Before you Begin

6 Simple Steps to the Kitchen of Your Dreams

1. Form follows function - working with the space you have
While you may not be able to increase the amount of space you have to work with, you can make the best use of it with innovative storage and efficient workspaces.

Ask yourself these lifestyle questions:

  • What is the main function of your space?
  • Is this room the "hub" of your home? If so, comfort will be a big consideration.
  • Is it a high-traffic area?
  • Do you have small children or a growing family? If so, your design should include safety features like rounded corners, minimized overhangs, etc.
  • Do you like to entertain? If so, you might want to incorporate open-concept workstations and serving areas.

2. Your appliances and furniture - style and space considerations
Consider the appliances and furniture you have now, as well as any you may purchase for your re-designed space.

3. Accommodating special needs - accessibility and functionality
We can incorporate any special needs requirements into your design. Considerations include counter height, storage accessibility, workspace functionality and overall maneuverability.

4. Incorporating personal style - your unique kitchen
Integrating your own style into the design is our favourite part. It's what makes your kitchen one-of-a-kind, while blending with the aesthetics of your home. Whether you like modern, contemporary, traditional or eclectic, Chervin's award-winning designs are all about the customers who dreamed them. We're great listeners and we'll keep sketching until we get it right.

6. Consultation - before, during and after
At Chervin, we want you to have the kitchen of your dreams. To do that, we need to consult with you throughout the process. You're involved every step of the way - from the initial concept, to the design and finishing touches.
