Kitchen Design Services

I have been working with Karen at Kitchen Design Services. Not only is she a joy to have around, but she is very professional as well. I have been working on a bathroom design over the past few months, and Karen always responds to me almost immediately when I reach out to her with questions or comments. I would not hesitate to refer my friends to this company. I have had a great experience.

Very knowledgeable staff and the varieties of products are impressive. Highly recommend for kitchen remodeling in San Jose.

Kevin Roessler at KDS is an innovative designer whom I can highly recommend for any project. Kevin really took the time to understand how we use our kitchen and then created the design accordingly. Kevin asked us about how many people are cooking typically at the same time, what needed to be within my reach (I am much shorter than my husband), how much space we needed/wanted for various activities (baking, pasta-making, etc.), how much storage was required (lots and lots), how much socializing happened in the kitchen and many more details that never would have crossed my mind. I will always remember being asked "where do you want your spices" and now I love having them in a drawer right next to the cook top easily accessible no matter what I am cooking (I thought everyone kept their spices in a cabinet).

Not only was Kevin creative and insightful, but he was also conscientious about our budget helping us make informed choices about each selection and giving us the time to refine the design so that it perfectly met our needs. There are so many options now for cabinetry, finishes, gadgetry, etc., that without an informed designer's expertise it can be overwhelming, but Kevin made it relatively easy.

We were also very pleased with his participation during construction. Kevin stayed with the project through installation and our move-in to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. When hurdles were encountered in the construction (through no fault of KDS), he helped us devise solutions and worked well with the various trades to ensure we had the kitchen of our dreams and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We had been thinking about remodeling our kitchen (built in 1978) for quite some time. We knew "the look" we wanted but did not know how to achieve it.

We researched several firms before choosing KDS. We liked their business model and had great success working with Ariana, one of their designers.

During our initial meetings, Ariana listened carefully to our ideas and one week later returned with her initial design concepts, which were far more creative and space functional than we expected, all while still being true to our original ideas. Ariana helped us with many details, including cabinet features, resource recommendations for appliances and fixtures, and even suggestions for an adjacent space that improved it significantly. Throughout the project, we benefited from her creativity and practicality.

Ariana was very responsive to our needs, over the phone, via email and in person, depending on the situation. She is very pleasant and easy to work with.

We are very happy with our remodeled kitchen and glad that we chose KDS and Ariana.

When it was time to choose kitchen cabinets, Ariana was very helpful. She listened to what we needed and was able to envision the perfect layout. Her CAD drawings enabled us to visualize the space and make adjustments to accommodate our family’s needs and flow. She was flexible and was able to help us identify what we wanted when it wasn’t clear to us. She was very responsive to our questions and offered us suggestions and guidance throughout the whole process. She and KDS in general collaborated well with our designer, contractor and tile person. We love our kitchen and enjoy the space to gather, entertain and cook.
