If wishing were enough, we\u2019d all have the kitchen of our dreams. Truth is, designing and constructing your dream kitchen takes work. In fact, the design process takes meticulous planning, creative problem-solving, and exacting installation. The best kitchen and bath companies follow this process.<\/p>\n
Expecting to transform a kitchen in a weekend is unrealistic. Another common misconception about the design process is that good design is prohibitively expensive. Truth is, you can be unhappy with a $100,000 kitchen remodel and more than satisfied with the result of a $20,000 makeover.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all in the design process and the choices you make. A good designer knows where to spend your budget to create the kitchen you envision and can afford.<\/p>\n
Planning begins in the showroom. It\u2019s a great place to find ideas and learn what\u2019s out there. You need to see and touch cabinetry, countertops, and hardware to appreciate the quality.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also where you meet with a kitchen designer and start building a relationship before you begin building your kitchen. Don\u2019t underestimate the value of working with a qualified designer. The design process entails more than simply swapping your current kitchen plan with an identical plan, only with new cabinets. We can fully customize your space keeping your vision in mind.<\/p>\n
The design process should initially focus on your needs:<\/p>\n
What\u2019s prompting you to remodel your kitchen? Are cabinet doors falling off their hinges? Is the space too cramped for two cooks? Is the layout awkward? The best kitchen designers begin with getting to know you and your needs.<\/p>\n
Now is the time for a home visit. It\u2019s time to take accurate measurements and see the kitchen in the context of your whole house. Once your designer knows you and the opportunities and constraints of your space, they can draw up a plan.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll then be able to visualize what your new kitchen looks like thanks to computer software. You can even make changes to the design to see what different cabinet and countertop finishes would look like in your space. Taking the time to work through this design process will better ensure that you\u2019ll be happy with the results.<\/p>\n
The design process doesn\u2019t end with a layout and a selection of cabinetry, countertops, and hardware. At LJ\u2019s Kitchens and Interiors, we see it through to the end.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we have preferred contractors. We\u2019re happy to work with a contractor you hire, but we\u2019ve worked with a number of contractors and know the quality of the work they deliver. We want to ensure that the kitchen you end up with meets our standards.<\/p>\n
Before we place an order, we\u2019ll double-check every measurement. We personally check the order when it arrives. If anything is wrong or missing, we make it our priority to correct the situation and keep your installation on track. That\u2019s one less headache for you.<\/p>\n
We communicate any design changes with the contractor to avoid having to tear something out and do it over. We coordinate with all the trades involved in installing your kitchen cabinetry, appliances, flooring, dry walling, plumbing, tiling, and electrical. You have enough to do without keeping track of who needs to do what next. That\u2019s our job.<\/p>\n
We take the time to get to know you. We figure out your needs and walk you\u2014not rush you\u2014through the design process. We do all that so the time you invest in planning, designing and installing your kitchen pays off in form, function, and ultimate satisfaction with the end result.<\/p>\n
How many times have you heard these expressions: \u201cYou get what you pay for\u201d and \u201cIf you have to ask, you can\u2019t afford it\u201d? Don\u2019t let your assumptions prevent you from getting the kitchen you want.<\/p>\n
