In my experience most architects suck at interior design and especially kitchen design. So don’t worry about that perception It will be to your advantage as an architect to find a good interior designer to add to your team so now would be a good time to explore that option. For instance O live the inspo pic but honestly it is non functional so that is where a good ID can be invaluable in getting the look but in a practical way. IMO your first step should be lighting and all in LED 4000K bulbs since most of your furnishings are contemporary you want the colors to stay true

To echo all others, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Made filed the wrong plans with our City Building Dept for someone else's bathroom. Now, we have an unpermitted bathroom. I only discovered the permit issue when I saw that Made installed the wrong vanity, wrong tub, wrong toilet, wrong tile, wrong fixtures...the list goes on, in our home. Inconceivable, considering we signed off on written design plans and a product purchase list. Upon discovering Made's incompetence, I asked the contractor to stop construction while we sorted the mess out. The contractor told me that other Made accounts of his were in litigation. Made said the right items were installed in our bathroom, and they completely ignored the issue of the wrong plans being filed. This is absurd, as everything is in writing, there are SKUs on everything, and the incorrect plans are clearly on record with the City. But Made already had our money (they make you pay everything in advance). Their very obvious strategy is to deny and ignore, hoping you'll give up. So, we hired an attorney to help us elevate our complaints. Again, Made denied and ignored. Thankfully, there is an arbitration clause in the contract we signed. We are very confident that we will prevail when a third party arbitrator is involved. But it's very clear (look at Glassdoor or anywhere else online) that Made will go out of business, and it's just a matter of when. Hopefully, we can recoup some of our losses before then. Years of dealing with Made and all we have is an unusable, unfinished master bathroom that we already paid for, plus a race to arbitration before Made is bankrupt. We've since learned and renovated successfully 2 of our remaining bathrooms by working with a contract designer (Fiverr or Upwork have lots of options) and a local contractor directly. So much better. Do yourself a favor and avoid Made at all costs.

I’ll put a few things together and see what he thinks. Over 90% of the time we agree on picks. Maybe there is a formica that won’t show cut marks as much. There are three of these townhomes up for rent now for $2,600 to $2,700 which seems crazy high to me. All have various stages of remodel. Not grand but most nice enough. My son wants to rent his for slightly less even though his also has a good sized under roof screened patio. Even he thinks the rent is crazy high here. Anyway, this is what we will be working with. And this LVP in the 3.35 width because we think the wide will look stupid in here. The real color is between these two photos. A pinch warmer than above but not as warm as below. Sorta more natural ETA: Call me crazy but I like this Formica below for an older Florida kitchen. Too bathroomy?
