Kisha Gianni Designs
Kitchen Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 17, 2016
“I hired Kisha to help me with a year-long major house remodel, and she's been fantastic! She not only has a great eye for design, but she's also sensitive to cost constraints, and she's been an essential sounding-board for me on literally every aspect of the project. I would have been lost without her, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”

“ICabinetry has been great to work with on all of the jobs I have ordered through him. The product was high in quality and all the necessary toekick, scribe and filler was included. The shipments have all arrived when needed and price was great! They really know their business and are a huge help!”

“I have worked with Elizabeth on multiple projects and have always been thrilled with her design sense, her expert knowledge and her work ethic. I refer her to all my friends and clients. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!”
Hahka Kitchens
Kitchen Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2013
“Ktichen renovation. First experience with remodeling. The Hahka team were professional and supportive. Designer Linda Billings was extremely accessible and helpful. Her suggestion to incorporate an island with the character of furniture is the statement piece that adds the "wow" factor to our kitchen. General contractor Randy Hahka very clearly has a personal interest in quality work. He strongly lobbied for the replacement of louvered pantry and laundry doors with doors that more closely matched the new cabinetry-although more costly, this was definitely the right decision from a design perspective. The construction team were skillful, friendly, honest and easy to work with. We did have a few whoopsies, but I understand this is par for the course with renovation projects and at the end, nothing was left unresolved. The team very clearly made great efforts to provide customer satisfaction. Job was not completed on time, mainly due to issues with pantry/laundry doors. Very happy with the results of our project.”

“Good person with good ideas, able to create computer renderings which helped us see what things would look like and fine tune the design. We are still enjoying both the master bath and kitchen.”
The Kitchen Company
Kitchen Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 6, 2015
“Mike and Gillian Amery of The Kitchen Company are just the best! We started with a kitchen remodel and by the end had done almost the entire house! Gillian is so easy to work with, her designs are fresh, creative and inspired. She listens to the client and designs with that in mind. We have an old house with small and unusual spaces. Gillian was the only one who was able to create a plan incorporating all the space in a functional and practical manner. Mike is the construction end and runs a tight ship! The project went so smoothly that we kept adding things and were still completely finished in 2 months. The sub contractors Mike employs are professional, courteous and experts in their respective fields. We had complete piece of mind letting The Kitchen Company handle every aspect of the project from original city permitting to design through to construction and completion. We couldn't be happier with the way our home turned out and I will definitely be using them for every project in the future!”
Heritage Cabinetry & Design
Kitchen Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 29, 2015
“I was all set with cabinets that I had chosen from another source when I came to Hayward's to look at tile samples and looked at her sample cabinets on display. It became very evident to me that Katie has the knowledge to find me cabinets and help me design a kitchen that I really loved, not just a functional kitchen. Katie was very knowledgeable about kitchen design and willing to help me through the process. She opened my eyes to possibilities for making my small kitchen unique. Katie followed through and communicated with me in all aspects of the process and gave me great suggestions for color and materials in choosing my countertops and backsplash as well. I found her resources and contractors that she works with to be just as top notch as well.”
Hue of You Decor, LLC
Kitchen Designers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 1, 2017
“Hilary was able to accomplish in a reasonably short amount of time what we had been struggling with for ten years. She saw our limited wall space in a larger open area, oddly positioned fireplace, rug inset, and other challenges not as the insurmountable design challenges that had left us tired and overwhelmed. Rolling up her sleeves, she engaged her creative talents all the while assessing our preferences, budget and tolerance for the process. We recommend her very enthusiastically. She will work hard and creatively to achieve your goals.”
Channel City Lumber

“These guys all ways give us great quotes on our lumber, very prompt at delivering it, and they have been really easy to work with. and even though there down the street from Home depot, they do have a better selection of all the little parts and pieces that are needed at times. If you need some odd piece of hardware they pretty good about locating and getting it here quickly.”

Kitchen and Bathroom Designer 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.
