OUR INSIGHTS

The kitchen, often the epicenter of the home, can be the most rewarding yet challenging area to remodel due to its multifaceted nature. While visual design is important, functionality also plays a large role in the overall success of a kitchen design. We tailor our approach to kitchen design around each client, focusing on their individuals needs and desires. The kitchen triangle, which is based on the connection and accessibility between the sink, range, and refrigerator, is at the heart of all kitchen design. Is our client a culinary enthusiast, avid baker, or casual home cook? Do they need a lower counter area for kneading or a hidden coffee station for their morning cup of coffee? Their cooking habits inform appliance choices and placement. Microwaves, ovens, and prep areas all deserve careful consideration to make sure the kitchen is in alignment with each clients’ unique lifestyle and needs. Striking the right balance in appliance layout is key; too close or too far apart can both impede functionality. The best design kitchens are those that you don’t even think about the design or functionality while using, it all just flows naturally.

We love the functionality of a kitchen island, which is a popular kitchen feature, and strive to make sure it works well in the overall flow & placement of the kitchen. An incorrectly designed island can act as a barrier, restrict movement, and become more of a hinderance than help in a heavily trafficked space. Not all features will work in a kitchen and it’s important to understand the balance of form, function & design when reimagining your kitchen.

Cabinets and storage solutions serve as the very foundation of successful kitchen design. It is the item that gets used the most in the kitchen and therefor needs to not only look nice but also hold up to the needs of our clients.. It's worth noting that quality doesn't necessarily equate to custom. The cabinet industry offers a wide spectrum of options, each with its own merits and considerations. We value that conversation with our clients, making sure we find the right balance between cost, quality & design. The world of cabinetry is constantly evolving, with fun and functional new insert and built-in options hitting the market every day. From pullout drawers for garbage bins to convenient pop-up mixer stands, even microwave drawers and built-in stepping stools, the possibilities are endless. We understand that a kitchen is more than a collection of appliances and cabinets; it’s the heartbeat and main gathering place of your home.
