Working with a Designer

| May 25, 2012 8:39 AM

Working with a Designer helps you put all the necessary components into your project in ways that you may not recognize. Professional Designers have a trained eye to take your project to its fullest potential. A Designer will typically:

- Make an appointment to visit your home and take measurements.

- Create a design and draft perspectives, elevations and a floor plan.

- Develop a detailed budget and schedule.

- Help you select the best options for your budget.

- Take care of the details of ordering products and materials.

- Coordinate measures, templates and installation of cabinets and countertops.

- Oversee the installation and placement of the cabinets and other design elements.

Before you meet with a Designer, you should consider:

- What you and your family like and dislike about your current kitchen, bath or laundry room.

- Bring a rough floor plan of your room with you.

- Know what general styles and colors you like: contemporary, traditional or minimalist, etc.

- Whether your want your kitchen or bath to reflect the architectural style of your home or if you would like to incorporate a different style into your plan.

- What designs have caught your attention? Bring magazine pictures, take photos of kitchens, baths and laundry room you like.

- When you would like your new kitchen, bath or laundry room to be ready.

- How much you are prepared to spend.

- Any questions you may have about the Designer's work or the construction process in general.
