About

If you're planning your first kitchen since ... well, forever ... there are enough choices to overwhelm even the most stallwart remodeller.

The kitchen and bathroom industry is continually changing. Finishes and materials that were the rage 10 years ago are now being removed by our trades to make way for the latest and greatest. Appliances have evolved from the "standard" 30" electric range to induction cooktops that can boil water in 90 seconds and microwave/convection ovens that can roast a chicken in 45 minutes. Concrete and glass, once considered building materials for the structure of the home, are now finding their way into the kitchen as countertops and wall cladding.

This blog is designed to do two things: Inform & Inspire.

We'll INFORM you by providing you with the latest information on materials, accessories and design techniques ... things we use everyday at Paradigm Kitchen Design. And because we use them, you'll know they've been tried and tested in the real world.

We'll INSPIRE you by sharing with you a detailed look at the many kitchen and bathroom projects we complete every year. From a grand chef's kitchen in West Vancouver to a simple condo re-do in Yaletown, there's something to learn from each project that can be applied to yours.

As designers, we learn the most from you, our clients. So in return for sharing our thoughts with you, we hope you'll contribute your thoughts, ideas and questions to us.
