Renovating a tired, old kitchen isn’t for beginners - it takes skill, experience and a whole lot of design talent. That’s why it’s always best to leave your Adelaide kitchen remodel to the professionals.
There are many kinds of kitchen specialists you can call to help you create your dream kitchen. Contractors will build it for you - but what about the design aspect? Do you need a designer or an architect for your kitchen renovation?
Read on to discover what these roles do and how they can help you design the kitchen you’ve always wanted.
What does a designer do?
Kitchen designers are specialists in their field. They know all the latest product updates and design trends and understand what makes a kitchen functional.
They’ll then take time to understand your vision for your new kitchen and offer their expertise and knowledge to make it both practical and beautiful.
Choosing a kitchen designer with interior design experience will help you achieve the right balance of aesthetics and functionality - giving you the perfect space to create memories in.
What does an architect do?
An architect looks at the bigger picture and designs the ultimate kitchen for you. They’ll assess how your family uses the kitchen, how the space works in terms of the rest of the house and how you live.
Architects have studied for years on the art and science of building design. They can tell you if your existing layout suits your vision or advise you on better solutions.
And best of all, every kitchen an architect designs is completely unique - they don’t offer cookie-cutter options and don’t receive commissions from other companies. This means that kitchen architects only recommend what they believe is the best choice.
Which is right for your Adelaide kitchen?
This depends on your vision. Do you want to change your cramped, closed-off kitchen into a spacious open-plan retreat? An architect can advise you on which walls to remove and what layout is best to create a kitchen with an airy, open feel. Or would you prefer a kitchen refresh with a new coat of paint, modern cabinets and a stunning benchtop? Designers are experts in colour, materials and textures that are easy to clean and look amazing.

You can, however, work with both, especially if your Adelaide kitchen renovation is complicated or high-scale. This will give you the best of both worlds - and give your new kitchen some serious ‘wow’ factor. And best of all, your architect and designer will speak directly to each other to share ideas and concepts so you won’t become the messenger. All you need to provide is a detailed brief and let them get to work.
