Kitchen design elevation by Habitual Homes in Toronto: range wall with hood, open shelves and painted cabinets

Sound familiar?

A kitchen is too expensive to get wrong

You’ve saved the photos. You know what you like. What you don’t know is if it works in your kitchen: the layout, the space around the island, the finishes together. And once the cabinets are in and the stone is cut, there’s no going back.

You don’t need more ideas. You need a plan.

Sandra Raven and Johanna Serrano, co-founders of Habitual Homes

Who designs it

We design kitchens we know how to build

Custom cabinet design is what we do best. Because we also build kitchens in Toronto, we design what can actually be built: around your walls, your plumbing, your storage and your budget. Sandra and Johanna trained in architecture in Venezuela and have built in three countries.

  • Will the layout work? Walkways, island, appliances and storage, planned around how you cook.
  • Will it all look good together? Cabinets, counters, backsplash, hardware and paint chosen together.

Had such a great experience with Habitual Homes. The deadline and budget were respected, they kept the house clean and protected the areas they weren’t working in and above all, are real perfectionists. Really recommend them if you have works to do in your house!

Great team of professionals. They delivered exceptional work and you can tell they really care - their approach is centered on making the client happy, not just finishing a “job”.

Sandra, Johanna, and her team truly brought our vision for our living room media wall to life. Going through a whole house renovation, we were looking for something super modern and contemporary but not boring, and these guys really came through. From start to finish, Sandra’s communication has been incredibly prompt and very helpful when questions arose. They were also open to additional modifications to the project or custom requests like an extension of the slats, more lighting elements, and handle-free cabinet doors. Something else that also truly shined about their work was their ability to match a very very similar shade of walnut wood finish from our kitchen cabinets. It turned out better than expected and the aesthetic and continuity they’ve brought to our house is chefs kiss to say the least. Their work is a true statement piece for our house and I’m sure it will be for all their future clients as well. Once you see the work, the pricing makes sense, it’s all worth it when you see the final product. Great job Sandra, Johanna, and team. If I ever need this kind of work done, I’ll know exactly who to call. Easy five stars from me

We had a wonderful experience hiring Habitual Homes for our powder room project. They seamlessly helped our vision come to life, provided renderings ahead of time and worked diligently to complete the job on time. We will definitely be working with them in the future and recommending them to friends!

Sandra and Johanna provides a professional service for home improvements and designs. They have lots of ideas. I got my bedroom and family room popcorn ceiling removed, painted, baseboards and crown moulding added in these two rooms. Johanna spends lots of time protecting your area and cleans the place every day before done for the day. I have never heard of rooms actually mopped after work is done. Johanna literally looks for imperfections on the walls and ceilings using headlamp. She is just amazing. I am attaching the picture of the room they left after painting and removing popcorn from ceiling. Keep up the good work ladies. It was an amazing experience working with you. Every dollar spent was worth it. Looking forward to the next project of living room and fireplace renovation. P.S: I removed the electrical outlet cover for replacement.

I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to Habitual Homes – Sandra and Johanna – for the amazing work they’ve done on my new home. I had a vision, and they brought it to life, executing every detail of the design exactly as I had imagined. They presented me with renderings that showcased the layout and design, allowing me to see how my furniture would look in the space. Despite encountering some challenges, including a car accident, they remained professional and finished the project on schedule, delivering outstanding results. I am truly delighted with how they transformed my new place into my own personal sanctuary. Thank you again, Sandra and Johanna, for your incredible work! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

This was my first time working with Habitual Homes. Sandra and Johanna built a wall unit in my condo, and they made the process very easy. They were responsive and accommodating, and sent the design very quickly when I first contacted them. They understood the concept I had in mind, and brought it to life even better than I had imagined. In the initial consultation, they came over to see the space and brought options so I could choose among various colours, patterns and materials. They also provided great advice based on what they thought would work best for my place. They had great attention to the detail, prepped the place before, and cleaned afterwards. They exceeded my expectations and i’m thrilled with the final results!

Johanna helped us with a few projects around our first house. I must say I really admire her work ethic! She did such a great job and got the projects done within the timeline given! Sandra’s design expertise were really helpful too. Thank you both!

Build your kitchen once, and do it right

Without a plan

  • The island looked fine in the showroom, not in your kitchen
  • Quotes you can’t compare
  • Finishes that clash once they’re in

With a plan

  • You know the layout works before you order cabinets
  • Every quote is for the same kitchen
  • Cabinets, counters and backsplash chosen together

Questions

Before you start

How much does kitchen design cost in Toronto?

A plan for one kitchen is $2,000 + HST in Toronto and the GTA, or $1,600 + HST remote. A kitchen and a bathroom together are $3,200 + HST ($2,500 remote). See pricing

What’s included in a kitchen design plan?

Site visits (or your video, if remote), 2D plans, 3D views, a lighting layout, cabinet details, selections of finishes and fixtures, a scope of work and an estimated budget. Up to 3 rounds of changes.

A kitchen company already gave me a design. Can you review it?

Yes. Book a Design Session: Sandra looks at the design and your kitchen, and tells you what works and what to change before you sign. If you only need colours, see our Colour Consultation.

Why do I pay for a design before I get a quote?

Because without a design, every quote is a guess. The plan tells every contractor exactly what to price, so the quotes you get are for the same kitchen. And the plan is yours: build it with us, or with any contractor.

Does my kitchen need a permit?

Usually not if the layout stays the same. If you move plumbing or gas, or open a wall, you also need permit drawings, which are a separate step we also do.

How long does kitchen design take?

2 weeks to 2 months.

Do you design kitchens outside Toronto?

Yes, remotely. You measure with our guide and send us a video of your space. See remote plans

Know your kitchen works before you build it.

One plan with your layout, your finishes and your number.
