Main Line Kitchen Design

Main Line Kitchen Design is a unique business model! We are a group of skilled Kitchen Designers each with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 8 nationally distributed cabinet lines much like traditional showrooms. Unlike full showrooms open to the general public, Main Line Kitchen Design works only by appointment. Appointments can be scheduled days, nights, and weekends either in your home or in our office and selection center. During office appointments we display clients kitchens on a flat screen TV and help them look through 100’s of sample doorstyles, almost a thousand sample finish blocks and sample kitchen cabinets. During home visits we can bring samples, take measurements, and make design changes on laptops showing you what your kitchen can look like in the very room being renovated. This is more convenient for our customers and it eliminates the expense of staffing and maintaining a larger space that is open to walk in traffic. We pass the significant savings on to our customers and so we sell cabinetry for less than other dealers, even home centers like Lowes and The Home Depot. We believe that since a web site like Houzz.com has over half a million kitchen photos any advantage to going to a full kitchen showroom with full kitchen displays has been lost. Almost no customer today will ever get to see a display kitchen in their door style and finish because there are just too many possibilities. And the design of each kitchen is unique anyway.

Baker's Kitchen

madDesigns kitchens, baths, interiors

We took a compact closed in space and created this light and airy workhorse, still compact, but not closed in! Maximizing the space, we attached high island cabinets carefully calculated to allow our 6'4" homeowner to have an unobstructed view, but still reach items used less frequently. The baking station is lower at 30"h which is not only standard for baking stations, but necessary for the 5'3" mom.

This beautiful century old home had an addition aded in the 80's that sorely needed updated. Working with the homeowner to make sure it functioned well for her, but also brought in some of the century old style was key to the design.

In the kitchen, the caramel creaminess of the bamboo cabinetry in this open-format kitchen is counter-balanced by the grey tile and salt and pepper ripple in the counters. Quite a tasty combo.

Linwood

Charleene's Houses, LLC

Our customers at Linwood Ave. hired us to complete a full 3-story renovation for their row house, in the ever popular neighborhood of Canton. We were tasked with taking the separate & combined needs of our newly engaged couple, to create a space that didn't feel compromised. For starters, we needed optimal storage, maximal light, and space for entertaining. On the main level we opened up their living/dining/kitchen, but created a mudroom in the back that could store bikes, outdoor equipment, coats, shoes, and every other eyesore that is useful but should not be seen. For the kitchen, we wanted to create a space that was highly functional, and didn't leave the home feeling like another shot-gun row house. By building a wall for the mudroom, it allowed us to utilize both sides of the kitchen while keeping our sight lines open. For their master bathroom we packed in a lot of luxury for a small space. The bathroom included a large shower, double vanity, and separate toilet room. We installed medicine cabinets and built-in storage wherever there was an opportunity. Overall, the end result is an elegant space that the couple has room to grow into, for years to come.

J.Sweitzer-Architects LLC

After removal of a wall separating the kitchen from the original dining room the space now flows from the kitchen to the new media room, formerly the dining room. The steel column is a "jacket" around the second floor bathroom waste pipe. Storage in the kitchen includes upper-upper cabinets for seasonal items. By a simple removal of a non-load bearing wall and the closing of two openings into the original kitchen the counter space and cabinet storage was tripled.

Kitchen with Porcelain Backsplash and a Peninsula Ideas

No room is quite as multifunctional as the kitchen with Porcelain Backsplash and a Peninsula.

Find thousands of kitchen with Porcelain Backsplash and a Peninsula ideas to help you come up with the perfect design for your space.

How do I determine my kitchen layout?

If you're starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. When it comes to layout, always optimize your space; focus on functionality and how your design can cater to the needs of you and your family. For tight spaces, a galley layout is a great kitchen remodeling option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped design with a big center island or peninsula. These shapes provide plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. Reviewing kitchen with Porcelain Backsplash and a Peninsula pictures and photos is a great way to get a feel for different kitchen layouts and help you decide what you want. Another essential kitchen remodel essential to consider is the work triangle, which is a 70-year-old concept that is still highly utilized within the design world today. A simple idea that can save both time and energy, the work triangle connects the three main work areas: the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. As a general guideline, the distance between these areas should be no less than 4 feet and no larger than 9 feet. The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet and 26 feet. Given how highly effective this utilitarian design is, definitely take it into account when considering kitchen designs.

How can I add more kitchen storage?

Kitchen designs can be a complex undertaking given the sheer amount of items that the room usually contains. In order to store and organize all your cookware, bakeware and small appliances, you need cabinets, drawers and shelves to spare. To maximize your space, you can include cabinets in your island, purchase spice racks, install hanging pot racks, insert pullout storage and invest in a cart. You want to achieve clutter-free countertops, so also consider spaces you may never have before, such as corners or under the sink. You can also free up some space by storing infrequently used items outside of actual kitchens, like in storage rooms or basements.
