Inspiration for Renovation

No room inspires love and obsession the way the kitchen does. From the food fixated who want a culinary lab to the entertainer who loves fashion over function. No matter how you use it, the truth is—the kitchen is the heart of the home. Whether you’re working with an architect, a contractor, a designer or Williams design pro, we will help you love your kitchen now and for years to come.

Lighting

Lighting in a kitchen has to be bright for workspaces and giving o plenty of ambient light. And fixtures are like jewelry in a room, so make sure you tell a story

Paint

Paint is the easiest and quickest design hack for any room...especially a kitchen. Don’t want to replace your cabinets? Paint them for a new look. Think out of the box. It will make you feel like you have a brand new kitchen.

Cabinets

Cabinets are your biggest kitchen decision. They need to have a relationship with your space and be a balance of your personal style and your home’s décor

SINKS/FAUCETS

You probably use your kitchen sink and faucet the most, so the size of your sink and functionality of your faucet are important. Make sure the sink is big/deep enough for your needs and your faucets fit your style

4 STAGES of Kitchen Love

STAGE 1: ATTRACTION

Hmmm…Who’s That?

Don’t want a big change, but you want a little zhush? Change your cabinet hardware and sink faucet. These may seem like small changes, but they make a big impact.

STAGE 2: DATING

It’s Casual

Want that extra sense of design in your kitchen without too big of a commitment? Change the lighting. Adding decorative lighting can transform a room. Hang a long light over an island, pendants over a peninsula, or surface mounted lights in key positions. It will feel like more than a kitchen.

STAGE 3: NONSTOP PASSION

I’m Obsessed

Change the look and feel of your kitchen by replacing the countertops and backsplash: two functional yet decorative items. Consider using the same material for the countertop and the backsplash for a clean, contemporary look, even in a more traditional kitchen.

STAGE 4: THE FULL COMMITMENT

I Do

Countertops

There are more countertop choices than ever. Decide what’s important to you: the look? wearability? color? Think about thickness of the counter, edge detail, matte, honed or high sheen finish. Also consider using the same material for countertop and backsplash.

When creating your dream kitchen, design it to relate to the architecture and decor of the rest of your home. A total kitchen renovation is an investment so work with a kitchen specialist, an interior designer or an architect. It’s your opportunity to create your ultimate kitchen and it’s important to nail it right the first time.
