These Watchung, New Jersey homeowners have a big kitchen with a connected dining area, but they couldn’t help but feel as if much of it was outdated. Thus, the Somerset County, New Jersey homeowners hired the Design Build Planners to create their remodeling designs for their kitchen.

The homeowners style preferences were for a modern look and finishes. They drew their inspiration from kitchen projects featured on Houzz.com. The design options are a result of homeowners online research combined with an in-home consultation with Design Build Planners. There is also a proprietary profile checklist that homeowners fill out that depicts their lifestyle and kitchen use. After compiling this information, Design Build Planners incorporates their construction knowledge and design creativity for the space with a focus on the budget and overall investment.
To get a better feel for the homeowner’s taste, below are three pictures they placed in their Houzz Ideabook.
