Today, many homeowners are looking to remodel their kitchens but doing so requires a great contractor who comes highly recommended, and a smart layout. When you work with an experienced design it will save you a great deal of hassle by laying out a remodeling plan that takes into consideration how to maximize your storage, how to find local contractors for a great piece, and what smart substitutions are out there for otherwise high-end (expensive) materials. By working with a professional you can cut your costs without having to cut corners and the end result will be achieved without any bank-breaking mistakes.
Keeping up with the trends
The kitchen of the future is one that will be smaller in size, according to most estimates. And that is understandable given that today, living spaces are shrinking and furniture today is becoming smaller than it has in the last decade. But while ponderous pieces of furniture are a thing of the past, the shift for smaller items goes hand in hand with a preference among buyers for contemporary pieces and less ornate designs. Nowhere in the home is this more evident than with kitchen remodeling.
With kitchen remodeling Plano based, professional designers can connect you with the furniture you require. Whether you need new counters, cabinets, or simple tables and decorations, furniture with a smaller profile is becoming the latest fashion trend, a trend that is seemingly here to stay. Consumers are turning to decorators to help them expound upon the existing space and to make the most efficient use of it.
Multi-functional furniture
In addition to that, with newer kitchen remodeling efforts in Plano comes the trend and growing demand for multi-functional furniture. This concept may not be new, but the increase demand for it as a result of the aforementioned smaller spaces is now leading to a great many inspirational kitchen islands, counters, and cabinets that double as a way to store miscellaneous foods or cooking items while simultaneously providing seating and table space for preparation and consumption.
When considering new furniture for a kitchen remodel, hand crafted items made from nothing by skilled artisans can ensure that your kitchen is the talk of the town. Eco-friendly natural woods can be customized to your hardware and style needs as well as your kitchen dimensions and choice of material. If your existing space is full of quirky architecture, or you simply want a companion piece to an already stunning kitchen design, you can work with craftsmen who will create what you need to your exact specifications.

Stephanie Volm2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Morten on two projects now. We first found him while searching for a contractor to help us address an urgent kitchen remodel after our dishwasher suddenly flooded out our lower cabinets. Morten was so knowledgable and really guided us through all of the decisions and considerations we didn't know we were going to have to make. He helped us think about HOW we use our kitchen, given us a bunch of suggestions on functionality that may be helpful and also working through some ideas I had. He was a great partner. Even more so, the quality of his work is really fantastic. We got estimates from multiple contractors and chose Morten because his approach to building for our house (and not in some random factory) made us know we were getting quality. Our cabinets are so impressive and such high quality, we get compliments all of the time. He helped us with sliding shelves, magic corners, multi-purpose drawers and even hidden storage on the ends for our dog leashes! I love that he does the work himself and doesn't have a huge team of subcontractors. It's super clear he takes great pride in his work and it's reflected in my house now! We loved working with him so much we then asked him to do a guest suite remodel. I had a vision for the bathroom vanity for both storage and look and he executed it perfectly! He retro-fitted pocket doors for us and took out awful built-ins to make the bathroom beautiful, clean, and add some much needed space. He's easy to work with, gives great insight, has outstanding quality and ensures you love the final product. We'll be doing our primary bathroom/bedroom next year and will be using Morten for that too! I can't say enough about how happy we are with his professionalism, pure craftsman talent, and outstanding work! Susan Krenek2024-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten just completed the last of our first floor renovation and we love it! He finished renovation of our master bathroom, bar, family room, kitchen and stairway after water damage from the freeze in 2021. We have been very happy with his workmanship, so we had him back to reconfigure our laundry room. We love the functionality of our new space! David Rivera2024-02-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Craftsmanship very happy with project performed for us Jennifer Roemer2023-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Morten in February 2022 to completely gut my kitchen and master bath. He also took down wood paneling and cabinets in my living room. He was fabulous. He spent time with me getting to know my needs and designed custom cabinets in both locations. For example, I said I need a proper place to store my blow dryer and other styling products. So he made a drawer with holders for the blow dryer and flat iron. Like a salon! He will listen to you and come up with a design to suit your needs and space. Morten was in my house nearly every day from Feb. to August and I trust him 100%. He is meticulous (trained as an electrical engineer and it shows in the care he takes measuring and ensuring, for example, that the shower pan will properly drain. Mine did not before.). He is neat and tidy as are the electrician and painter with whom he works. If you’re looking for a genuine craftsman who doesn’t deal in pre-fabricated materials and construction, you cannot go wrong with Morten. I told him the other day I look forward to coming home from work and being in my new kitchen and bathroom. I love them! Photos below are before and after first for kitchen and then bathroom. Joanne Hannaman2020-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friends and neighbors referred us to Morton, The Viking Craftsman for a new outdoor deck that evolved into a 1st floor remodel of our home. Morten did not disappoint, all work exceeded our expectations! The quality of custom workmanship is exceptional. Morten’s clear communication of process, timelines and costs helped us break down our design, appliance and hardware decisions into logical, manageable pieces. His painting and flooring subcontractors were just as impressive. Great quality and attention to detail! We were particularly grateful for Morton’s calm demeanor and his honesty, flexibility and expertise in kitchen and bathroom design. At the completion of the project we fell in love with our 20yr old home all over again. We also made a great friend in Morten, he is a true Craftsman!! We highly recommend The Viking Craftsman without reservation to anyone looking to renovate/remodel their home. P Grabow (pcg)2020-03-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten is a real craftsman -- talented, professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. He modified our master bath by replacing the tub with a large shower, reconfigured the old shower/toilet area, and resurfaced/painted the walls. His painting sub did a fantastic job -- helping us choose the color with detailed, professional execution. saabviggen932019-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent contractor. Does 99% of work himself. Meticulous attention to detail. Beautifully handcrafted woodwork vanity. Easy to work with. Value priced. Best possible bathroom renovation experience. Hiring him again for additional work in other parts of house. Excellent at plumbing, woodwork, tiling, aesthetics. Hire him! Joey Merz2016-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished a project with Morten the Viking Craftsman. Morten did a complete rebuild of our living room builtin cabinets to accommodate a new flat screen TV configuration. We found Morten by researching online. From our very first conversation Morten was professional and knowledgeable. We have had challenges with contractors in the past, as most people have, but that was not the case here. Morten did an outstanding job, he was a pleasure to work with and did exceptional work. He was efficient and minimized the impact to our home during construction. In my opinion, Morten is a very honest, genuine person who I would and will recommend to all of my friends and neighbors. We couldn't be happier!
