Kitchen Designers Online | Advantages of Hiring a Pro

Building or renovating a kitchen or bathroom is one of the most important, and expensive, investments you will make in your home. Not only does it involve careful planning, but also extensive research and building knowledge.

Kitchens and baths are both unique in that they are both aesthetic, as well as highly functional spaces. Kitchen and bath design demands a specialist. What the heart or brain specialist is to the body, that is what the Kitchen & Bath Design Specialist is to the home.

One of the primary reasons a homeowner turns to a Kitchen & Bath Design Specialist is to translate their vision while incorporating often unstated or unrealized needs, into a design that maximizes the functional use of space, desired resources and budget.

Looking at the bigger picture, a smart investment at the beginning of the project can prove to be more cost-effective in comparison to an amateur take on such a complex task – a loose, or fluid design plan often results in an undefined budget, which ultimately can cost you desired design elements at the end of the project to curtail the budget and “just finish your project” – is that really where you wanted to end up when you initially envisioned your project?

Kitchen Designers Online | Traditional vs Online Design

A recent study by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) of consumers who had remodeled or who are currently remodeling their kitchens revealed that 54% had used a designer. While a simple “refresh” or cosmetic makeover like cabinet refinishing, decorative hardware changes, updating appliances, counter tops or floors can easily be managed on your own, it is worth considering a professional designer for new builds or major renovations.

While kitchen designs vary in price, the end amount will depend on a low, mid-range or high-end kitchen. The bottom line when it come to kitchen design pricing is the extent of the design advice you seek and level of detail you want. The average cost of a Kitchen & Bath Design Specialist is $160 per hour, but can range between $65 to $250 per hour. This rate could apply to design time, meetings, phone calls, time your designer spends at your project site and more. Alternatively, some charge 10% to 20% of your total project cost. The national average total for kitchen design services ranges between $4,285 and $22,745 according to www.homeadvisor.com

Kitchen Designers Online offers full-service design options utilizing the same process, only streamlined, providing only the design services you seek, while providing a cost-effective alternative to obtain the style and functionality you desire without the extra services and fees associated with traditional design options.

With Online Design, you can tackle the design of your home one space at a time, at your own pace, and as your budget allows. Clients also have the flexibility to utilize their own unique talents and resources to supplement your budget, if desired!

Kitchen Designers Online | Determining a Budget

Renovating or designing a new build kitchen is a really big decision! The kitchen has risen in prominence, as most consider it to be the heart of the home, and in today’s terms, the core of the family’s command center!

The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) has a recommendation for the value of a kitchen remodel to help homeowners set an appropriate budget.

Breathing new life into an outdated kitchen adds value to a home in numerous ways. Choosing to do a kitchen remodel or renovation is one of the best decisions homeowners can make, regardless whether your goal is to increase the value of your house or you’re simply wanting to make it a more enjoyable place to live.

But there’s more to consider than the amount of money you can afford to spend as you create a budget. Essentially putting too much into a home improvement project can affect the rate of return (ROI) on your investment. But an appropriate kitchen remodel investment can offer a reward of up to 78% if budget is maximized and costs are kept in line.

The NKBA recommends budgeting 15-20% of the value of your home.

For example:

$250,000 home = $37,000-$50,000 kitchen remodel budget

$500,000 home = $75,000-$100,000 kitchen remodel budget

Once your budget has been determined, cut it by at least 25%. Unexpected surprises will be much less stressful if you’ve set money aside upfront as a cushion to deal with them.
