When you think about a kitchen renovation, what comes to mind? Even though the kitchen is the heart of your home, for many, a renovation is simply swapping out tired cabinets, replacing old countertops, or choosing new appliances. They think this is the only option within reach, assuming that moving walls and changing configuration is out of budget or not technically feasible. But what if your kitchen could be much more than just a cookie-cutter version of what you already have? What if it could be thoughtfully designed around your life, your home, and your unique vision?
At Susan Corvo Redesign, we encourage you to Reimagine Your Home. We believe a designer who specializes in custom kitchens should truly help you think beyond what currently exists. They should listen carefully, gathering insight into what you love, what frustrates you, and how you want your kitchen to function day to day. BEFORE any options are considered, your designer should be asking questions like:
- How often do you cook and do you enjoy it? Are you a gourmet chef or reheater? Do you batch cook for the week? Do you freeze a lot?
- How often do you use your heavier small appliances such as mixers and food processors?
- Are you more formal or casual?
- What’s your daily household schedule?
- Do you host friends and family on weekends?
- Do you need a clutter-free environment with clever storage solutions?
- Do you enjoy displaying favorite cookbooks, dishes or knickknacks?
- Do you want the space to feel warm and homey or cool and sleek?
By weaving your wishes with an extensive knowledge of space, light, construction, and style, a client-centered, professional interior designer creates kitchens that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal.
A Kitchen That Fits Your Whole Home
Though often centered around an island, a new kitchen isn’t an island unto itself—it needs to feel harmonious with the rest of your home. With a keen eye, this designer ensures that the style, finishes, and flow of your kitchen connect seamlessly with adjacent rooms. An airy open-concept space, for example, should feel just as inviting from the living room sofa as it does when you’re prepping dinner. The result? A kitchen that looks like it is meant to be there—only better.
