In the Kitchen
The kitchen has always been the “center of the home.” It’s where life happens. Today’s modern kitchen design emphasizes personality, convenience, and durability.

4 Practical Tips for Planning Your Remodel
A successful kitchen or bathroom remodel begins in the planning phase – long before a single tile or fixture is placed. Here are a few expert tips to guide you through the process:
#1. Set your priorities.
Before choosing fixtures or finishes, identify what matters most to you. Are you prioritizing a high-functioning kitchen with efficient workflow, ample storage, and durable surfaces, or dreaming of a spa-like bathroom with a rain shower, illuminated mirrors, and relaxing finishes? Clarifying your functional needs and design desires will help you narrow options, select materials that last, and create a space that’s both beautiful and practical — without feeling overwhelmed.
#2. Budget realistically.
Remodeling projects can range from minor updates to full-scale transformations. Sit down with your contractor to create a budget that balances both your wish list and your reality, factoring in materials, finishes, labor, and any appliances or fixtures you want to include. Don’t forget to set aside a contingency fund for unexpected repairs or hidden issues, and consider long-term investments like durable vanities, quality countertops, or modern sinks that enhance daily life and add lasting value to your home. Thoughtful planning now ensures a remodel that’s both beautiful and functional — without financial surprises.
#3. Think long-term.
It’s easy to be swayed by trendy finishes, but balance is key. A quality kitchen faucet or modern bathroom fixture in durable materials can elevate your space without feeling dated. Look for pieces that combine style and longevity, so your remodel feels fresh today and timeless tomorrow.
#4. Visit a showroom before buying.
Photos online can’t convey the weight of a marble vessel sink, the spray of a showerhead, or the feel of a statement kitchen faucet. That’s why our St. Louis kitchen and bath showroom is such a valuable resource. Here, you can compare finishes, test functionality, and receive personalized guidance from experts who understand both design and installation.
