Designing a kitchen can be extremely complicated due to the different elements that are required to create such a space, from the floorplan and ambient lighting, to the selection of appliances and other physical elements. However, if you were calling my advice line for interior design services, I would help you create a beautiful and functional space, fit for your home.
Similarly, while finding a designer via a friend or colleague is preferable, kitchen designers offer a broker service by guiding you through showrooms and suppliers – and by providing cost breakdown estimates of the project.
