Before You Start

AES Group, a kitchen and bathroom, cabinetry, design and sales firm, provides each client with a design that combines vision and performance, while satisfying their personal sense of style.

Getting Started
When creating a kitchen, you first must decide:
• What styles appeal to you?
• What items you must have?
• How much you want to spend?
• When do you want it to be done?
• What size and shape you prefer?
• What is on my wish list?
• Is my sink large enough?
• Do I need more storage space?
• Do I have enough shelf space?
• Do my cabinet doors open easily?
• Where can I incorporate current elements in the new 
  kitchen?

Every kitchen has the same basic design elements:
• Cabinets 
• Appliances 
• Countertops 
• Flooring 
• Sinks & Faucets 
• Walls, Ceilings, Windows, Moldings & Other Architectural 
  Details 
 
A designer can give your kitchen a unique look—and the best use of space—by helping you find the right   mix of styles, materials, and colors.

Starting points include:
• The architectural style of your home—by making your
  home’s interior reflect its exterior; you bring continuity to
  the whole structure. 
• Your needs—perhaps you want space to cook big family
  meals, you’re an at-home gourmet, or you have special
  accessibility concerns.

Your cabinet’s door style and color will have the most impact on your new kitchen’s palette by making the strongest visual statement.

Appliances also deserve top billing. Which ones you select and where you put them will determine how cook-friendly your layout will be.
