DIY or Custom

DIY or Custom?

Have you noticed Ikea kitchens popping up every where? Are you wondering if it really is budget friendly? Have you ever had a custom kitchen quoted? You may be surprised at the choices that Ikea has to offer but if you have an odd layout Ikea may not be your best option. Ikea’s product is based off a flat pack unit which reduces shipping costs but of course it also means that you are the one to put everything together. Have you ever tried to design an Ikea kitchen but only to bang your head against the wall? As a kitchen Designer I have dealt with every product imaginable and as frustrating as it can be it is a great product that has a 25 year warranty.

Where custom comes in if you are looking for a very specific design, or a custom finish or material. Most people shy away from custom but it can be a positive experience and will give you exactly what you want. The best avenue to get exactly what you want though, is through an experienced designer.

An experienced designer is up to date on the latest products and solely focuses on the construction of your kitchen. Experienced designers know what the best value for your money is. An experienced and honest designer will steer you away from spending unwanted dollars. This is why a freelance designer is your best option.

The importance of preplanning is imperative to help you control your budget and give time for planning and projected time lines.

Wondering when the best time to buy is? Need help eliminating all the “choices”? This is what freelance do for you.

So whether DIY or Custom give us a call and see how our kitchen a la cart service can best suit your needs!
