How do you find the showroom and designer that is the perfect fit for your new dream kitchen? Obtain references from friends, neighbors and family who have recently renovated kitchens or other rooms in their home or ask for references from showrooms and designers you are considering who have recently renovated a kitchen similar to your kitchen and with the same scope as your desired renovation. More importantly, consider the approach the designer and showroom take during your initial conversations. In order to build the kitchen of your dreams, a good designer needs to know about your lifestyle, your style, who will use the kitchen, how often it will be used, what currently works in your kitchen and what you would like to improve. Your kitchen should be all about you and your family.
