They make it look so easy on television, but we understand that designing a kitchen can be overwhelming.
Our knowledgeable designers will help you narrow down the choices to create a kitchen that matches your dreams, your style, and your budget. Read below about the process of working with Von Tobel kitchen designers.
1. Set A Budget
Come up with a general idea of what you're comfortable spending on your new kitchen. A ballpark figure is ok. You can adjust it as you go.
2. Prep Work
Make a list of your must-have features vs. your wish list items.
Use Pinterest, Houzz, magazines and websites to collect ideas.
Take rough measurements and create a rough sketch of your existing kitchen. Learn how to measure your kitchen here.
Select your appliances and make a list of their model numbers.
