President & Contractor
Van Selow Design Build, LLC
- Plan Your Workflow First
Start with the work triangle—sink, stove and refrigerator. These should be positioned to minimize steps, prevent bottlenecks and keep the kitchen flowing smoothly during everyday use and busy gatherings. - Mix Storage Types
Don’t rely on standard cabinets alone. Incorporate deep drawers for pots and pans, pull-out spice racks, tray dividers and pantry pull-outs. These small additions drastically improve day-to-day function. - Prioritize Lighting
Combine ambient, task and accent lighting. Under-cabinet lights make meal prep easier, while statement pendants add personality. Great lighting elevates even the simplest designs. - Choose Durable Materials
From countertops to flooring, durability matters. Quartz counters, quality cabinetry and high-performance paints help your kitchen stand up to years of cooking, kids and entertaining. - Don’t Forget Electrical and Ventilation
Extra outlets, dedicated circuits and a properly sized range hood are often overlooked, but essential for safety and comfort. - Think Long Term
Design for how you’ll use the space five or 10 years from now. Classic finishes, flexible storage and smart appliances ensure your kitchen stays timeless.
When in doubt, consult your contractor early—they’ll help you avoid costly mistakes and bring your vision to life.
