[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi op. I just designed a similar Scandinavian inspired kitchen and love it (and love the open shelving that I use just as you describe). Honesty I did the design myself and anything I got from kitchen places was super basic. We used ikea cabinets with semihandmade fronts - check it out. Really has a lot of options for more modern looks and the cabinets are seriously wonderful. IKEA makes them so so functional and semihandmade makes them look more like midrange. It does require a lot of work on your end designing but for me it was worth it to get what I wanted. I did a lot of research and figuring out the look I wanted and then replicated. Check out DeVol kitchens too. One option is to design your own this way and then hire a contractor to do it. Since you have a decent budget you could also hire a kitchen designer. I’m not sure exactly where to find one but maybe post on some local list serves and interview one til you find someone willing. I would also look on Instagram and find designers that you like what they’ve done. A lot of them do virtual consulting right now. [/quote]

Just read your update and realized I should add that I paid a friend who is an interior designer to consult on my design. Honestly personally would not pay 20k for cabinets in a design you don’t like. It sounds like what you need is to find someone who understands your aesthetic who will help you with those questions you have. And I really do think it’s worth at least perusing semihandmade for ideas at a minimum. And it really might be a good option. You get a custom look for a much more reasonable price and everything I read was if you’re going with midrange cabinets these actually look nicer. [/quote]
