Starting a Kitchen Remodel can be a scary idea. There is the cost, the time, the impact on your house, what and where to eat while you are under construction, where to start finding a half decent contractor, the design and sourcing ALL THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS, can you claim it on your taxes even! SO many questions that it can feel daunting and impossible. The real question is who to turn to to start answering all of these Kitchen Remodel questions—-and the answer is an interior designer, your guide in this whole process.

Interior designers are not just pillow flutters and paint selectors! Albeit that we are great at that too, we are also adept project managers, collaborators with architects and contractors, and we work with Draftspeople to create designs like you see above. It is a fantastic opportunity to create drawings and 3D Drawings for you to really see what you completed kitchen renovation will accomplish.

Indeed, because we have longstanding relationships with numerous vendors and craftspeople, we can directly guide you towards the right kind of plumbing, appliances, hardware, lighting, cabinetry and tile to suit your tastes and budget. The cost of the work will always stay the same whether you are installing an inexpensive cabinet or a very expensive one so being very knowledgeable about all of the building materials has the biggest effect on the outcome of the budget. It can take weekend after weekend of searching—ie MONTHS—-for a couple to find all of the right materials vs working with a designer who can bring them all to you in one design presentation

Working with other professionals and vetting them can be a complex process as well as reading and understanding their estimates for the remodel. Being able to help the client decipher and compare professionals is one of the aspects of the relationship between Ashleigh Underwood Home & Interior Design and the client that we really appreciate.

Ultimately, working with a designer does not just leave you with a designer kitchen, it also makes your kitchen remodel run on time with a clear and explicit budget, a great group of professionals working on your kitchen remodel and the right materials for the right cost. AND we will help you figure out where to cook your food while you are under construction and keep your house pleasant while building is going on. We want very happy clients! You have an empty space—-what beautiful thing can we create together?
