Question 1

Design First Kitchen approach, why is this important?

Accepted Answer

A design-first approach means the layout, function, and flow of your kitchen are completely redesigned before a single product is specified or ordered. Most cabinet showrooms and contractors skip this step — they measure your existing kitchen and fit products into whatever space you already have. Anna Landolac redesigns the kitchen properly first, which often reveals wasted space, poor traffic flow, and missed storage opportunities that a standard measure-and-install process would leave behind. The most common reaction from clients seeing their new design for the first time is: "Oh wow, I never thought of that." That moment — seeing what your kitchen could actually be — is what the design-first process is built around.

Question 2

Q: What cabinetry brands does Landolac Designs carry?

Accepted Answer

Landolac Designs is an authorized dealer of  Kemper and Mantra  and Bertch cabinetry— three respected all-wood cabinet lines offered at different investment levels. This means clients have genuine choice in how they allocate their budget without sacrificing construction quality or design integrity. All cabinetry is specified by Anna as part of the design process, not selected from a generic showroom catalog. Countertop options include Cambria, Pompeii, and Infinity porcelain, and tile selections are sourced through Bedrosian. Every product in the kitchen is chosen to work together as a system, not as individual purchases.

Question 3

Why should you start with kitchen design before hiring a contractor?

Accepted Answer

Starting with design helps you make smarter choices before anything is ordered or built. You get a layout that fits how you live, plus coordinated selections for cabinetry, countertops, tile, and lighting. That means fewer costly changes later and a clearer plan for your contractor to follow. It’s a better way to protect your investment—and one reason clients trust Landolac Designs, a Best of Gulfshore Life 2026 favorite!

Question 4

What does a kitchen designer in Bonita Springs and Naples actually do differently?

Accepted Answer

A kitchen designer redesigns your space before specifying a single product. A contractor measures and installs what fits. A designer reimagines what is possible - fixing layout problems, improving traffic flow and ensuring every selection works together as a system.

Question 5

Is design included in the project cost?

Accepted Answer

Professional, certified design is built into our process and included with every project quote. You get a fully designed kitchen-layout cabinetry, countertops, and finish coordination in color and 3D before purchasing.

Question 6

How long does a typical kitchen remodel take?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different, but a kitchen remodel usually takes several weeks to several months once construction begins. The timeline depends on the scope of work, product lead times, and how much custom detailing is involved. We plan carefully up front so the process stays as smooth as possible.

Question 7

Can you help me choose cabinetry, countertops, and finishes together?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. We design cabinetry, countertops, and the rest of the finish package as one cohesive plan, so the layout, materials, and style all support each other. No guesswork — just a clean, intentional result!
