Kitchen Design Consulting


 

What makes my services unique?

Experienced Design Consulting 
without large up-front retainer fees.

I provide consulting services tailored to your kitchen design project. Unlike many design firms, I don’t require a large upfront retainer or push product sales. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked through the design process with a wide range of clients and offer straightforward, honest guidance along the way. Services include simple concept renderings to help explore ideas, detailed plans you can use to shop independently and receive faster, more accurate quotes, and referrals to trusted contractors and vendors.

Modern Kitchen Interior

Karen Pied, CKBD 
 

With years of experience as a kitchen designer, I understand that home renovations can feel overwhelming and uncertain. My role is to guide you through the process with clarity and no pressure, starting with a simple conversation about your goals. An initial in-home consultation allows me to understand your space, followed by a tailored design presentation refined through remote check-ins scheduled at convenient times for busy families. This flexible, collaborative approach ensures you feel confident and well-prepared when moving forward with showroom visits and selecting a supplier or contractor.

A Simple Process

Designing the heART of your Home
with
Sustainability in mind.

I am committed to using sustainable practices whenever possible. As an NKBA-certified designer with a sustainability badge, I thoughtfully recommend water- and energy-saving products in every design. My knowledge of biophilic design, LEED principles, and energy-efficient practices is a valuable asset to my consulting services. Incorporating sustainable solutions benefits not only the environment, but also the people who live and work in the space.
