Our Kitchen Design Process

Watch Our President, Paul McAlary, Explain the Kitchen Design Process

At Main Line Kitchen Design, we care more about giving you the best design we can create than selling you the most expensive products you might select. The final decision is always yours, but we haven’t done our job if we haven’t shown you ways to spend your money more effectively.

The Design of Your Kitchen Doesn't Affect Your Budget

The most surprising thing Main Line Kitchen Design customers discover is that the design itself rarely has a significant effect on the overall cost. Across various design options, the kitchen itself is usually the same size, with a similar amount of cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. It’s the door style, type of cabinet, finish, and the other material selections you make that effect how much a kitchen costs. This is why it is so important to get the best design for your kitchen. 

At Main Line Kitchen Design, it doesn’t cost anything extra for your kitchen to be designed creatively and to function well. We don’t charge for design time. It’s included in the price of the cabinetry.

The Main Line Kitchen Design Process Step-by-Step

Step 1: Request a Free Consultation

Complete this form to request your free consultation with one of our expert kitchen designers. First, we will cover any questions you have over the phone. We can usually give you a close estimate of what you will spend on your kitchen by asking you a few important questions.

Step 2: Schedule Your In-Home Measurement

Step 2: Schedule Your
In-Home Measurement

Once your initial consultation is complete, you can schedule an in-home measurement with a $150 deposit. This deposit will go towards the cost of your cabinets when purchased through Main Line Kitchen Design. Our expert designer will measure your kitchen, transfer the measurements to their computer, and create your preliminary kitchen design.

Step 3: Perfect Your Kitchen Design

Several additional appointments are included in your deposit. During a second and possibly a third appointment, the designer will perfect the detailed 3D designs. You are welcome to visit our showroom in Bala Cynwyd to view the eight brands of cabinets we carry and our nearly infinite selection of door styles, countertops, and hardware.

Unless you require printouts of our work, everything to this point is included in your initial $150 deposit.

Once your kitchen design is finalized (or at any point before then), you may request the floor plans, elevations, construction notes, and 3D renderings of your design for a deposit of 10% toward the cost of the cabinets you select. All deposits are applied towards your cabinetry when you purchase them from Main Line Kitchen Design.
