"He is the fourth designer that I interviewed and was the only one that understood my vision and got me, and that is why I worked with him. He has given me peace of mind with my project, and I'm still working with him and it has been a blessing for me!"

"Architect & designer, Stephanie Brick, has been so great to work with! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is capable, efficient, & will lessen the stress of any project. About 8 years ago she helped us remodel our bathroom. She knew exactly what she was doing & helped guide us thru the process. I still remember standing in a tile showroom, totally overwhelmed by the choices. I called Stephanie, at a loss of what to choose, & within 10 minutes she had reassured me & reframed my task in a new way that gave me clear inspiration. I was placing my tile order within half an hour! Stephen was so good at her job that she somehow ended up making me feel proud of what I'd done! 🤩 Mind you, this was all done with us in CA & Steph in MD. But doing the job long-distance was worth it, because of the quality, design, & integrity Steph brought to the job. We loved our experience so much that she's now designing our kitchen! I would recommend Stephanie with no reservation. "

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.
