Professional Design:
A
professional designer can pull all the pieces of
your kitchen puzzle together. You’ll be
free to dream, while the designer
thinks through all the measurements,
material coordination, and
construction logistics.
A
professional designer will typically:
-
Visit
your home to take measurements.
-
Create
a professional design and draft a floor plan
and elevations.
-
Develop
a detailed budget and schedule.
-
Order
products and materials.
-
Coordinate
work with your contractor.
-
Oversee
the installation and placement of
the cabinets and other design
elements.
Before
meeting with a designer, consider:
-
What
you and your family like and
dislike about your current
kitchen. Bring a rough floor plan
of your kitchen with you.
-
What
general styles you
like—contemporary, traditional,
eclectic, etc.
-
Whether
you want your kitchen to reflect
the architectural style of your
home.
-
What
designs have caught your
attention—bring photos or
magazine tear-outs of your
favorites.
-
When
you want your new kitchen to be
ready.
-
How
much you want to spend.
-
What
questions you have about the
designer’s work & about the
remodeling process in general.
