Working With A Design Consultant
A design consultant can pull all the pieces to your kitchen puzzle together and will keep you from getting bogged down in details, which can throw your planning off track. You’ll be free to dream, while the design consultant thinks through all the measurements, material coordination, and construction logistics.
As each living space is unique so is each homeowner. This is why it is important for our experienced design consultants to fully understand your project goals. Whether your main objective is to update your space for resale or to create a new functional space for personal use, our design consultants are able to assist you with the various design alternatives. Our main objective at The Jae Company is to provide you with the tools necessary to meet your needs. Design consultants will direct you to the product mix that will allow you to capitalize on your investment.
Many homeowners today want an eye-catching focal point incorporated into their new space and this is where a design consultant is helpful. They can take current trends and integrate them into your space. One current trend is eliminating the soffits in kitchens and taking the cabinetry to the ceiling. This not only gives the appearance of a much larger space, it also increases the storage. There are times when this element may not work, for instance if there is excessive plumbing and electrical work hidden in the soffits. Often we are able to accent the cabinetry with a dramatic crown detail while keeping minimal plumbing and electrical work hidden. Our experience has taught us that there are exceptions to every rule.
In other words, a good design consultant will help you do it right the first time, see possibilities where you could not, and make the entire experience go smoothly.
