Updating a kitchen and/or bathroom adds enormous value to any home. But, more importantly, having a beautiful space that fits your aesthetic and needs brings a level of functionality and appreciation that is priceless.
Unfortunately, many homeowners are intimidated by the entire process. After all, there are myriad steps involved, from hiring the right contractor and finding a designer who understands your vision to choosing the right materials. It can be truly overwhelming, and finding the right partner in this journey is essential.
With locations in Brentwood and Tampa, FL, its team possesses an incredible 70 years of combined industry experience. “Our team is made up of experienced design consultants, skilled craftsmen, and dedicated project managers,” says marketing manager Jennifer Cobat. “They are professionals who share a passion for transforming homes and exceeding expectations.”
Its staff participates in ongoing education and product training to stay ahead of design trends, new materials, and best practices in remodeling. “Most importantly, our clients can trust that we approach every project with integrity, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results that stand the test of time.”
Unlike big box stores that offer one-size-fits-all solutions, the team at DesignCraft provides a boutique experience that begins in your home, not in a store aisle. This no-cost consultation allows them to understand homeowners’ unique spaces, needs, and styles, and then tailor a design just for them.
“By meeting our clients in their own space, our designers can see their home’s layout, lighting, and architectural details firsthand,” she says. “This allows us to make personalized recommendations that enhance both the form and function of their home.”
During the consultation, a thorough discussion takes place and includes the homeowner’s goals and style preferences, as well as how they use their space. “This on-site, tailored approach helps our clients make confident decisions and ensures that the finished design feels truly integrated with their home and lifestyle,” says Jennifer. “Following the in-home consultation, clients are invited into one of our local showrooms to view a 3D design rendering, and are guided through material and design options that best fit their needs and budget by their design consultant.”
Because all great designs deserve great materials, DesignCraft partners with trusted manufacturers known for craftsmanship, durability, and style. “From premium cabinetry and countertops to high-performance fixtures and hardware, every product we recommend is selected for its quality, value, and long-term performance,” she says. “Our curated selections allow homeowners to choose from an array of finishes, styles, and configurations, ensuring that each space not only looks beautiful but also functions perfectly for their daily lives. The wide range of semi-custom to custom cabinetry lines we carry allows us to provide our clients with solutions to fit their budget.”
Best of all, DesignCraft manages the entire project from start to finish. “A dedicated designer and project manager oversee every detail from concept and material selection to installation and completion, ensuring a seamless experience and consistent communication throughout,” says Jennifer. “Our clients receive the personal attention, design expertise, and craftsmanship that simply can’t be matched by large retail chains.”
One of its talented teams recently completed a stunning kitchen renovation in Franklin. The homeowners wanted to open up their space and create a layout better suited to their lifestyle, so the project began with a design vision centered on functionality and flow. “Our team reconfigured the entire layout of the kitchen,” she says. “We expanded and relocated the back wall of the kitchen to incorporate a hidden walk-in pantry, adding both convenience and a welcoming space behind the sleek cabinetry.”
Sustainability and creativity played a significant role in this transformation. Instead of replacing everything, the existing cabinets were trimmed and repurposed to create storage in the new pantry, preserving the craftsmanship and character of the originals. “The existing pine floors throughout the main level were replaced with wide-plank engineered wood flooring, bringing a clean, cohesive look to the home,” says Jennifer. “In addition, those original pine boards found a second life as custom open shelving in the new pantry, adding a handcrafted touch to the design. Even the former bar top was salvaged and refinished as the pantry countertop, giving new purpose to a familiar piece of the home.”
Since the homeowners were devoted coffee enthusiasts, the team designed a dedicated coffee bar as part of the new layout, complete with a built-in pot filler to make brewing the perfect cup even easier.
“The result is a kitchen that feels open, bright, and thoughtfully curated,” she says. “Every detail reflects the homeowners’ lifestyle and personality, blending modern comfort in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.”
