the wrong materials.
6. Saving you time during construction because all the construction details, materials, finishes, and fixtures are known prior to the start of construction and are delivered to site in a timely manner to facilitate construction.
5. Ensuring that your trades have detailed plan during construction resulting in time and being saved by avoiding costly errors and re-work.
