Crafting Harmony:
Philosophy of Kitchen and Home Remodeling

Your kitchen renovation should be tailored to your needs and flow seamlessly with your home’s existing interior design and architecture.

When planning a kitchen remodel, partnering with an interior designer is key to creating a space that’s both beautiful and functional. Together, we’ll define your style and explore the best cabinetry options, whether custom-built or high-quality production lines to suit your needs, budget and compliments your home architecture and style.

But kitchen design goes far beyond cabinets. We’ll thoughtfully layer in color palettes, lighting, ceiling details, flooring, seating, fabrics, and window treatments. Every element is selected to support how you live and entertain—creating a kitchen that feels uniquely yours.

Before visiting a kitchen remodeling showroom, it’s useful to understand some common limitations:

1. Limited Product Selection: Since showroom salespeople represent their specific brand, your kitchen design options are limited to the products they carry.

2. Sales Over Customization: Their main focus is selling their cabinet lines, so custom kitchen cabinets are usually not available. While some backsplash or countertop options might be offered, expect a limited selection, especially when it comes to quartz countertops.

Showrooms typically concentrate only on cabinetry, countertops, and backsplashes, often overlooking important design elements like wall and ceiling treatments, flooring choices, furniture, fabrics, and how all these components harmonize with your home and lifestyle.

When working with my clients on a kitchen remodel, I prioritize balancing function and beauty. The design should feel like a seamless extension of the surrounding living spaces, creating a cohesive and welcoming environment.

The Kitchen: Still the Heart of the Home

The kitchen has come a long way from being a closed-off space with a simple pass-through window. Since the open-concept trend of the 1990s, it has evolved into the centerpiece of the home—often merging with the family room, patio, and even replacing formal living and dining areas altogether.

Today’s kitchens are designed with both purpose and personality. Large dining tables encourage connection, while peninsulas and oversized islands double as prep spaces and casual gathering spots. Pendant lighting, statement range hoods, and glass-front cabinets with interior illumination elevate function into form. And let’s face it—no modern kitchen feels complete without a generous island with seating.

Material choices have come a long way, too. In the '90s, cherrywood cabinets and tumbled marble backsplashes were the gold standard, often accented by picture-framed decorative tiles. Granite dominated the countertop scene, with favorites like Black Galaxy, Baltic Brown, and my go-to: Uba Tuba—a sparkling dark green that paired beautifully with rich wood cabinetry.

Though styles have shifted and materials have multiplied, the essence of the kitchen remains unchanged. It's where people gather, where stories are shared, and where design truly meets daily life. As designers, we don’t just create kitchens we craft the backdrop for how our clients live, entertain, and connect.
