The Kitchen

It's not just a room. The heart of today's home is the kitchen. As the center of your home, every kitchen should reflect the individual personalities and lifestyles of the people who live in it.

As kitchen design specialists, we pride ourselves on helping to create a beautiful room inspired by your own unique style. But your dream kitchen goes beyond great looks. As the hardest working room in the house, functional design solutions and storage planning systems are essential to the success of the room.

Incorporating your lifestyle, cooking patterns, ergonomics and emphasizing value are all important factors in our multi-dimensional, comprehensive approach to kitchen design.

To produce a kitchen expressly for you, we rely on Birchcraft Custom Cabinetry and St. Charles to custom build your cabinetry. With superior craftsmanship in the cabinetry, stellar construction (inside and out) and smooth, durable finishes, your kitchen is a work of art with cabinetry reminiscent of fine furniture.

Maybe your preferred style is traditional, with classical details that transcend time and trends - or, perhaps you have a passion for authenticity and the aged beauty of an Old World look. If you favor contemporary styling, it's streamlined elements can take on the utilitarian, high fashion look of stainless steel or it can be warm and sophisticated using natural woods.

Architects speak of function and form and the compromises needed to achieve a satisfactory result. Kitchen design must also address these core issues to mold creative harmony with appearance, maintainability and cost.
And with today's typical kitchen featuring multipurpose islands, integrated workstations and task-oriented counters of differing heights, demands for unique combinations of traditional and cutting-edge technology countertop materials are becoming commonplace.

A kitchen designer may be asked to create a country look... or a post modern look.... or a traditional formal look.... or a contemporary look.... or a warm-and-comforting look. Or the customer may want an open kitchen that interacts with other rooms in the home.
