"In August 2024, my husband and I decided to replace all of our interior furnishings. We originally started our project by working with the “designers” in the stores where we were making major purchases. It took us over 8 months to realize what a BIG MISTAKE that was. Long story short, we called Christian in April 2025. Christian came to our home and talked with us to understand the scope of the project. We wanted to redecorate the family, dining, and living rooms. Christian spent time getting to know us, asking us what we do for fun, and how we live our lives. He gleaned from us that we are adventurous travelers, with a love of the outdoors; he noticed my husband is into music and has a love of classic rock musician hard-cover biography books; he noticed that we both are somewhat minimalistic and that we prefer an orderly space. Christian’s tireless energy over the next 4 months produced recommendations for sofas, artwork, accessories, lighting, area rugs, coffee, end, and drink tables – you name it, Christian thought of it! We needed it all. His recommendations fit not only our lifestyle and our aesthetic preferences, but our personalities. Case in point, during our travels over the years, we’ve taken many photos of the places we’ve been. But these photos lived in our phones – where they weren’t being appreciated. Christian had the brilliant idea to showcase the photos on the wall in the dining room using MixTiles; he also suggested making two huge pieces of wall art for both our entryway and our living room. The result is nothing short of amazing. Christian also brought his crews in for electrical work and some painting. They were friendly, professional, speedy, and very clean. Christian was simply a joy to work with and he made our house not only beautiful, but comfortable, functional, and SO US! He was always available for a visit when a piece of furniture arrived, was always honest with his opinion, and always included my husband. Christian turned what was originally a very frustrating project into a wonderful experience and we are thrilled with the end result. We can’t say enough about Christian’s work and we are proud to call him friend. There is no other designer who will work harder for you, at a more than fair price, with a more than astonishing end result. Thank you, Christian!"

"I run a preschool in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. We had a very large deck that needed to be rebuilt. DS Legend Home Builders did an excellent job. They gave us a resonable quote. Walked us through every step that was going to take place. They also finished in less time than they originally quoted. We encountered a few hiccups, but each time I needed something, they were very quick to respond. We loved their work so much so, that we are having them do a few other projects we need done around the school. I would 100% recommend them."

"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away. The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out. Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."

"We bought a beautiful new home in Encinitas and needed some decorating help. We found Denise, and she made the whole process so easy for us. We exchanged ideas until we found the perfect fit for our style. We knew what we liked but didn’t know how to pull it all together, and Denise really helped with that. She came up with ideas we hadn’t even thought of, and we’ve gone room by room turning our house into a true home. We’re both very busy with work, so having her handle the details was such a relief. The results are warm, stylish, and personal—and even our dogs love her!"

"Charles and his team were recommended to us by several friends. We needed help with coordinating paint colors, flooring, furniture, and possible kitchen updates. We had some visions of what we wanted but kept getting overwhelmed with so many options that are available today. What we got was so much more than what had hoped for. We have so much confidence in Charles's expertise that we are continuously working with him on several other projects, still working on our kitchen, furniture pieces & design, and custom built-ins. He provides invaluable advice, taking time to really understand our likes and dislikes. He gave us an overall design for our entire home yet knew we needed to take steps to complete each area. There was never any pressure and has worked seamlessly with our busy schedule. Charles has a great vision, and an eye for detail, and gave us ideas on not only materials, and furnishing but overall layouts we never would have thought of. His organization and attention to detail are evident in every facet of his projects. Charles is truly a talented designer, and we would highly recommend him."

"Before working with Sarah Kaplan Design, my living room felt disconnected and hard to make sense of. I had ideas, but nothing felt cohesive or functional. After working with Sarah, the transformation is remarkable. She created a layout that instantly made the room feel larger, more balanced, and more modern. Her guidance on furniture, tile, and overall flow turned a space I tolerated into a space I truly love. Sarah listens, collaborates, and elevates every detail. If you?re looking for a designer who can take your vision and deliver a beautiful, thoughtful ?after,? she?s the perfect choice."

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again. "

FAQs for kitchen design service projects in Poway, CA

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.
