Katherine presented Duke Renders with a distinctive vision – the metamorphosis of a kitchen space.

Deconstructing a Kitchen Makeover

This project, much like a typical kitchen makeover, involved updating surfaces and upgrading appliances. While the cabinets remained in place, both the countertop and flooring underwent replacement. The locations of appliances remained unchanged, as did the essential utilities—plumbing and electrical. The process initiated with cabinet refurbishment and concluded with the appliances.

Here's a breakdown of the key renovations:

  • Cabinets: The cabinets underwent an extensive makeover, involving emptying, cleaning, and painting. Doors, drawers, and hardware pieces were removed for individual painting. The refurbishment included refacing cabinet boxes and replacing cabinet doors, along with updating cabinet hardware.


  • Walls and Ceiling: Surfaces of walls and ceilings were scrubbed and painted. Replacement of old light fixtures followed the completion of painting and cabinet work.


  • Countertop and Sink: The countertop was replaced, accompanied by the installation of a new sink or faucet.

  • Appliances and Flooring: Major kitchen appliances were fitted into cabinet and/or countertop spaces after the countertop replacement. The kitchen flooring extended beneath the appliances.


  • Finishing Touches: The final touches included elements like switch plates, under-cabinet fixtures, towel bars, and window treatments. Backsplash tiles and other wall treatments were installed following the completion of cabinets and countertop work, as these finishes are typically custom-fitted into the backsplash space.

The Design Brief

Katherine's directive was clear: fashion a cozy new kitchen. Duke Renders encountered the challenge of crafting a 3D rendering impeccably aligned with Katherine's vision.

Constructive Feedback

The iterative process involved feedback loops, refining details such as cabinets, walls, ceiling, countertop, sink, appliances, flooring, and finishing touches. The outcome was a visual representation that transcended expectations.

The Evolution of Clays and Previews

The shift from clay renders to previews marked the evolution of the project, with refined color schemes and accurate material representations truly bringing Katherine's vision to life.

Collaboration Impact

The collaboration unfolded the magic of 3D rendering,  transforming conceptual designs into tangible previews. The seamless design journey was facilitated by experimenting with various design elements and promptly receiving feedback, adding to the enchantment of the creative process.
