Featured Reviews for Kitchen Designers

Salted, LLC
Kitchen Designers
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2015
“Amy excels at designing interesting spaces that, simultaneously, draw you in with the very tactile, comfortable nature of them. Her aesthetic is both quirky and classic. She can do neutral, but she is not afraid of color, either- bursts of it that provide great visual impact. She thrives at finding very different pieces that lend the "wow" factor to a room. In short, her spaces start conversations!”

“Shelly Is an amazingly talented designer and an absolute pleasure to work with! Hiring her was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She listened to what I wanted and then improved on my original ideas, she finished a day early and kept under the budget I set. Absolutely thrilled with the final result!”

“Donald was asked to create a personal, unique 9’x6’ 3D mural for our personal residence in Powell, TN. We stipulated certain features to include a near image of the front side of our house, along with water, landscape, and wildlife. He provided sketches and met with us for several adjustments prior to beginning. The result is a gorgeous showcase piece that everyone who enters our home sees and is awed by! We are truly impressed and amazed by this lasting artwork that will be forever cherished and appreciated. Donald was a craftsman, artist, professional, gentleman, and terrific fellow all-around whom we trusted in our home. All expectations were met or exceeded. We’re now confident the artwork will add value to the sale of our home, if and when that occurs. Thank you Donald McCorkle!”

Local Custom Artist FAQs
The duration of a kitchen design project varies widely based on scope, but a complete kitchen renovation can typically take 3 to 6 months from initial design to completion. Planning and design might take 1 to 2 months, while construction and installation will take another 2 to 4 months. Remember, customization and material availability can impact these timelines.
Kitchen designers are knowledgeable about the latest design trends and materials, ensuring your kitchen is both stylish and functional. Sustainable materials and smart kitchen technologies are currently popular, as are designs that promote open spaces and natural light. Quartz remains a top choice for countertops due to its durability and aesthetic variety. Your designer can help you navigate these options, balancing current trends with timeless design principles.
Before consulting a kitchen designer, gather inspiration (photos, magazines, online boards) to clarify your aesthetic preferences. Also, think critically about your budget and functional needs (e.g., cooking habits, number of users, storage requirements). Being clear about your needs and wants will help the designer create a tailored solution.
The most common challenges include staying within budget, making decisions among numerous options, and managing the disruption of construction. Experienced kitchen designers address these by establishing a clear budget upfront, guiding homeowners in making informed decisions, and creating a detailed project timeline. Regular communication is key to navigating unforeseen issues smoothly.
Expect regular updates and open communication channels throughout your project. Professional kitchen designers often use project management software to track progress and decisions, ensuring transparency. Meetings at key milestones for approvals and feedback are standard. Itʼs reasonable to expect responsiveness within 24-48 hours for any inquiries you may have during the project.
To achieve a balance between trendiness and timelessness, focus on incorporating trends through easily changeable elements like paint colors or hardware, while keeping foundational elements (e.g., cabinetry, flooring) classic and durable. Your kitchen designer can guide you in selecting materials and designs that reflect current trends without sacrificing longevity or comfort.
