Kitchen Remodeling Design in Blossom Hill
Most homes in Blossom Hill went up in the 1970s as single-story ranch houses, built for young families in a growing part of San Jose. Fifty years later, a lot of those homes are still doing exactly that job, just for a different generation of kids running through them.
What hasn’t kept up is usually the kitchen. Closed off from the family room, cut off from the backyard, sized for a smaller, more formal way of cooking than how most families actually live today.
Kitchen Design Services helps Blossom Hill homeowners design a kitchen that fits how their family actually uses the space. We handle the layout, cabinetry, material selection, and photorealistic renderings, so you can see the finished kitchen before anything is built.
You bring your own contractor, or we can point you toward resources to find one. Either way, your contractor gets a clear, detailed plan to work from.
Designed for Blossom Hill’s Ranch-Style Homes
Blossom Hill’s single-story ranch layout was built around efficiency, not entertaining. Kitchens here tend to sit off to the side, walled off from the living and dining areas, with a back door leading out to a yard the kitchen barely acknowledges.
That’s the opportunity. A single-story home is one of the easier layouts to open up, since you’re not fighting a second floor’s structural load overhead. We look at how to connect your kitchen to the rest of the main living space, and how to bring the backyard into the picture instead of treating it as an afterthought.
For families near Martial Cottle Park who spend as much time outside as in, a kitchen that opens toward the patio or yard changes how the whole house gets used.

Posted on Google John ShaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really impressed with the kitchen design service creative ideas, smart use of space, and everything felt smooth and well-managed from start to finish. Loved how they turned my kitchen into a stylish and practical space. The whole process was easy, and the team was great to work with.Posted on Google Kevin JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I originally had hired a different kitchen designer, that gave me some concern with their suggestions. I called KDS and I knew within about 10 minutes that I had chosen someone that was very knowledgeable and could guide me to a successful outcome for my my kitchen remodel. Every step of the way, KDS helped me order my cabinets and all the other choices that go into a new design. I had my vision, but they had the experience and knowledge that ultimately made my kitchen turn out fantastic. I was super happy I went with KDS and recommend them without reservation.Posted on Google Michelle Luiken-KnutsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KDS made our dream kitchen into a reality. There are so many color and design choices that go into creating a new kitchen; Wall color, cabinet colors, quartzite choices, floor choices, hardware, sink, hood, backsplash, etc. It can be so overwhelming! Thankfully, Kevin guided us through it all. He has an amazing ability to narrow down to the very best choices and find the perfect color combinations. All of these choices worked out so well together. Our kitchen is truly a dream come true. It is STUNNING!!! There is no way we would have ended up with this absolutely amazing kitchen without Kevin. In addition to being beautiful, the magic of this kitchen is it's function and efficiency. I love to bake and wanted to have all of my baking supplies all along one side of my island. Kevin did a fantastic job listening to what I wanted and now when I bake everything is at my fingertips. It is such a pleasure! One of my favorite parts of the kitchen is something that Kevin added to the design: two dishwashers!! This was the moment I knew that Kevin really listened and understood how we use our kitchen. With all of the baking and dirty dishes, having 2 dishwashers makes such a huge difference. Thank you to Kevin and the entire staff at KDS for making our vision of a beautiful, functional kitchen into a reality.Posted on Google Mike ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company and wonderful people. We met with Karen Evenden and she was extremely helpful and listened to all our needs and delivered. She worked with us and our designer so well. I would easily use her again for anything cabinets, etc. Made the process easy and enjoyable.Posted on Google Susan AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate that my friend referred us to KDS, and most especially Ariana Fuller for our kitchen remodel. We cannot express enough how fantastic Ariana is in layout and design. Not only was Ariana focused in understanding our needs and vision, she provided much needed expertise in optimizing and maximizing our kitchen space. If we came across any obstacles in our project, Ariana was quick to provide alternatives or solutions. Look no further if you need a kitchen designer... Ariana Fuller is the one for you!Posted on Google Lea Ann HutterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Kevin and KDS for the expert design and installation our beautiful brand new kitchen and bathroom cabinets! Working with Kevin was a total pleasure from start to finish. His recommendations on quality materials, design and functionality are excellent, especially in details such as including a vertical space for easy storage of cutting boards and a handy pull out drawer for stacking dishes and bowls. In addition, Kevin came to my home after installation to adjust a drawer that felt a bit hard to pull out and showed me how to adjust it myself for future reference. Whenever I have a friend that's looking into a kitchen remodel, I always tell them to talk to Kevin.Posted on Google Tracy H.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working with Kitchen Design Services from start to finish. I had no idea where to begin. Kevin told me what steps to take and when I was ready, connected me with Ariana. I showed Ariana a stack of pictures of kitchens and features that we liked. She took all of our ideas and came back with a plan. I remember her saying with such enthusiasm, "I am so excited to show you what I have come up with and can't wait to hear what you think." Well, her vision, which became our vision, was so much better than anything we had thought of. One of our favorite parts is the butler's pantry, which we didn't even ask for. By moving things around, she created the most amazing pantry, complete with a floor to ceiling ladder. My husband calls it our "safe room". When family and friends come over now, no one understands how our kitchen looks bigger than it did before, and we have an added butler's pantry. We all agree that Ariana's design is how our kitchen was always meant to be.Posted on Google Christina ManginTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just completed a 5 month kitchen remodel. Our contractor recommended Ariana with KDS. And we hit the jackpot with her. Her services are well worth the money. She worked on the project from start to finish. Her eye for detail is unmatched. Our kitchen would not have have turned out so amazing without Ariana. Don’t hesitate, don’t think twice just hire her.Posted on Google Daniel WorledgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kitchen Design Services did an outstanding job of designing our new kitchen. Every detail was planned out carefully ahead of time. My KDS designer went with me to many different showrooms to help me pick out tile, countertop slabs, and paint, and coordinate all of the colors. They had a great sense of style and were very knowledgeable about kitchen design. KDS had a great selection of cabinets— I love the DuraSupreme cabinets we got. I received lots of personal attention, never felt rushed, and all of my never-ending questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. It was a real pleasure working with KDS— I highly recommend them! Our kitchen turned out to be absolutely fabulous!Posted on Google Sandeep KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently built a new home, and one of the areas we receive the most compliments on is our kitchen and surrounding space. We owe much of that to Ariana and Kevin at KDS Kitchens. Ariana worked closely with us to design the kitchen and helped us navigate the selection of cabinet manufacturers. Although this process took some time, Ariana and Kevin made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Ariana's patience and attention to detail were exceptional. She offered countless suggestions to optimize both the functionality and aesthetic of the space, and the final result is stunning. What really impressed us, though, was the after-sales support. Ariana and Kevin worked with the manufacturer to address a couple of minor issues, ensuring that we were completely satisfied with the finished product. We highly recommend KDS Kitchens for their outstanding service and dedication.

FAQs
Do you handle the actual construction, or just the design?
Design only. You’ll get a full plan, renderings, and cabinetry selections, then a contractor takes it from there. If you don’t have one lined up yet, we can point you in the right direction.
Can I use my own contractor?
Absolutely, and most homeowners already do. We build the design around your contractor’s specs so there’s nothing to guess at once construction starts.
How long does the design process take?
Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from your first consultation to a finished, contractor-ready design. Bigger layout changes can push that closer to 8 weeks.
What does a kitchen design project typically cost?
Our design packages start at $2,400, which covers consultation, the space plan, renderings, and two rounds of revisions on up to two design directions. If the project spills into a nearby room, that starts at $3,200. Cabinetry and finishes are quoted separately once you’ve picked what you want.
Do you design for single-story ranch homes like the ones in Blossom Hill?
Yes, it’s a layout we work with often in this part of San Jose. Single-story homes are usually easier to open up since there’s no upper floor to work around structurally, which gives us more flexibility to connect the kitchen to the rest of the house.
Do you serve neighborhoods near Blossom Hill too?
We work with homeowners across San Jose and the wider Bay Area, so Cambrian, Santa Teresa, and Almaden Valley are all well within reach too.
Do you offer remote design for Blossom Hill homeowners?
We do. Plenty of busy families prefer it. Same process, same level of detail, just handled over video calls and digital renderings instead of in person.
