For what feels like a gazillion years, you’ve been dreaming of remodeling your kitchen.

But, you’re exhausted from trying to connect the dots between the inspiration you find on pinterest, instagram or houzz and all the steps it takes to make it a reality. 

And while it’s frustrating + ITS wearing you down — it’s changed you + how you feel about home.

As is, your kitchen doesn’t function well for you or your family. The drawers are a disaster, the appliances are old + dated, and most of all you hate cooking + entertaining in a kitchen that doesn’t feel like it represents who you are.

You’re not only discontent with your kitchen but you’re overwhelmed with all that life is throwing your way right now. You don’t feel proud of your home so you rarely invite anyone over.

And that’s unsettling to say the least because it’s not who you are at your core.

BUT, THERE’S GOOD NEWS. You want it?

You’re a parenting skills are on point, you’re an excellent co-worker who goes above + beyond. Did I mention, dear hubby out-kicked his coverage when he found you? Wink.

KITCHEN REMODEL COMPANIES IN SEATTLE

Maybe your kitchen has you feeling less than inspired to cook these days, well there's nothing like a complete kitchen to get you falling head over heels for your kitchen again. With natural stone or quartz countertops, luxury kitchen appliances and a better use of your kitchen's existing space, what was once a frustrating and underwhelming kitchen can truly be transformed.

Regardless of whether or not your kitchen needs some dramatic changes or a complete overhaul, when it comes to a kitchen remodel there’s more than meets the eye. 

Not only is there plumbing, electrical and potentially gas lines to consider but the design visuals of cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, lighting and appliances matter help ensure the aesthetic and functionality you desire is met.

WHICH IS WHY A KITCHEN REMODEL REQUIRES PLANNING.

In the end, you want a kitchen that meets the demands of your family to suit your aesthetic preferences and complement the rest of your home. You can’t just throw a bunch of things together and hope it magically works. A beautiful kitchen is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing, and it's important to keep front of mind just how many decisions there are to make when undertaking a kitchen remodel.

From appliances with custom cabinetry skins that elevate the look and feel of your kitchen to stone countertops, backsplashes, fixtures and lighting finishes there are infinite choices and a limitless amount of possible decisions. But you want them done right, because you know that any one of them can turn the beautiful new kitchen you desire into an awkward eyesore you’re unhappy with.

And that’s exactly where our professional kitchen design and remodel services come into play.


START WITH DESIGN, FIRST.

By hiring an interior designer first, you're ensuring that the functionality and the aesthetic of your kitchen is well thought out. A kitchen remodel in Seattle, WA is an investment in time, energy and money so you want to be sure what a contractor brings to life is truly what you want.

And let’s be real friend, contractors aren't designers. It’s our job not just to design the pretty but to help you think through every step of what cooking, eating, hosting and living in your remodeled kitchen actually looks like — before it happens. We’ll ensure your kitchen makes the most of your existing space and provides everything that you need in a kitchen. 

Instead of working with various kitchen remodel companies in Seattle, we’ll be your confidant + be stride for stride helping to manage it all, from design, remodel, to the final finishing touches, and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the process… what?!?!?


ELEGANT SIMPLICITY SEES IT THROUGH

In fact, according to local studies, most consumers actually hire a designer for a kitchen remodel. But a designer alone won't be able to knock out the build, which means that consumers often take their completed design to a kitchen remodel company that can finish the job. That's where we come in. Rather than leaving you with just a design, we'll keep and manage the project all the way through to completion, taking all the guesswork out of the remodeling process.

Blending organizing and design, we're here to show you that the new age of kitchen remodel companies has arrived in Seattle. Unless you work with someone that has the big picture of how life unfolds for you + your family, you’ll likely end up with a new kitchen, but not one that really meets your needs. 


THE RISKS OF DIY

Sure, you could attempt to go DIY or hire one of those kitchen remodel companies in Seattle that treats beautiful and functional design like an afterthought, but that’s not what you want.

Working with an interior designer with over a decade of experience and someone who takes the time to gain a true understanding of how you live helps not only to get your project started right but ensures that at every step of the way you’re making decisions that move you closer to your goals for the beautiful kitchen.

We'll manage your kitchen remodel from design to completion, considering things like floorplan, lighting, ergonomics, organizing storage, materials, appliances and -- last but certainly not least -- a stunningly beautiful design.

Once the design is done, we'll work with one of our fabulous kitchen remodel companies in Seattle to turn that design into a reality, guiding and seeing the project through to completion. This way you get the best of both worlds: the design you want and a kitchen built by professionals who are great at what they do.

THIS ISN’T A “RETAIL” PROJECT

The secret is that when you buy from a retailer, their helpful design and installation add-ons are just that -- secondary to the primary function of selling you a product.

On the other hand, by working with an interior designer and their network of kitchen remodel companies in Seattle, you'll be getting professionals that experience the challenges and the inevitable hiccups that go with real life design, remodeling and construction.

Kitchen design isn't focused on specific products, it's an art that considers, how can your kitchen in your home be redesigned to better fit your needs? Less "how to remodel a kitchen" and more "what can be done to make this kitchen more usable and aesthetically pleasing to those that have to look at and use it day after day?"

Even a specialty showroom can leave you like a ball and chain pulled in different directions, confused and less than enthused after you walk away with a design and a complicated purchase order, raising more questions than answers when it comes to actually completing the project.

Truth boo, a great design can be a problem if you don't know where to take it next, and that's why we work directly with kitchen remodel companies in Seattle to seamlessly realize all the work that went into the design.
