Kitchen & Bath Design

Yes. While many of our kitchen and bath designs occur within larger engagements, we regularly accept focused commissions for clients who want our expertise applied to these specific rooms.

We visit stone yards and tile showrooms with you when possible — or curate a tightly edited selection of samples for in-home review. For natural stone, we often hand-select individual slabs to ensure veining and color meet our standards.

A kitchen renovation typically spans 3 to 6 months from design through completion; a bathroom renovation may take 2 to 4 months. These timelines include design development, material procurement, and construction — all of which we coordinate to keep the project moving efficiently.

Builder-grade kitchens use stock cabinetry, standard countertop options, and basic fixtures selected from a limited catalog. Our approach specifies custom inset cabinetry, hand-selected natural stone, trade-exclusive plumbing fixtures, and decorative lighting — producing a kitchen that functions better, lasts longer, and brings daily joy that standard kitchens simply cannot.

Yes. We specify and coordinate all kitchen appliances — from refrigeration and cooking to ventilation and specialty items like steam ovens and wine storage. We evaluate each appliance for performance, integration aesthetics, and long-term reliability, and we coordinate panel-ready installations with your cabinetry fabricator.

A luxury kitchen renovation in Charlotte typically ranges from $75,000–$250,000+ depending on size, material quality, and the extent of structural modifications. This includes custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops, premium appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and installation. Design fees are additional and reflect the complexity of coordinating these specialized trades.

A luxury primary bathroom renovation typically ranges from $40,000–$150,000+ depending on the scope of plumbing changes, material selections (natural stone, heated floors, steam systems), and custom elements like frameless glass enclosures or freestanding soaking tubs. Design fees ensure every detail is resolved before demolition begins.

We most frequently specify quartzite and natural marble for luxury kitchens. Quartzite offers extraordinary beauty with superior hardness and heat resistance. Marble delivers unmatched visual depth but requires acceptance of natural patina over time. We guide every client through the performance-vs-aesthetic tradeoff based on how they actually use their kitchen.

If your kitchen's footprint, plumbing locations, and structural walls work with your vision, renovation is usually more cost-effective. If you need to relocate the kitchen, expand significantly, or the home's systems are outdated, new construction may offer better long-term value. We evaluate both options during our initial consultation and provide honest guidance.
