-Reorganizing the way you think about Kitchen Design

Course Summary

  • This CEU is tailored for seasoned design professionals familiar with the design process. While we'll offer insights and refreshing reminders on fundamental design principles, our primary focus will be on the critical third and fifth steps: function and lighting. We'll explore how reevaluating your approach to these aspects can enhance your designs and clients' experiences.
  • Traditionally, function dictates the number of cabinets required. Yet, in this CEU, we encourage you to reconsider this approach. Instead, we'll emphasize determining the specific types of cabinets needed and how to optimize them for storage accessories and lighting integration. We'll delve into the nuances of specifying and ordering lighting to ensure a seamless and illuminating design journey.
  • In the realm of design, clients often arrive armed with preconceived notions about their desired aesthetic, thanks to platforms like Houzz, Pinterest, and online cabinet vendors. While this can provide a helpful starting point, it also presents challenges. In this CEU will provide insight on the importance of adding functionality while meeting their aesthetics and importance of budgeting.
