Kitchen + Bathroom Design

Back in 2023, we gathered bids from design-build firms to remodel our 1500 SF ranch home. We were quoted $85k – $150k alone for the 10′ x 11′ kitchen. And then there was another $5,000 – $8,000 cost on top of that for the design. While I’m sure their work would have been great and the housing market is strong in Madison, the reality is that it’s just not smart to invest that much in this home.  I think there’s a lot of folks in a similar position to us – deciding between doing the work themselves or hiring a small contractor.

Early on in my interior design career, I worked for remodeling contractors designing kitchens and bathrooms. I learned that these are not projects you want to go into without a plan – regardless of how big or small your budget may be. That’s why we are now offering affordable kitchen and bathroom designs. Because everyone deserves to come home and breathe a sigh of relief.

How can we offer affordable kitchen and bathroom designs? We focus on the major players. Our basic package includes a standard set of 8 of the most impactful product selections. Then, you can customize your package if you want to add or change catalog items. You can also add space planning or work with us in person if you live within 25 miles of Madison, WI!

When you’re ready to get your kitchen or bathroom design started, submit a 50% deposit of the basic package fee and schedule your consultation. If your project will be virtual, email us photos and dimensions of your room. If you need assistance, we’ve got a photo guide and measurement template to help you out.

During the consultation, we will talk about your budget, style, and needs for your space. We’ll take a look at the style boards on our Pinterest page and talk about what you react strongly to – both good and bad.

After the consultation, you will receive a mini-moodboard with two sets of the four most impactful catalog items. This gives you a little preview and an opportunity to give us feedback on which direction to take the design. How do they make you feel? Does one of the options really hit the mark? Do you love the floor of one but the cabinet of another? Don’t like either of them? Whatever it is, I promise we want to know. Because we already know the road to a successful design experience is paved with your open and honest feedback.

CONGRATS – the time has come! Your completed design package will be received in your email inbox. The personalized photorealistic 3D images and design narrative are formatted to resemble a catalog with the final page linked to each products’ brand website.

It should be noted that including brand links is a departure from our furnishing design packages, which link directly to a vendor’s website. The reasoning for this is that kitchen and bathroom projects are usually completed by a contractor – who will provide you a bid based on pricing from their established vendor relationships. So we have designed our basic package to be used as tool to help you gather comparable bids from multiple contractors. Once you’ve chosen a contractor, they can use it as a guide for their design team and/or material vendors.

If you are DIY proficient and plan to do the work yourself, we’ve got you covered too! You can customize the basic package to include direct vendor links for just $250. During your consultation, we will discuss if there are any local or nationwide retailers you would prefer to patronize.
