Once the design service has been agreed to by both parties, a designer will take the lead and manage the process from beginning to end. A site consultation with the client is arranged and multiple aspects of the kitchen are discussed. The space is measured and photographed extensively. With all the gathered information, a design brief is formed and the designer can begin work on the kitchen design. Working from the design brief, ideas are explored until an optimal design is identified and expanded upon. The kitchen design is documented, and clients are called in for a face-to-face presentation at the Dan Kitchens showroom.
