Although customers are not required to make an appointment before attending our showrooms, we always encourage them to do so to avoid waiting if they are occupied. The initial visit can take 30 – 40 minutes as our designers will run you through styles, layouts, materials and processes. Our designers will better understand the job scope, timing and budget, so we can provide a plan that suits your situation.

KIND Provides a complimentary site visit, preliminary design and consultation for our customers. However, depending on the job’s nature and scale, your showroom designers may provide other means to get your quotation and estimation faster and more efficiently.

For joinery design services, selecting and sourcing cabinetry and benchtop materials are a part of the standard process. Our designers are usually happy to help by advising on flooring and splashback tiles.
However, suppose you require more, such as defining the overall tone and style, selecting appliances, lighting, surface finishings, flooring and even soft furnishing. In that case, our comprehensive interior design service might be the way to go.
Aesthetic
Avoid too many colours and textures – Too much of anything can be overwhelming, and you risk making your kitchen look like a mishmash. Stick to a maximum of three mixtures of colours and textures.
Do not blindly follow trends – You’ve already come across the design industry buzzwords: minimalist, modern, squared, slim, and sleek. While these latest trends can be tempting, they will not last forever. And when the hype dies down, you’ll be compelled to follow another trend.
Functionality
Consider the layout – Don’t start designing with the form first before the functionality. It will disrupt your workflow as you need to adjust it depending on your desired layout (e.g., Galley, Island, L-shape, etc.)
Do not stuff your appliances – The old-age “kitchen triangle” is still the gold standard for kitchen design. After all, it’s very convenient that your fridge, stove, and sink are all within easy reach of each other yet placed at a proper distance for some storage space.
Storage
Have a mixture of different types of cabinetry – By having various storage options depending on your requirements and preferences. You can easily find a place for everything in your kitchen.
Do not fall into the trap of “organiser hardware” – unless you have a lot of space for storage. Too much organising hardware may limit your storage since the primary purpose of this hardware is for better access, not storage.
Kitchen renovation is a big project, and it’s essential to understand its scope before you begin. The cost of a kitchen renovation can differ widely, depending on the size and scale of the project. No matter the type of kitchen renovation job you’re planning, it’s crucial to understand the costs involved clearly. Our showroom designers will try to provide as much information as possible during your initial showroom visit and obtain a rough scope of work from you. This would aid our designers in producing a renovation plan that is suitable for your budget.
