When something prompts you to remodel a kitchen or bath, it’s not just about how these rooms look and function, but also how they should feel. Somehow, these rooms should feel like a reflection of you and the direction your life is taking.
A Big Box store can help you with the look, but it can’t help you with the feel.
That’s when you need the expertise of a talented, intuitive designer to guide you.
“When you make a change in your home, you’re also making a change in your life,” says Karin Ross of Karin Ross Designs.
A Family Tradition
Her design business is based on the family-oriented, European model from her native Belgium. This model builds on relationships. Ross creates the design. Nick Ross, Karin’s husband, does the installation work with his team of dedicated craftsmen.
Clients also become like family.
“We are different,” says Ross. “We get to know you over the six to seven months it takes to design and install a kitchen, a little less for a bath. We listen. We adjust. We go beyond.”
“When I first meet you and you tell me what you want to do with your kitchen or bath, I hear you. But I always come to your house to look at the space. I need to hear what your house says, too,” says Ross.
Why? “Because I can see elements of you in your house,” she explains. “And that lets me understand better what the space needs and what you need for where you are in your life,” she says.
More than a new floor plan, more than a double oven or a huge kitchen island, what you might need goes beyond countertops and flooring. It might be warmth, a touch of elegance, or a brave new aesthetic for launching into empty-nester life.
The Confidence to Begin Again
One client of Karin Ross Designs, recently divorced, needed renewed self-assurance. “She gave up her job when she had a child,” Ross relates. “When her husband left, she had to start over. We helped her not only with the physical space, but also with her emotional state. We managed to create a beautiful bathroom and kitchen for her as she was getting her life back together. She went back to work after being out of the job market for a while. We spoke often, and she knew we supported her. As work kept progressing on her house, she started having success in her new job, too. We helped give her the confidence to go and get the big account.”
Getting to Know You
An extensive questionnaire for clients and an onsite visit initiate the process. “We get to know our clients and their home first, then present them with several design options and solutions,” says Ross, “after I have done all the research.”
Along the way, there could be changes due to life circumstances. A divorce. A death. A cancer diagnosis. Or a happy occasion like the birth of a child. “Even though I cannot help with a personal situation, we are there for you,” says Ross. “Our clients know we try our best to accommodate.”
“I am designing for the soul. A timeless and elegant kitchen or bath can help you go forward in life and for years to come.”
Peace of Mind
“We provide a remodeling experience like no other,” Ross says. “We try everything we install before we put it in a client’s home,” says Ross. “We try it in our home or in our showroom. That way, there are no surprises.” There are no surprises, either, during the installation. Karin Ross Designs keeps products in stock, so no waiting.
Ross’s team does everything they can to keep the project running on time, on plan, and on budget so that the kitchen or bath you’ve dreamed about turns out even better than you expected.
That’s one reason why Karin Ross Designs won the 2023 Guildmaster Award for Top Customer Service among leaders in residential construction.
“I am designing for the soul,” says Ross. “A timeless and elegant kitchen or bath can help you go forward in life and for years to come.”
