Step 6: working with your kitchen designer
Knowledge, Experience, and Tools ready to Assist You – Why a Designer is Worth it
Unless you’ve tackled the task of planning a new kitchen before, you will soon realize that there are many unique considerations that must be addressed along the way.
Your Kitchen Craft Designer will collaborate with you on design aesthetics, your room’s flow and function, current kitchen design trends, the local building and installation codes, plus other non cabinet-related things like your appliances, countertops, tile, flooring and so much more.
Thankfully, your Kitchen Craft Designer has the knowledge, experience and the tools to make the kitchen remodeling journey less stressful, while making suggestions and bringing forth ideas you may not have thought about.
Let’s explore kitchen remodeling and design considerations and talk a bit about the overall style you’re looking for in your new space.
Colour and Style Expertise
As you collaborate with your Kitchen Craft designer, remember that you can always ask to see door samples, cabinet colour samples and material samples plus updated 3D renderings of your new kitchen. These tools will help you get a better idea about your vision while helping the designer to make sure that you are being realistic.
Budget Guidance
Your Kitchen Craft Designer will help guide you into making the right decisions based on your budget. Start by asking your designer to recommend or show you appropriate cabinet styles that will help you adhere to your budget, for example, suggesting alternate wood species which will look just as amazing in your new kitchen. This will save money that can be allocated to more important inclusions like perhaps a tall pull-out cabinet loaded with easy-to-reach adjustable storage shelving.
Advice on kitchen storage and organization
The kitchen is the part of your home that usually gets the most attention and overall use. Your Kitchen Craft Designer wants your new kitchen to be comfortable as well as attractive and functional. Take advantage of their suggestions, particularly when it comes to adding extra storage and kitchen organization features to your design.
Choosing a Design Aesthetic for Your New Kitchen
TRADITIONAL
This is a style that is well known and has been used for many years. Traditional style is comfortable and offers you and your family a very homey feel, with pronounced cabinet door profiles, darker wood tones and perhaps the use of embellishments.
TRANSITIONAL
Transitional is a modern approach to traditional kitchen design. It has clean lines, typically featuring a shaker style cabinet door, and may or may not include extras like mouldings and trim.
MODERN
This style is a contemporary approach to kitchen design. It is crisp and often features a simplified slab door style on the cabinets. Modern is also a kitchen design style that leaves you free to be more creative and expressive with your design.
EUROPEAN
Thanks to Kitchen Craft’s frameless cabinet construction, European style is very easy to achieve, no matter what door style you choose. This allows for more interior cabinet space, which translates into more storage. Plus, the sleek look of a run of frameless cabinetry is a very fresh aesthetic.
Kitchen renovation decisions and budgeting can feel a bit overwhelming. Working closely with a Kitchen Craft Designer will help you make decisions according to your family’s needs, choosing the best style, finish, storage solutions and flow to best fit your unique home, lifestyle and kitchen remodeling budget. The guidance of your Kitchen Designer will make sure that your final design reflects your personality and your family’s lifestyle.
