Every corner of a home should have a purpose, and let`s be honest, a little personality! For this family, their home had a few awkward spaces they wanted to rework. After getting an understanding of how the family functions in their home, we were able to remodel the first floor into functional, inviting rooms where the whole family can gather, play, and relax.
To start, we turned the kitchen and dining room into two complementary areas that flow together. By opening sight lines from the side door through the mudroom and living spaces, the whole first floor feels bright and connected. We also made sure the bathroom and laundry entry stayed out of view, so the kitchen feels clean and uncluttered.
One of the main features of the kitchen is an island cooktop which encourages interaction, by letting the family face each other while cooking or dining there. A large window over the cast iron sink brings a traditional farmhouse feel to this woodsy property, and a hidden pantry keeps extra storage organized. Off the dining room, what was once an awkwardly placed bedroom became a bold, conversation-ready den. We kept the wood stove and focused on creating a multi-use space for family togetherness while still providing separate areas for different tasks. Custom built-ins, wainscoting, and a wood storage closet give the space purpose and complement the warm, bright nature of the home.
With thoughtful layout redesigns and smart details, the first floor now works in a way that suits the family. Every space is designed to be perfect for daily life, lively dinners, cozy hangouts or whatever else life throws its way!

Making decisions during a remodel can feel overwhelming.
There are layouts to consider, materials to choose, budgets to manage, and timelines to keep on track. When everything is happening at once, it’s easy to feel unsure about what the “right” choice is.

From the first conversation through final construction, our team is there to guide you through every step. We take the time to understand how you live in your space, walk you through the options, and explain the “why” behind each recommendation so you can make decisions with confidence.
Just as important, we make sure you always know what’s happening and what comes next. Clear communication, thoughtful planning, and one team managing the entire process means you’re never left wondering who to call or where things stand. You always have a team looking out for the details and making sure everything moves forward smoothly.
At the end of the day, the finished space is only part of a successful remodel. Feeling supported and informed throughout the entire process matters just as much.

Professional cooktops are an amazing way to enhance your kitchen. They transform the way you cook, and have the added bonus of making your kitchen look sleek and high-end.
An induction cooktop is a great option. Induction heats faster than traditional electric or gas, giving you precise temperature control for everything from delicate sauces to rapid searing. It stays cooler to the touch, making it safer for families, and is more energy-efficient while helping improve indoor air quality because there’s no gas line required. Cooking with induction is intuitive, responsive, and versatile, whether you’re whipping up weeknight dinners or experimenting with new recipes.
Prefer traditional gas? Not a problem! A range cooktop gives high-temperature precision for searing, simmering, or even charring vegetables directly on the grate. One of the benefits of getting a professional grade cooktop is the diversity in size. Larger stovetops, up to 48 or 60 inches, give you more room to cook multiple dishes at once, which is perfect for family dinners or entertaining.
Beyond functionality, professional appliances bring a polished, high-end feel to your kitchen. They create a statement of luxury and craftsmanship that elevates the entire space.
If you’re thinking about a remodel, it helps to know which features are worth the investment. Choosing appliances that balance style, function, and budget can make all the difference. That’s why we’re hosting Essential “Need to Knows” from the Remodeling Pros on April 11 @ 10 AM. We’ll walk you through critical decisions, from appliances and layouts to finishes and budgeting, so you can plan a kitchen that looks amazing and works even better.

Not all remodels are created equal, and knowing which level is right for you is the first step to a smooth renovation.
When it comes to kitchen and bath design, we break remodeling down into three key levels:
✨ Cosmetic Refresh
New paint, updated fixtures, maybe swapping out countertops. This is perfect if your layout works but your space just needs a facelift.
✨ Pull-and-Replace
Keeping the general layout, but replacing all the major elements: cabinetry, appliances, lighting, plumbing. A popular choice for creating a fresh, modern look without major construction.
✨ Custom Redesign
Walls may come down, layouts shift, and the space is reimagined from the ground up. This level allows for complete personalization, which is ideal for those who want their home to function exactly how they live.
If you’re planning a remodel and want to feel confident about the decisions ahead, join us for Essential “Need to Knows” from the Remodeling Pros seminar on April 11 at 10 AM, where we’ll walk you through the full process of transforming your kitchen and bath. We’ll be going over everything from budgeting and layouts to selecting cabinets, finishes, appliances, and countertops so you’ll leave with a clear vision for your space.

When Stacey and Nicholas moved into their home, they knew a remodel would eventually be part of the plan. What started as a few ideas quickly grew into a full transformation of the first and second floors, from bedrooms and bathrooms to the kitchen and main living spaces.
Like many homeowners at the start of a large project, the two of them had a general vision but weren’t quite sure how all the details would come together. That’s where the design process really began. Working closely with our team, they were able to turn those early ideas into a clear plan that reflected how they wanted their home to function and feel.
One of the perks of hiring a design build team is having a single point of contact throughout the entire project. Instead of coordinating with multiple people across design and construction, they always knew exactly who to call when questions came up. From the earliest conversations through the final stages of construction, our team handled the logistics, any issues that came up, the details, and the moving pieces so Stacey and Nicholas didn’t have to.
Equally important was knowing what to expect along the way. Our process ensures clear communication, organized planning, and a well-defined schedule, which meant that they understood the timeline from the start, and the project stayed on track every step of the way.
And after the construction dust cleared, Stacey and Nicholas were left with a beautifully remodeled home that`s everything they could have imagined and more.

One of the best starting points for a remodel is a client who already knows what they love.
In the case of this historic home from the 1900s, there were a few must-haves: the cabinet color (@cabicocabinetry Svelte if you were wondering!), a statement backsplash, a standout copper hood, and an open layout with no upper cabinets. From there, we helped our client translate those ideas into a kitchen that’s built around how she lives and full of character.
Those decisions helped shape the entire space. The 2” thick countertops add weight and elegance, inset cabinets create a seamless, tailored look, and @grothouseinc walnut shelves bring warmth and texture. Behind the scenes, high-performance appliances from @subzeroandwolf, @thermadorhome, and @kitchenaidusa ensure her kitchen works as beautifully as it looks.
Even in a 200 sq ft kitchen, intentional design transforms how the space feels and functions. This kitchen has become a reflection of our client`s style, daily life, and her home’s history.
If you’re dreaming about a kitchen that’s truly yours, we`d love to bring the dream to life. Schedule a complimentary consultation and let us help you bring your vision to life!

The most memorable homes aren’t designed to look like everyone else’s. There’s no fun in that! Instead, they’re designed around the people who live in them.
For this project, our clients wanted their home to feel more comfortable and be better suited to how they actually move through their day. That meant reworking both the kitchen and the primary bathroom to create spaces that support everyday life.
In the kitchen, we focused on improving storage and adding seating so the space could handle busy mornings and time spent together. Smart storage solutions keep the kitchen organized and efficient, while the added seating turns it into a place where people naturally gather.
Upstairs, the primary bathroom underwent a complete layout transformation. The new layout makes room for a spacious shower, a generous vanity, and a private water closet area. With better flow and more breathing room, the space now feels more open and far more practical.
One detail that ties the project together is the use of blue tile throughout the home. Rather than matching exactly, different tones and patterns were used in each space, creating subtle connections while allowing each room to have its own personality. By approaching the remodel with the homeowners’ lifestyle at the center of every decision, we’re left with a home that feels more intuitive to live in and much more reflective of who they are.

Workstation sinks are one of those features that clients see once and immediately ask about.
Instead of a standard sink basin, a workstation sink is designed with built-in ledges that hold accessories like cutting boards, drying racks, and strainers. Everything can slide and move to accommodate what you’re doing, whether that’s prepping dinner, cleaning veggies for the kids’ lunches, rinsing dishes, or cleaning up after guests.
It turns the sink area into a true work zone. You can chop, rinse, drain, and tidy up all in one place while keeping the surrounding counters clear.
Many workstation sinks also include a bottom grid, which helps protect the sink surface from scratches and dents while keeping dishes slightly elevated so water can drain away more easily. Pairing the sink with a spring-style faucet can make the space even more functional. The exposed coil design allows the spray head to move freely, making it easier to rinse large pots, reach the corners of the sink, and handle everyday cleanup with more flexibility.
Adding a workstation sink is a small design decision in the grand scheme of things, but it can make a big difference in how a kitchen functions day to day.
Thinking about a kitchen remodel? Our designers can help you decide which features are truly worth incorporating into your space. We also have a workstation sink in our show room, so you can really feel what it would be like to have one in your home. Schedule a complimentary consultation through the link in our bio!

Just because a bathroom is large doesn’t mean it’s working well.
This space had plenty of square footage, but the layout wasn’t making the most of it. The oversized jacuzzi tub took up a large portion of the room and was rarely used, while the shower stall felt surprisingly small for a bathroom this size. So we started by rethinking the layout around how the client actually wanted to use the space.
By removing the tub, we were able to significantly expand the shower, transforming it into a much more comfortable and practical feature of the room. The additional space also allowed us to incorporate open shelving, creating convenient storage that keeps everyday essentials within reach without overcrowding the design.
Now our client’s have a bathroom that feels more open and is much better aligned with their routine.
If you’re thinking about updating your bathroom, our team would love to help you explore some options. Schedule a complimentary consultation through the link in our bio!

Once you select the finishes, the hardest part of the remodel is over, right?
We hate to break it to you, but that’s just the beginning.
In reality, that’s when the real coordination begins.
Ordering cabinetry, tile, plumbing fixtures, hardware, and appliances from multiple vendors.
Confirming measurements before anything is released.
Tracking lead times and monitoring production schedules.
Coordinating deliveries so materials arrive exactly when they’re needed, not weeks too early or a day too late.
Scheduling trades in the proper sequence so each phase flows into the next.
Following up on backorders.
Inspecting shipments.
Resolving issues before they ever reach your radar.
These are the things our clients don’t have to worry about. They don’t even need to let them cross their minds.
Behind every finished kitchen or bath is an entire layer of project management most people never see. Countless emails, site visits, calendar adjustments, and constant communication between vendors, installers, and designers. It’s a lot to keep track of!
At RIKB, we believe a remodel should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Our team manages the moving parts so you’re not chasing updates, juggling contractors, or wondering what happens next. That way, you can focus on the joy of transforming your home, not the stress of managing it.
If you’re thinking about remodeling and want a team that handles the details from start to finish, we’d love to meet you. Schedule a complimentary consultation through the link in our bio and let’s start talking about your dream space!

We talk a lot about structuring remodels around how our clients function in their space. So when this family came to us asking for a whole-home transformation, we knew it had to be more than new finishes.
It started with the layout.
On the first floor, we completely reworked the kitchen to create better flow and everyday usability. We added new hardwood flooring and updated lighting to brighten the space. One thing we look for when doing a build like this is spaces that don’t serve the homeowner. In tis case, it was a powder room that just felt a bit too cramped. We removed it to make space for a full bath and a flexible office or guest room, giving the home more versatility without adding an addition.
Upstairs, the kids’ bath received a thoughtful pull-and-replace renovation, while the primary suite underwent the most dramatic change. We removed a bedroom to expand both the sleeping area and the bath, creating a true retreat with a full tile shower, multiple showerheads, a furniture-style double vanity, and a private water closet.
Every bedroom was refreshed with new flooring, lighting, and paint, creating cohesion throughout the whole home.
By reworking the layout on both floors, we transformed the way each space supports daily life. The family now has room to spread out, gather comfortably, and retreat to a sanctuary when they need privacy.

Induction stovetops have become really popular over that last few years, and with good reason! If you’re thinking about adding one to your kitchen remodel, here are a few reasons you’ll love an induction stovetop, especially after you’ve lived with one for a few weeks:
✨ It responds instantly.
When you turn it down, it actually turns down because it has ultra-precise temperature control. No more waiting for a burner to “catch up” after you turn the dial. That level of control completely changes how you cook.
✨It makes busy weeknights easier.
This one speaks for itself. Water boils faster and pans heat evenly, so you spend less time hovering over the stove and more time enjoying dinner with loved ones.
✨It’s safer by design.
Induction stovetops use electromagnetic technology to directly heat the cookware, rather than the surface beneath it. As a result, there’s less residual heat making it a safer option for families with kids or pets.
✨It keeps your kitchen cleaner.
Since the stovetop stays cooler, spills are less likely to bake onto the surface, making cleanup is simple.
✨It supports a more streamlined design.
The smooth surface blends beautifully into modern kitchens and even works seamlessly in islands, keeping sightlines clean and open.
Choosing induction means you’re opting for energy efficiency, quick cooking, and a safer kitchen environment, all while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. So, if you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen with a high-performance cooktop, induction could be the perfect choice for you!
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel and wondering whether induction is right for you, come experience it in person in our showroom or schedule a complimentary consultation through the link in our bio. We’ll help you decide what truly fits your home and how you live.

One of the fastest ways to regret a remodel is designing it based on a Pinterest board. Because even though that board may be absolutely stunning, at the end of the day, those pictures aren’t actually your home.
When trends are applied without the necessary considerations, they can overpower a space, fight the architecture, require more maintenance than you realize, and in many cases, age much faster than you expect.
For example:
✨A finish that looks dramatic online might feel really heavy in a low-light kitchen.
✨An open shelf might look beautiful until you find yourself dusting it every week.
✨A design detail that “pops” in Pinterest photos might interrupt the flow of how you actually use the space.
That’s why at RIKB, we evaluate every trend in the context of your home, your lifestyle, and how the space will function for years to come. When done thoughtfully, trends won’t date your home, they’ll elevate it.
Want to see the latest products, trends and insights from The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and learn how to incorporate those trends the smart way?

Some trends surprise you. And honestly? Some completely win you over.
A few of our design consultants just came back from The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show where they saw many new products and trends. On top of that, throughout the last few months, we’ve spotted a few design moments we didn’t expect to love as much as we do… but here we are.
Natural materials are having a major moment. Think warm wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and flooring that brings texture and authenticity back into the space. There’s something grounding about it. It feels layered and makes the space feel lasting.
Wallpaper is back too. Not just on walls, but on ceilings. We’re seeing lots of patterns and textures. It’s bold in all the right ways and adds personality without overwhelming when it’s balanced thoughtfully.
And then there’s color story. Soft neutrals paired with deep, moody tones. Warm taupes with rich espresso. Creamy whites against inky blues or forest greens. This is a trend we’ve been seeing for a while and we’re still enjoying it.
The key to incorporating the trends into your build is layering them over a timeless foundation so the space doesn’t feel dated years from now.
If you’re planning a remodel and wondering which trends are worth embracing, join us for our Top Trends from KBIS seminar on March 7 from 10–11 AM. Our designers will share what’s new, what’s lasting, and how to invest wisely in your home.

Fresh off the floor of the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), Kingsley headed straight to The Rhode Show to share what’s next in kitchen and bath design for 2026.
One of the biggest takeaways this year is that we’re moving beyond all-white spaces and embracing depth. Think rich colors, layered textures, warm wood tones, mixed metals, and statement surfaces. We’re also seeing an emphasis on technology that blends seamlessly into the design rather than standing out from it.
With more than 600 brands unveiling new collections, it’s clear the design conversation has shifted. Today’s trends are less about surface-level style and more about what performs well, lasts, and enhances how you live in your space every day.
If you’re curious how these emerging trends can be thoughtfully incorporated into a real home, join us for our complimentary seminar, Top Trends from KBIS, on March 7 from 10–11 AM.
We’ll walk through the trends that we’re genuinely excited about and how to incorporate them your home in a way that suits you and your lifestyle.

Not every trend belongs in every home.
And knowing if a specific trend is right for your home is what separates a smart investment from an expensive mistake.
Before committing to any design choice, we walk our clients through a few questions that help them zoom out and think beyond what’s popular this year:
✨ Are you looking for a bold, defining moment or something that quietly elevates the space?
✨ Will this still feel like “you” in five or ten years?
✨ If you plan to sell, how might this resonate with future buyers?
✨ Does it support how you actually live day to day?
✨ Are you comfortable with the maintenance it may require?
After we have a strong understanding of what you’re looking for and what will work with your home, then we can think about what trends work best. Because at the end of the day, the remodels many of our clients dream about don’t avoid trends. They layer them intentionally.
A dramatic slab, a wallpapered ceiling, or deep, moody cabinetry can be stunning. But they need to make sense for the scale of the room, the natural light, the way you live, and the overall vision for the space. That’s where hiring an experienced design build team matters.
We’ll be diving deeper into this at our Top Trends from The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) seminar. Our designers will break down what’s emerging, what’s evolving, and how to incorporate trends in a way that enhances your home and protects your investment.
If you’re planning a remodel, this is the conversation to have before making big decisions.

Trends are exciting. They’re fresh, bold, and if you’re scrolling socials, it’s easy to feel like everyone is following them.
And truth be told, there’s nothing wrong with that! Trends are genuinely very fun. But if you’re looking for a remodel that won’t feel dated in a few years, then you need to consider which trends are worth bringing home… and which ones are better left on your Pinterest board.
The real difference between a passing moment and a lasting investment comes down to layering. A timeless foundation like quality cabinetry, thoughtful layout, durable materials and cohesive design creates a space that will serve you for decades. Then, the right trends are layered in intentionally through finishes, fixtures, color, and detail.
That’s how you get a kitchen or bath that feels current today and still looks amazing years from now.
Want to see which trends are worth the investment?
Join us on March 7 from 10:00–11:00 AM for Top Trends from The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). Our designers are bringing back insights from 600+ leading brands, including over 100 new companies, and sharing what’s actually making an impact in real homes.

Believe it or not, everyone at RIKB being able to read those plans matters more than you might think.
Every smooth remodel starts with a deep understanding of how a home is built, how spaces function, and how individual design decisions ripple through the entire project. At RIKB, our designers are doing a lot more than making aesthetic decisions. They’re doing site visits, catching potential issues early, discussing ideas with the build team, and thinking through how each choice will be executed long before construction begins.
And since we’re a fully integrated design-build firm, everything happens under one roof. Design, planning, and construction are coordinated from the start, so you’re not left managing details or worrying about what might get missed. Issues are anticipated and communication is clear so your project keeps moving forward with intention.
As a result, the whole process that feels calm, supported, well thought out, and even fun! We pride ourselves on creating a remodel experience where you can trust that your home and your vision are being carefully looked after every step of the way.
If you’re considering a remodel and want a team that truly has it covered, let’s schedule a complimentary consultation! We want to talk through your ideas and show you how our process is designed to take care of you from start to finish. Click the link in our bio or send us a DM to get started!
