How we work

STEP 1

Discovery & Consultation

We begin by getting to know you—your lifestyle, needs, and the vision you have for your space. Whether it’s a full renovation or a focused refresh, we’ll explore your goals and how we can bring them to life.

STEP 2

Design Development

We present layout options, mood boards, and material palettes curated just for you. Through collaboration, we refine the design until it aligns perfectly with your aesthetic and functional needs.

STEP 3

Technical Drawings & Specs

Once the vision is clear, we dive into the details. We prepare comprehensive technical drawings, elevations, and product specifications to ensure your project is ready to be built.

STEP 4

Coordination & Procurement

We handle the behind-the-scenes work—coordinating with contractors, trades, and suppliers. From ordering fixtures and finishes to managing timelines, we keep things on track and organized.

STEP 5

Installation & Follow-Through

Throughout the construction phase, we oversee the implementation of your design. We’re there to answer questions, resolve issues, and make sure everything comes together seamlessly.

Client Success Stories

  • “Intelligent Kitchen worked with us on a complete apartment galley kitchen renovation and some modifications to our bathroom. They were outstanding to work with from start to finish. We appreciated their professionalism, ideas, regular and thorough communications, and how they owned managing the project with the contractor. The results are super functional, attractive and high quality with nothing left undone. We would recommend that anyone undertaking a large or small project save yourselves the time and just begin working with Intelligent Kitchen.”

  • “Lauren at IKDNY is great. She is very professional and has impeccable taste. this was my first home on my own, and first time renovating. I did not have any idea where to start, and Lauren was extremely helpful. She really maximized the space in my small kitchen and picked beautiful product. My only regret is that I did not renovate my bathroom. I will be calling again.”

    - Sarah W.

  • “Lauren designed for us a well thought out and functional kitchen that met all of the wish list items we had in mind. She also has a keen eye for design and made sure that everything looked perfect too. She was very hands on, stopping by our project several times to make sure measurements were accurate, cabinets were installed properly, as well as a final walkthrough. We could not be more happy with our kitchen and would recommend Intelligent Kitchen in a heartbeat.”

    - Lucy B.

  • “Lauren designed and coordinated the gut renovation of our kitchen. We could not be more pleased with the way our project turned out. It has transformed our apartment. Lauren had a genuine interest in our project, and we had close interaction and collaboration with her though every stage. We first discussed our vision of an open kitchen concept and pictures of our style on Pinterest. Lauren then added her professional touch to our style and created 3D renderings of our new kitchen. These 3D renderings were very particularly helpful so we could see what really worked in our space.”
