Kitchen Design Tips

Updated: Jul 12, 2020



I believe the kitchen is the heart of the home and I agree this to be true now more than ever.

Our kitchen is the place where so much happens. From breakfast, ZOOM calls, Kids' Lunch, a wholehearted dinner prep, and where round table discussions on what's happening in the world are held.


So I decided after a client called me to consult on a renovation for their kitchen and bath renovation, that I would write about the many components that I have learned that makes a well designed kitchen.






Did you know that estimating is one of the most important aspects of the Design Renovation? Its purpose is to calculate as accurately as possible the anticipated cost

Follow along as I go through key components of a well designed Kitchen Renovation.

Information and tips based on National Kitchen & Bath Associations recommendations (NKBA). Some information comes from my experience working alongside contractors as well as working in a Kitchen and Bath Showroom designing and selecting elements for customers like you.


There are a minimum of 7 basic things to think about when planning your Kitchen Design .

Until next time, Wandra
