The design of a kitchen is not just about choosing where to place cabinetry and appliances and then filling in the blanks. Actually, there are many, homeowners and pros alike, who attempt to make the design of a kitchen a simple affair in favor of speed to quickly move forward on the project. But, it shouldn't be that way. When I design a kitchen, I don't plan around any one element first, such as cabinetry, appliances, countertop space, other storage, windows, dining area or traffic flow, allowing one single element to drive the rest. Each of these elements mentioned are not only important, but critical to consider nearly equally with one another. What that means is that all elements must be considered at the same time! Really! So, it becomes an exercise in: "if this, then that" over and over again. That's where the vision comes in - to quickly and frequently look at the "big picture" in different ways and evaluate it objectively. I love the initial chaos of it all! You're actually in limbo for a little while. It starts by my doing a number of floorplans for comparison purposes. Renovating a kitchen, I think, definitely can be one of the most rewarding, fun, and enjoyable things to do. All of the senses reside in the kitchen: touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing. The kitchen is the soul of the house. I want my clients to know that , to feel it, and from my perspective, that’s what my job is. To make my clients feel comfortable with the experience. A kitchen design is practically the key to most house designs today as the kitchen is becoming the most popular area in the house where guests are entertained and where household members spend their time. Think positive - just do it Look for fun - find something funny as frequently as possible (like, a lot) Put decisions into perspective - think "first world problems" Trust and respect your design professional. Take time to make a decision when you need to - don't be or feel pressured Communicate as clearly and openly with all parties involved in the process as you can Be organized - putting your thoughts, choices, etc. onto paper will take the pressure off Did I say have fun???
