What to Look For in a Kitchen Designer
Finding a good kitchen designer is a daunting task. There are so many different options from hiring an interior designer to finding a cabinet maker to running out to IKEA.
But what it comes down to is making sure that you are getting a quality product for the large investment you are making in your home. There are many fundamentals to kitchen design that are needed to ensure that you get a quality result.
The following fundamentals are important when looking for a kitchen designer.
Kitchen Fundamentals
There are many aspects to designing the optimal kitchen. Making sure that you have a designer that is able to work at both a high level and also get into the details.
Important things that a designer should be able to help with:
Situating
Defining the area that the kitchen will occupy and the relationship to the surrounding areas. Thinking through the path to carry in groceries to the removal of trash, recycling or compost.
Layout Planning
A great kitchen should feel intuitive. Creating a thoroughly customized work triangle that is tailored to the space, ensuring your layout eliminates friction. Make sure that everything from storage to food prep to cooking and cleaning are thoroughly thought through.
Appliance Selection
Picking the best tools that perform the type of tasks that you envision for having your kitchen perform optimally. Whether thinking about different ways of cooking to warming drawers for staging larger gatherings to beverage centers for kids to grab drinks. Ensuring that the appliances fit within the budget, look elegant, and are able to seamlessly integrate into the kitchen.
Visual Quality
The kitchen is one of the few places to really show off materials. Selecting and using materials to their full potential creates opportunities for a truly stunning looking kitchen. The material selection also has to perform and hold up to whatever gets thrown at it.

Key Design Elements
Intuitive Lighting Schemes
Lighting is an often overlooked important element in the kitchen. Layering task, ambient, and accent lighting to ensure your workspace has enough light to safely perform tasks or can be dimmed for an ambient glow. Looking at different light temperatures that goes from a more natural colored ambient light to a warmer, inviting accent lighting.
Custom Moments
From integrated appliances that disappear into the cabinetry to pop-up charging stations, making sure that a kitchen has been well thought-through to make sure that there aren’t opportunities for clutter.
Sustainable Luxury
Prioritize energy-efficiency, long-lasting materials, and low-VOC finishes to ensure your kitchen is healthy for both you and the planet. A kitchen that lasts for generations is better than one that is refreshed frequently chasing the trends.
