Design Consultations

Focused, Strategic Design Guidance

(Limited Availability)

Our design consultations offer hourly, targeted guidance for homeowners or contractors who need professional clarity—without engaging full-service design. Sessions may be held in person or virtually and are tailored to specific questions or challenges.

Consultations are ideal for early planning, second opinions, cabinetry strategy, layout feedback, or review of finishes and fixtures. While this service does not include procurement or ongoing revisions, it provides meaningful direction rooted in our experience with kitchen design and remodeling.

Early planning
Layout problem-solving
Cabinetry consultation

Common Questions

Answers to what clients often ask

  • Yes. Erica Kay Design + Remodeling specializes in full-service kitchen design and whole-home design + remodeling for homeowners across the Kansas City metro.

    Kitchens are a core focus of our practice, and many of our projects center on custom cabinetry, space planning, and coordinated finish selections.

  • Our services are best suited for full kitchen remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, and new home construction where thoughtful planning and coordinated design support are needed.

    We work best with clients who value a clear process, realistic planning, and collaborative decision-making.

  • The earlier, the better. Involving a designer during early planning allows scope, budget, layout, and construction considerations to be aligned before decisions are finalized.

    This often leads to clearer direction, fewer revisions, and a smoother remodeling process overall.

  • Yes. We work with clients on new home construction when our design style and process are a good fit, collaborating with custom home builders and construction teams to help clients thoughtfully customize their homes from the beginning.

    We are comfortable working within predetermined builder allowances and specifications and coordinating closely with builders and contractors to elevate interior details, cabinetry design, and finish selections while respecting the overall construction process.

  • We collaborate closely with trusted contractor and builder partners and can also work alongside outside teams when appropriate—including when a contractor is already part of the project.

    The most important factor is alignment with our process, communication standards, and level of detail so the design intent is carried through clearly during construction. When cabinetry or key scopes are managed outside of Erica Kay Design, our level of involvement may be more limited.

  • Yes. We have established relationships with architects and engineers we trust for projects involving additions, structural modifications, or significant layout changes.

    We approach these collaborations as a complementary process—architects and engineers lead the structural and technical design, while Erica Kay Design focuses on interior layout, cabinetry, finishes, and design detailing.

  • Yes. In addition to kitchen design, we provide whole-home design + remodeling and multi-room renovation support.

    We also offer targeted design guidance for spaces such as bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, fireplaces, and supporting living areas.

  • Yes. We offer hourly design consultations for homeowners and contractors who need focused guidance on layout, cabinetry, finishes, or specific design decisions.

    Consultations can be scheduled in person or virtually, depending on the scope and location.

  • Design timelines vary by scope, but most kitchen and whole-home projects move through design and selections over several weeks.

    This allows for thoughtful planning, alignment with contractor input, and well-documented decisions before construction begins.

  • Yes. We work with homeowners throughout the greater Kansas City area, including Fairway, Prairie Village, Mission Hills, Westwood, Brookside, Overland Park, and surrounding neighborhoods.

    For larger or especially exciting projects, we’re also open to working beyond the Kansas City metro when the scope and fit are aligned.
