A kitchen remodel is one of the most impactful investments you can make in a Kennewick home. It changes how the house feels every day — not just the resale value on paper. At D. Marie Interiors, we help Tri-Cities homeowners approach kitchen renovations with clarity: clear design direction, realistic budgeting, and finish selections that hold up over time rather than dating quickly.
We’re a Central Washington interior design studio, and while our home base is in the Wenatchee Valley, we serve clients throughout the region — including Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco. Kitchen remodel design is a significant portion of our residential work, and we bring the same thoughtful process to every project regardless of location.
Kitchen Remodel Design Services in Kennewick
Our role in a kitchen remodel is design and project coordination, not construction. Here’s what that includes:
Kitchen Layout Analysis and Planning
Before choosing any finishes, we evaluate the layout. Is the work triangle functional? Is there enough counter space? Does the island create traffic problems? We assess what works in your current kitchen and what needs to change — and we give you an honest read on whether layout changes are worth the added cost and disruption.
Cabinetry and Storage Design
Cabinetry is typically the largest budget item in a kitchen remodel and the most visible element of the finished space. We help you choose cabinet style, door profile, finish color, interior organization, and hardware — and we work with reputable cabinet suppliers to ensure what you select is actually available in your timeline and budget.
Countertop and Backsplash Selection
Quartz, quartzite, marble, porcelain slab, butcher block — every material has trade-offs in durability, maintenance, and cost. We help you understand those trade-offs in the context of how you actually cook and clean, then point you toward the right material for your household. The same applies to backsplash tile, where the options are nearly infinite and the coordination matters enormously.
Appliance Coordination
Appliance selection affects cabinetry sizing, hood design, electrical and gas requirements, and the overall look of the kitchen. We help you choose appliances that fit the design intent and practical needs of your household — not just the ones with the best marketing.
Lighting Design
Kitchens need layered lighting: ambient overhead, task lighting at countertops and the island, and accent or decorative lighting that makes the space feel finished. We design the lighting plan and specify fixtures that work with the design rather than being added as an afterthought.
Kitchen Remodel Costs in Kennewick, WA
Budget is always part of the conversation, and we’d rather have it early. Here’s what kitchen remodels typically cost in the Kennewick area:
- Cosmetic refresh (new hardware, backsplash, paint, lighting): $5,000–$15,000
- Mid-range remodel (new cabinets, countertops, appliances, same layout): $35,000–$65,000
- Full renovation (new layout, structural changes, premium finishes): $75,000–$150,000+
According to national Cost vs. Value data, mid-range kitchen remodels recoup a meaningful percentage of their cost at resale — particularly in active real estate markets like the Tri-Cities.
D. Marie Interiors’ design fees are structured separately from construction costs. We discuss fee expectations in the initial consultation so there are no surprises.
Popular Kitchen Styles in the Tri-Cities
Contemporary Kitchens
Clean lines, flat-front or slab cabinets, integrated appliances, minimal hardware, and large-format tile or stone countertops. This style suits the newer construction common throughout Kennewick and Richland, and it photographs beautifully for resale.
Transitional Kitchens
A blend of traditional and contemporary — shaker cabinets, mixed metal hardware, a combination of textures, and a color palette that leans neutral but isn’t cold. This is the most flexible style and works well across a range of Tri-Cities home types.
Warm and Earthy Kitchens
Warm white or greige cabinets, terracotta or zellige tile accents, wood shelving or floating shelves, natural stone. This approach has gained significant traction across Central Washington and tends to feel particularly livable in the Tri-Cities’ sun-heavy climate.
Why Hire D. Marie Interiors for Your Kennewick Kitchen Remodel?
A kitchen remodel has a lot of decision points. The average project involves 50+ individual finish and product selections. Without design direction, homeowners often end up with a collection of individually reasonable choices that don’t work together — or they over-invest in finishes that don’t match the scale of the project.
We bring structure to the process. You’ll know what you’re deciding, when, and why — and you’ll have a professional making sure the choices you make hold together as a cohesive design rather than a well-intentioned collection of purchases.
We also serve kitchen design clients in Kennewick who are earlier in the process and not yet ready for a full remodel — just looking for direction on a future project.
Serving Kennewick and the Tri-Cities
We work with kitchen remodel clients throughout Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco. We also serve Yakima, Ellensburg, and the full Central Washington region. For kitchen remodel clients in the Tri-Cities, we typically work remotely for preliminary design and come on-site for key decision-making milestones.
