[Get Started] Revamp Your Kitchen & Bath Design With A Professional Consultation

by

Begin Your Kitchen & Bath Design Without the Overwhelm and Stress

I know that after searching through hundreds of gorgeous online photos of kitchens and bathrooms you still have one question:  “How in the world do I even begin to the process of remodeling MY kitchen and bathroom?”  I receive many inquiries from homeowners who have made the decision to redesign their worn-out kitchens and bathrooms.  These spaces are in dire need of a makeover, as they are outdated, lack a cohesive aesthetic, and are no longer functional or safe. They are eager to enhance and revamp their living spaces, yet are uncertain about the best course of action, how to clarify their design vision, and determine the financial implications.

My design consultations have successfully started many clients on the right path to confidently proceed with their remodels. I streamline the design process, freeing you from the burdensome, time-consuming, and overwhelming online searches.

“So, Sheryl, how do I even begin the design planning process?”

Here at Sheryl Steinberg Interior Design, I begin the design process with my exclusive Design Starter Consultation [LEARN MORE HERE]. No matter where you are across the country, my Consultation is available to you Remotely (Anywhere you live) or In-Person (in Bethesda, MD).  

During our consultation, we will engage in a productive 90-minute session where I guide you to define your vision, establish a general design investment, and provide you with the necessary steps to move forward with your home remodel. My personalized approach will help you navigate the process of redesigning your kitchen and bathroom, ensuring a seamless and streamlined experience. This inspiring and energizing Design Starter Consultation is an invaluable opportunity to begin your design journey, ignite creativity, formulate your vision, optimize your time, and rediscover the confidence and joy of your home once again.

“Sheryl looked at my entire house and listened to my wants and needs (remote via Zoom).  Her eye for color and style helped me get out of analysis-paralysis, pick a direction I knew I’d be happy with, and confidently move forward with my home remodeling project.” – Alex S., Detroit, MI

“Working virtually with Sheryl was so easy and she was able to take my vague ideas and transform them into an incredible room design. Can’t wait to start my next project with her!” – Nancy B., Morristown, NJ

“From start to finish, Sheryl has been extremely helpful, supportive, upbeat, creative, fun, and a pure pleasure to work with throughout my kitchen project. She really listens to you and knows how to incorporate your ideas and visions into the most spectacular finished product!”  – Timna Z., Washington, DC

Below are my 5 key considerations to keep in mind when planning your kitchen and bathroom redesign:

5 Planning Tips For Your Redesign:     

Interior Designer:

  • Start Planning with a Professional Interior Designer– As a professional accredited interior designer, I will work with you to discuss your design vision and needs, develop a budget, create a design schedule, and provide a detailed scope of work within your budget and design vision.  Contractors cannot provide you an accurate quote or schedule without a design, product specifications, or scope of work.

Kitchens:

  • Prepare a Temporary Kitchen Space During Construction – Designate an alternate kitchen space and sink to use during a kitchen remodel to ensure the transition period is smooth and you have a functioning and suitable space to prepare and store food during the kitchen remodel.

Floors:

  • Include Flooring – Specify flooring in the project scope up front and include the cost in your design budget – there are many choices at various price points and installation needs.

Lights and Electric:

  • Specify Lighting and Electric in the Project Scope – Budgeting and planning for lighting and electrical needs are necessary to include for accurate costs, installation requirements and labor involved.  A designer creates a lighting and electrical plan, along with detailed specifications during the design phase.

Permits:

  • Include Permitting and Additional Professionals – The potential need for permits, a licensed architect, or structural engineer may be necessary to include in the budget, as well as in the scope and schedule of work.

Choosing The Right Paint Colors For Your Home’s Refresh

Choosing The Right Paint Colors For Your Home’s Refresh

Whether you want your home to be calm and serene, or energetic and vibrant – the paint colors you choose makes a huge impact.  Changing your paint colors can completely transform your home’s style and create an exciting, joyful space to live, work, and entertain.

Selecting the right color scheme and appropriate type of paint can be overwhelming and time consuming with endless options. Designers are trained and experienced with the nuances of color, undertones, paint types, and paint finishes.

Here at Sheryl Steinberg Interior Design – I have the professional expertise and experience to provide you a complete paint color palette to create the ambiance and continuity you envision throughout your home.

Not sure how to begin? Try our Design Starter Consultation in person (in Bethesda, MD) or remote (anywhere you live).  Our consultation is a 90-minute working meeting that offers guidance to define your paint selection goals – and leads you to feel more inspired in your home.

Below are some ideas for you:

Paint Color Guide For Your Home

Here are my Paint Color Tips:     

Set The Atmosphere:

  • Create an ambiance with color – Cool colors like grays, blues, and greens are soothing for relaxation.  For example, in a bedroom or bathroom.  Warm colors like yellows, beiges, and oranges are more energetic.  For example, in an entertainment area or athletic space.

Focal Wall:

  • Design an accent wall – A bold pop of an accent color on one wall will create a vibrant focal point in a room.  Consider the fireplace wall, a nook, or a bed wall.

Consider Furnishings:

  • Try colors already in the room – There are several routes you can take.  If your furnishings are light, try a darker color on the walls and vice versa.  Pick up a less prominent color, for example, from a patterned fabric or rug.  Try matching an accessory or a color from artwork in the space that inspires you.

Low VOC Paints:

  • Look at paint formulations – Consider paints that have low or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for a healthier indoor air environment.  These paints have less odor and off gassing.
