PROJECT PLANNING

In creating custom-built products, we can tailor an interior suited precisely to your lifestyle. We take great care to understand your needs before the planning stage to make sure we create a good design that works for you.

PREPARE A BUDGET

How much is your dream kitchen going to cost? It may be difficult to determine an exact figure but it is possible to estimate to keep your budget in line with your spending resources. Figuring approximate amounts for appliances, countertops, backsplashes, faucets and accessories will help to determine your choices and keep you on track.

DEFINITION OF A GOOD DESIGN

A Unified Look

The most important part of any room is that it has a unified look. The key to a unified look is how each individual part relates to the others. All dissimilar items or elements of the space are visually tied together in an organized, logical, balanced - yet interesting way.

A Timeless Look

The second most important is that it stands the test of time. Avoid fads and what is currently defined as fashionable. Concentrate on proven style and solid quality, which is based on the durability of the design solutions and products incorporated in the room.

To add sparkle to such a cautious approach to design, specify bold patterns or colors or unique materials for surfaces that are easily changed over the life expectancy of the room.

Personalizing the Design

Our designers first spend more time listening than talking, learning about our clients' likes and dislikes. Learning what their dreams and hopes are for their new kitchen and bath while at the same time establishing a budget for the project.

Key elements and standards our designers follow in order to strive to make the kitchens and bathrooms they create reflect the clients' interests and preferences:

  • General Client information
  • Identify budget for the project
  • Identify time frames
  • Identify key decision makers (i.e. interior designers, architects, contractors/builders)
  • Specific Kitchen and Bath questions as to who and how they will be used
  • Product Specifications (i.e. appliance specifications, flooring, lighting and wall finishes)
  • Construction Constraints (i.e. architectural or mechanical elements)
  • Design information
