A kitchen designer is an individual that works closely with clients to plan the room layout formality and functionality-the traditional kitchen design desired by most. The designer can deal with a renovation project or might work with an architect when the home is under construction. The same individuals often oversee the installation of the various elements that go into a functional and fashionable kitchen; depending on the client they may also be involved in planning and executing the decorating scheme. In many cases a cabinet manufacturer will employ the designer who also may be involved in product sales.
The technical side of the kitchen design profession includes the ability to use CAD drawing systems, the better designers are also intimately aware of the principals of interior design. As a comprehensive kitchen renovation can include plumbing and electrical work it is also important to be aware of local building codes that could have an impact on the outcome.
Equally as important as having the technical skills is the ability to work closely with clients as they work towards introducing formality and functionality into their kitchens. Designers who work with residential clients are deeply involved with the complete gamut of traditional kitchen design; cabinetry, appliances, countertops, flooring as well as colours that compliment the total home. The lifestyle of the client and the budget play a big role in what can be done. Often the homeowner will have his or her initial consultation in the kitchen showroom or perhaps the designer will visit the client in the home. Once the designer sees the space he or she is in a better position to put forward various concepts regarding the position of cabinets and major appliances such as the stove and refrigerator. Depending on the outcome of the initial meeting the designer may put together concept sketches for a few different designs or focus on a design concept that the client favoured.
Kitchen designers are very aware formality and functionality are the basis of traditional kitchen design. These skilled individuals work closely with clients helping them with everything from choosing a new kitchen counter top through the design and implementation of a sparkling new kitchen. The better kitchen companies employ designers who not only work with kitchen clients but those that are focused on other aspects of daily living such as an enhanced laundry area, often adjacent to the kitchen and seen through the eyes of the designer as one comprehensive package.
