The Design Build Approach is the most cost-effective method of delivering residential remodeling projects. This is the approach Palm Beach Kitchens & Interiors uses. It is a focused, fast and efficient way of delivering you your new kitchen, bath, floors, wall colors, or any combination of renovations that you need.

I have to ask you a question: How are you sure you're going to love your new kitchen after it's finished? Why leave your Kitchen to chance? What is the extra step nobody thinks about before they remodel their kitchen? Could you be Wasting Your Time and Money, as a Florida. Homeowner Who is remodeling your kitchen? What is the step you're forgetting? Use an Interior Designer! Hiring an Interior Designer who specializes in designing kitchens is a smart decision. Think about it- you're investing a good bit of money into your home and want it to be a showcase, and function its best for you and your family. You're not wanting any old kitchen-this is YOUR kitchen! What exactly are you spending your money on? Believe me, in 25 years of designing and specifying kitchens, I have seen all kinds of things- some great, some not so great. And some really bad, expensive mistakes. Designers truly serve a purpose for everyone. We can make your kitchen and space and even your whole home look expensive, when in reality it is not. Forget about the idea that interior designers are only for the rich and famous. In reality they save you a great deal of time, money, and frustration. Whether you have no idea where or how to begin, or you have an idea but need help tying the pieces together, or you just don't have the time to execute your style and desires due to your hectic schedule, hiring an Interior Designer is a wise and sensible choice. What does an Interior Designer do for you when you are about to spend a lot of time and money- say over $30,000-50,000? Here are 5 things: 1. Save Money It might sound strange that hiring someone to Design your home would save you money if you have the additional fee of the designer (wait a minute-do you? or is it included?) Hiring a Designer will help you avoid costly mistakes or unnecessary steps that not only will save you money now, but also increase the value of your home. Have you ever seen colors or design features- inside or out- on a house that just didn’t make sense, or even make you wince? I’m sure you have. Those are features that lower your perception of a home’s value. Interior Designers are aware of elements that lower the desirability and therefore the value of the home. 2. Prevent Mistakes- the LOVE-HATE list. All roads to Rome are NOT alike. A Designer can give you a professional assessment of your situation, after finding out about your goals that will lead to a solid plan of action, that will make sense for you. It is key to determine what will be repurposed and what should be edited. This is our Love-Hate list. What do you love and what do you hate, not only in your kitchen but your whole home.  This will enable us to find out more about your preferences and also to tie elements that you love currently about your home in with your kitchen. A Designer knows exactly how to do that. You will get a beautiful, professionally, designed result that resonates throughout your home, not just your kitchen. This principal also affects the budget and helps you to spend it more efficiently. A designer offers an extra set of eyes for editing, and these eyes are trained to see and notice things that you may not have been aware of. 3. Specifying the Best Materials for Your Purposes I could spend a whole day talking about how kitchen cabinets are built. Therefore, I know how they are made, and the endless materials that are used. How, where and why- here in the US and all over the world. We can provide any cabinet you would like and guide you to what is necessary for the look and function you need. We can also prevent spending on what is not necessary. 4. The Interior Designer Is in Your Court A designer builds a stronger bridge between you and your contractor early on and can head off design misses in your overall plan. She watches the install as the Project Manager to catch any mistakes. This is crucial in managing time and money. Have I had to halt a project, take out a whole installation of cabinets that were installed 2 inches too far under a window? Yes. Have I removed a countertop of expensive quartz that was not fabicated well and was broken, and did we replace that, and make it right? Yes. Was it difficult? For me yes, for my client- no. And that's what I guarantee. That's what I'm here for. 5. The Wow Factor Designers can give you the wow factor you’ve been looking for. They are trained to think differently, spatially and to see an overall picture that clients often cannot. Thinking outside the box is what Designers do all day long.
