PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN DESIGN
IN THE QUAD CITIES

See your finished kitchen before we break ground, with 3D renderings that match the final result.

"The spaces we live in reflect how we feel about ourselves. We craft kitchens so that our clients can feel good about how and where they live. "

— Matt Vermillion, Owner & Designer, Riverbend Kitchens

WHY PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN DESIGN MATTERS

The Right Design Saves You Time, Money, & Regret

 

We do not give out kitchen designs for free. In order to truly tailor a space to your needs, we need to take the time to understand your pain points and taste. 
We don’t overwhelm you with 20 door styles, 70 finishes, and hundreds of accessories. We’ll learn your preferences through our design process. 

Kitchen designs start at $500 and include:
– Deep dive session into how you use your kitchen

-Thoughtfully curated options 
-Full color designs with explanations and recommendations
-Full dimensioned plan set 
-Specifications on materials selected.
-Lighting layout

Why do we charge for design?

Simple – because a thoughtfully planned, custom kitchen takes time. 

Riverbend’s design and cabinetry are for homeowners that want a thoughtfully planned, personalized kitchen before making a major investment in their home. 

Clarity Before You Purchase Cabinets

Our full-color 3D renderings show you exactly what your finished kitchen will look like. You’ll see the layout, materials, lighting, and finishes in realistic detail, so you can make confident decisions before we ever start construction.

Functional Layouts Tailored to You

We don’t use cookie-cutter designs. Every layout is customized based on how you cook, entertain, and use your space. From workflow zones to built-in storage solutions, we design kitchens that make your life easier.

Reimagining Your Layout

Great design starts with understanding what’s not working. We take your outdated, dysfunctional layout and transform it into a space that flows naturally, whether that means opening up walls, reconfiguring appliances, or maximizing storage.

See how we transformed a closed-off, cramped kitchen into an open, functional space perfect for cooking and entertaining.

Photorealistic 3D Renderings

Our 3D renderings aren’t just sketches; they’re full-color, photorealistic images that show exactly what your kitchen will look like. You’ll see the cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and finishes in realistic detail.

 

Past clients have told us the finished space matched the renderings exactly.

This is what confidence looks like. No guessing. No surprises. Just a clear vision of your new kitchen.

Mood Boards & Material Selections

During your showroom consultation, we’ll bring it all together by creating a custom mood board with your cabinetry, countertops, flooring, hardware, and backsplash selections. This hands-on approach lets you see how everything works together in real lighting—so you can make decisions with confidence.

 

Touch the materials. Compare the finishes. See the full picture before you commit.
