The difference between a kitchen designer and an interior designer

Surround Yourself with Experts: The Key to a Successful Kitchen Renovation

Renovating a kitchen is much more than choosing beautiful cabinets. It’s a major project that requires careful planning, a cohesive vision and above all, the right team. To ensure a result that meets your expectations, it's essential to work with qualified experts, each with their own complementary role.

Interior Designer vs. Kitchen Designer: Who Does What?

The terms can be confusing. The interior designer—also known as an interior architect in French is responsible for the overall harmony of your space. They ensure that colors, materials, lighting, and finishes work together to create a cohesive and personalized ambiance. Their approach is comprehensive, much like a general practitioner who assesses the whole patient before making a diagnosis.

The kitchen designer, on the other hand, is a specialist in built-in cabinetry. They are deeply familiar with industry standards, materials, and the technical requirements unique to kitchen design. Their role is to create a space that is not only beautiful but also functional and ergonomic, tailored to your lifestyle, needs, and layout. They are your go-to expert from start to finish.

A Critical Collaboration

Though their responsibilities differ, these two experts often work hand in hand to ensure a successful outcome. Together, they make sure your new kitchen fits seamlessly with the rest of your home, both visually and practically.

Some kitchen designers work independently, but many offer their services through kitchen cabinet retailers, including Miralis partners. This setup ensures smooth coordination from dream to realization.
