Kitchen Design Services
We are professional kitchen designers
Besides addressing the whole layout and design challenge of your kitchen, we also select and specify a combination of beautiful and harmonious materials. Stylish kitchens are a hallmark of our kitchen design services. A beautiful kitchen comes from far more than just the cabinetry you choose. There are many more considerations – what backsplash tile to use, countertops, paint colors, lighting, and electrical plans, planning the perfect place for a piece of artwork, cabinet hardware, trims, large kitchen appliance choices, and more. Style and beauty come from how all the elements visually complement one another.
You can be confident in the NKBA Certified Kitchen Design Services of McManus Group.

A new kitchen well suited to you
Even though your kitchen will be new with updated materials, appliances, and layout, it needs to reflect the character of your surroundings. A key to giving your kitchen that ‘settled in’ feeling is to respect the architectural integrity and tone set by your home. Your finished kitchen will be inviting to your family and friends, customized to your use and practical requirements.
Custom storage solutions can make it easy for you to find and access anything you need when and where you need it. Your mixing bowls, small appliances, cooking utensils, carving knives, spices, and oils may naturally belong near your cooking area – not across the room. Cups, glasses, and dishware may be handy near your dishwasher, countertop, or dining area, depending on your space and how you use it.
