Why affordability matters.
Sally Grange, Stock Building Supply, Chicago, IL
Problem:
The kitchen has become a very visual room of the home. It is no longer used only for cooking; it has become a room for entertainment and fun. Because of this, homeowners are looking for aesthetics and very frequently want a custom kitchen. However, many times people don’t realize how much a custom kitchen design costs. When the cabinetry is not affordable we often do not get the sale.
Solution:
Aristokraft allows me to give a very similar design for a much lower cost. For example, one customer brought in a picture of an $80,000 Tuscany kitchen and asked me to recreate it for her. She didn’t want to pay that amount, so I needed to get down to the details and figure out what she liked about the design. I was able to recreate it using Aristokraft base cabinets, decorative panels, a 4-1/4 inch high base shoe and a quarter round. These pieces allowed me to make the island look like a piece of furniture and mirror the Tuscan look, without a high price tag.
Result:
My customer loved the look! And, it fit within the budget. Aristokraft has so many options and the pricing allows you to do a great design. They are able to stay on top of trends and consumers’ wants. Products such as the 12-in deep base cabinets and cabinets without doors allow designers to create a custom look at affordable price. We have carried this cabinetry for at least 21 years.
