"I hired Jennifer for a 1-hour consultation to help me choose LVP flooring from 20 samples I ordered. We moved the samples into different rooms for comparison. Her eye for color, undertone, and design helped me narrow my choices down to two that would work well with our home's style, wood color, and decor. Thank you!"

"Kristina Kastl of KKastl interiors was terrific from beginning to end. We were living across country while the project was being done, and she supervised every detail and kept us informed all along the way. It was a very large project—updating and completely remodeling a 40-year/old"

"We had a good experience with New Look Home Remodel. They did a beautiful job remodeling our kitchen. Luke met with us to go over what we wanted and put together a computerized picture diagram of what our new kitchen would look like. Very helpful. We liked the selection of cabinets, counter and backsplash he offered us. The remodeling was completed in five weeks which is what he said it would take. He was very responsive when we called or texted with questions. The only complaint I have is that there were additional expenses he didn't tell us about upfront. His quote did not include the fee for the permit ($544.00). In addition, after the kitchen was gutted we discovered that some of the plumbing behind the sink was corroded and needed to be replaced ($1,100.00). I thought his quote was going to be all inclusive but we wound up having to pay a little more. Still, his price was fair and we would use him again if we decide to remodel our bathroom."

"Lori has been a godsend. I’d been putting off a much-needed redesign of my large apartment living room / office space for years. I’d bought a couple of good quality, neutral items (eg, a white sectional sofa), but most of the rest of the room was a hodgepodge of found items with blank walls. I’d seen things I liked but never purchased them because I wasn’t sure about what I really wanted, and I feared I might be buying the wrong thing. Lori came in and showed me an overall vision for giving more elegance and purpose to the space, with new furniture pieces, accessories, and a gorgeous, cohesive color scheme. Now it’s neutral-beautiful and everyone who visits comments on the stunning transformation!"

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Arlington Heights, IL

A professional kitchen designer is a specialist in planning and implementing the remodel of kitchen spaces. They'll help you pick materials and styles, give you a quote, render a model, and send the order to manufacturers and installers. You can think of them as creative project managers who will facilitate your kitchen project from start to finish.

No, a kitchen designer can't plan for structural remodeling since kitchen designers aren’t structural experts. Consult a pro for structural engineer fees and inquire about changes like removing a wall. Additionally, for changes to your kitchen's electrical, plumbing, or gas lines, you'll need to hire the appropriate professionals, like a licensed electrician or plumber near you.

A kitchen designer’s process includes the following:

  • Finding inspiration: They may ask for photos, feedback on material samples, and preferred fittings to understand your vision.

  • Using design tools: These include computer modeling software, 3D and high-resolution cameras for recording your space, color wheels, and sketches.

  • Considering appliances and fixtures: It’s important that each item is installed correctly, balances aesthetics and functionality, and is conveniently positioned in a kitchen work triangle.

  • Looking at the whole home: A designer will consider your home's age and style.

  • Writing up plans: After taking measurements, they create a plan based on your specifications.

It takes anywhere from 10 to 20 hours for a professional kitchen designer to come up with a fully fleshed-out plan for a mid-size kitchen. However, that time can increase if you ask for a complex, custom-designed plan. Ask your designer for a quote on both pricing and overall time frame before you start working together to ensure you're on the same page with expectations.

If you're doing an extensive kitchen renovation, hire a kitchen designer to manage the project and ensure things go smoothly for you. A major renovation may include new flooring, countertops, cabinets, lighting, and structural changes like knocking out a wall or upgrading the electrical, plumbing, or gas lines. If you're doing something more minor, like only replacing a sink or painting your cabinets, you can either pay for installation or DIY.
