Kitchen Design in Kansas City

Serving Leawood, Overland Park, Prairie Village, Fairway, and select Kansas City communities.
A Kitchen Designed Around Your Life
We begin with what works, what frustrates you, and how you want to use your kitchen. From preparing meals to gathering with family and friends, your routines help shape the layout, storage, and connections to adjoining rooms.
Erica works with you to weigh options and develop a design that balances daily function with the character of your home. Cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and finishes come together around those decisions.
What Full-Service Kitchen Design Includes
Layout Planning
We develop floor plans that consider storage, appliance placement, circulation, and how the kitchen connects to surrounding rooms.
Materials & Finishes
We guide selections for countertops, tile, lighting, fixtures, and hardware, considering how they work together within the design and budget.
Custom Cabinetry
We design cabinetry layouts and elevations, balancing storage needs with proportions, door styles, and details that suit your home.
Procurement & Design Support
We manage procurement for items included in our scope and coordinate timing with the project team. During construction, we answer design questions and review details to help carry the design through.

Planning Your Kitchen Investment
Our full-service kitchen renovations start at an overall project investment of $100,000. This includes the renovation as a whole, rather than the design fee alone.
Your investment depends on the scope of work, layout changes, cabinetry, materials, and construction requirements. We discuss your goals and budget early, then help you weigh options and direct the investment toward what matters most to you.
-
We learn how you live, then develop layouts and design concepts that address your priorities and improve how your home functions.
-
We refine cabinetry, materials, and finishes, track selections against allowances, and coordinate procurement with the construction schedule.
-
We serve as your design advocate, answering questions and reviewing details to help carry the design through construction. You hire and manage your contractor directly; we collaborate closely with them.
-
We assist with design-related walkthroughs and punch list review as the work comes together.
A Clear Process, From Planning Through Construction
Every successful project begins with a clear plan and thoughtful collaboration. Our four-stage design and remodeling process in Kansas City guides you from early planning through construction with clarity and confidence.
Thoughtful design, clear communication, and alignment before construction help you make informed decisions, plan around a realistic budget, and create a home that feels cohesive and personal.
