Financing options for your home renovation.

With DIY resources available online, you may be tempted to approach your kitchen renovation all on your own. While it is certainly possible, it is not advised. Hiring a kitchen designer will help you avoid many common stumbling blocks. Here are 5 reasons why a kitchen designer will benefit you in the long run. 1 - Save Time An expert kitchen designer can help you during each stage of the renovation process. Each step requires numerous decisions. Any misstep or miscalculation can cost you time (and money!). There are countless hidden details and steps during a renovation that you may not be fully aware of at the outset of your project. Working with an informed professional reduces the amount of time you’ll spend doing research and evaluating all suppliers and vendors along the way. You will avoid common pitfalls that delay or disrupt a project. 2 - Invest Wisely A kitchen renovation is not inexpensive. But the good news is a kitchen renovation can be achieved at all budget levels! Experienced kitchen designers offer cost-saving recommendations and solutions for your project that you may not have considered. They also have built-in relationships with suppliers and other vendors and may be able to get you access to exclusive discounts. Most importantly, they will help you better understand all costs upfront, so you can plan ahead to prioritize where you want to spend your hard-earned dollars. 3 - Obtain Professional Expertise The “devil is in the details” and this saying cannot be more true for kitchen design. A reputable designer will have a keen eye for detail both big and small. This detail-oriented approach will offer you assurance that each decision you make will come together flawlessly. 4 - Customized Design Every kitchen is as unique as its owner. A quality kitchen designer will take the time to get to know their client’s preferences, style, goals and vision for the space. An inquisitive designer will uncover items that you may have missed. This discovery process will enable the designer to design the kitchen based on your wishes. This guarantees that you’ll love every square inch when the project is done. 5 - Reliability & Peace of Mind If you decide to do the project on your own, you are responsible for everything. If you put your trust in a kitchen designer, they will become a key stakeholder in your project and will take accountability and responsibility for many aspects of your job. They have their reputation and relationships in the line. So when they have skin in the game, they are betting on a winning project. Lean on others who have the relationships, skill and experience to guide you along the way. Ready to let us help you? Schedule a consultation with our experienced designers.

Interior design is exactly as it sounds. The designing of the inside of a home. It might sound like an easy task, but a lot goes into figuring out what to do for the interior design of any home. Figure out a style to go with - Interior design includes picking the colors, lighting, and materials to make a space highly functional and beautiful. When you hire someone to help with interior design, use them to bounce ideas off and figure out the ideal design for your space, and trust their expertise in coming up with a well thought out plan. Decide what you don’t like - Eliminating the colors and decor that you would never go with will help you get closer to figuring out what you do like. Interior design is like putting a puzzle together, once you figure out one thing like a sofa for your living room or the color you want to paint your kitchen, the rest of the decor will fall into place. Try out paints - Once you decide you are painting your home or business, test out some color samples. This is a very important step of interior design that can often be overlooked because people assume the color they pick, is what it will look like on walls. However, many times the color varies considerably. Contact Front Row Kitchens if you are interested in hiring someone to help with your interior design project.

Every parent knows how hectic it can be having kids, especially multiple. The bathroom seems to always be the place where most of the chaos happens. Sharing a sink to brush teeth, not being able to reach the sink, or towels and soaps laying out everywhere. We decided to take some of these problems into our own hands and find some solutions that will make yours and your children’s life a little bit easier. A kid-friendly bathroom is a happy bathroom, and we are here to make that happen. Some solutions to your everyday problems are listed below: Double Vanities- Getting ready in the morning with multiple people including kids in the morning can be crazy, but investing in double vanities will ensure that you don’t have to run late, and everyone will have their hair and teeth brushed and ready to go in no time. No more fighting over who goes first when two can go at the same time! Step Stools/Pull Out Steps- The struggle is real when your kids are independent enough to get ready on their own but can’t reach the sink or mirror to get ready. Stools no longer have to be cheap plastic that ruins the look of your bathroom, wooden stools can actually be the perfect touch to your bathroom. If you don’t want one in your way, pull-out steps are another great option. Just pull out your bottom drawer and place the lid that supports up to 90 pounds on top. When there is no longer a need for a step, remove the lid and get your storage space back! Open Shelving- Some cabinets need to be locked up to keep chemicals and your expensive shampoos away from sticky fingers, but simple items like towels can be placed on shelves on your vanity so you don’t have to schedule a search party every time your kids need a towel. Extra Built-Ins- Many modern tubs and showers have built-ins for soaps and shampoos but they are normally designed for adults height. Adding a lower cubby for your kids can make shower time a little easier for both of you. Fanciful Lighting- If you only have one bathroom in your home you probably don’t want it to scream “kid’s bathroom.” Fun lighting fixtures are a great way to add some fun without going overboard on kid’s things.
