Kitchen Design & Planning in Montréal

Most kitchen regrets are not about the colour of the cabinets. They are about a fridge door that blocks a walkway, a corner no one can reach, or an island that looks great but leaves no room to open the dishwasher. Good planning is what prevents all of that, and it is cheaper to fix a layout on paper than after the cabinets are built. As kitchen designers in Montréal, we spend the planning stage getting those decisions right before anyone orders a single box. At Limakdéco, that work starts with a free consultation, for homes across Montréal and Saint-Laurent.

Your free design consultation

The first meeting is about you, not a sales pitch. We talk through how you cook, who is in the kitchen at once, what you store, and what frustrates you about the current space. We look at the room, take rough measurements, and discuss a realistic budget early, because there is no point designing a kitchen you do not want to pay for. You leave with a clear sense of what is possible and what it will take, at no cost.

Planning layout, storage, and flow

A kitchen has to work as a sequence, not just look good in a photo. We plan around the work triangle, the path between the sink, the stove, and the fridge, so the three busiest points stay close without crowding each other. Storage gets the same attention: deep drawers for pots, a spot for the recycling, a pantry that actually holds a week of groceries. In older Montréal homes, the layout also has to respect what the building gives us, a radiator, a load-bearing wall, a window we are not going to move. The goal is a kitchen that feels obvious to use.

Seeing it in 3D before you commit

Floor plans are hard to read if you do not do it for a living. That is why we show your kitchen in 3D before anything is built. You see the real proportions, the cabinet heights, the colour of the doors against the floor, the way the island sits in the room. It is much easier to move a cabinet or change a finish on screen than to live with a choice you were not sure about. Most changes happen here, which is exactly where they should.

From design to build

Once the design is approved, the plan moves to fabrication, and the same team carries it through. The drawings we agreed on become the cabinets we build and the counters we cut, with nothing lost in a handoff to a third party. If you want to see how those later stages work, read our guides to custom kitchen cabinets in Montréal and our kitchen installation process. Planning and building under one roof is what keeps the finished kitchen true to the design.

You work with the same designers from the first sketch to the final install.

Frequently asked questions

Is the design consultation free?

Yes. The first consultation is free, with no obligation. We use it to understand your kitchen, look at the space, and talk budget, so you can decide whether to move forward with a clear picture.

Do you provide 3D drawings?

Yes. We show your kitchen in 3D before fabrication, so you can see the layout, finishes, and proportions and make changes while they are still easy to make.

How early should I start planning?

Sooner than most people think. Custom cabinets and stone counters take weeks to build, so starting the design six to ten weeks before you want the kitchen installed gives you room to choose well without rushing. If you are renovating more than the kitchen, start earlier.
