16 Years
experience
We guide customers through an organized design experience that starts with measuring their existing kitchens during home visits. Using these measurements, we prepare computer-generated concepts that can be reviewed and modified before moving into detailed specifications for cabinets, appliances, flooring, and related components. Our offices feature cabinet displays beneath glass countertops, allowing homeowners to examine construction methods and explore extensive selections of finishes and doors. Three-dimensional renderings help customers visualize proposed renovations before making final decisions. From compact kitchens requiring better space utilization to larger projects involving islands, peninsulas, and complete cabinetry replacements, we develop designs that balance everyday practicality with attractive presentation. Our approach emphasizes expert consultation, transparent cabinet comparisons, and careful attention to individual renovation goals.

Kitchen Design
By eliminating the expenses associated with conventional kitchen showrooms, we offer customers improved designs and well-made cabinetry at attractive prices. Our office presents eight cabinet brands with their available door styles and finishes. Following a small deposit, we spend approximately eight hours measuring and developing preliminary kitchen plans. This efficient approach allows us to prioritize professional service and detailed design work.
Cabinet Sales
We offer an extensive selection of affordable, well-constructed cabinets from eight brands distributed nationwide. Whether customers prefer custom or semi-custom cabinetry, our range includes framed and frameless designs with numerous wood and finish options. All selections incorporate solid wood dovetail drawers and buffered soft-close tracks. Each cabinet purchase also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Countertop Brands
We offer countertop solutions featuring quartz, hybrid mineral compositions, and versatile solid surface options. Customers can select from products manufactured by Cambria, Silestone, Viatera, Colorquartz, MSI, Corian, and Wilsonart. Our extensive assortment accommodates different design preferences through varied textures, colors, and patterns. We emphasize surfaces that balance attractive appearances, dependable durability, and practical daily upkeep.
Kitchen Design Process
Creating a functional, carefully planned kitchen is central to our design approach. We begin with a complimentary consultation before scheduling an in-home measurement for a $150 deposit. Our designers prepare and refine detailed 3D plans while helping you consider cabinetry, countertops, and hardware. Deposits are applied toward your cabinetry purchase, with additional documentation available.

The Designers were very patient during the entire process. Making such a big decision can be difficult. With so many styles and colors available , they took the time to help me envision my perfect kitchen. I love my kitchen!

Working with Jeremy from Main Line Kitchen Design has been an outstanding experience. As a general contractor at Harrington Contracting, I value precision, clear communication, and high-quality design. Jeremy consistently delivers on all fronts. His designs are not only aesthetically beautiful but also technically sound and well-thought-out, which makes our job on-site much smoother.
He is incredibly professional, responsive to questions, and truly understands the nuances of the installation process. I highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a top-tier kitchen designer.

I recently completed a full kitchen gut renovation for my first home, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Paul was our designer and his expertise made all the difference.
From the start, Paul took the time to understand how I wanted to use the space and what my desired aesthetic was and then translated that into a design that's both stunning and incredibly functional. This was no small feat for a first-time kitchen remodel where I didn't fully know what to even ask for. Every detail feels intentional, something that is essential for a small NYC kitchen.
What really stood out was how attentive Paul was throughout the entire process, patiently answering my (many) questions and guiding me through decisions I'd never had to make before (or even expected that I would need to make!). Even my contractor, who's done plenty of kitchen remodels, specifically complimented the quality of Paul's design.
If you're considering a kitchen renovation, whether as a seasoned homeowner or as a first-time homeowner, I can't recommend Paul and Main Line Kitchen Design enough. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish.

We were very happy with Main Line, especially their responsiveness to issues with the doors after the fact! One of our cabinet doors was warped and Chris Rossetti immediately swung by, determined it was covered under warranty and got a new one ordered. He even reordered it a second time after determining that the stain color was not satisfactory (I didn't even notice the difference until he pointed it out!)
We went with a more base-level product for our laundry room because we thought it was worth spending the 'big bucks' on custom inset cabinets in our kitchen, but the laundry room cabinets honestly have such a 'wow' factor and our experience with Main Line was much much better than with Village Handcrafted, where we got the kitchen cabinets. Quality is better and service is far superior.

I first met Paul about 15 years ago when he designed a complete kitchen remodel for my home in Narberth. From the very beginning, it was clear that he brought not only exceptional expertise to his work, but also an extraordinary level of dedication, thoughtfulness, and generosity. He genuinely cares about creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, and he pours himself into every project.
Over the years, I’ve hired Paul several more times. One of those projects was a very high-end kitchen in another home with a particularly challenging layout. Because the stakes felt so high, I consulted with several designers before making my decision. In the end, I knew I was going to choose Paul—and I’m so glad I did. His design was by far the strongest, and the finished kitchen exceeded every expectation I had. To this day, it’s one of my favorite spaces.
Most recently, Paul designed the kitchen for one of my rental properties, and once again, he absolutely knocked it out of the park. His guidance was invaluable. What I love about working with Paul is that he never thinks only about the kitchen. He naturally sees the whole home and generously shares ideas for improving every space, always balancing beauty, function, and value. His input consistently makes the entire house better.
Paul is one of those rare people whose talent is matched by his integrity, generosity, and commitment. His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to solve even the most challenging design problems are truly exceptional. I trust his judgment completely, and I can honestly say there is no one else I would want designing a kitchen for me. I recommend him with absolute confidence and enthusiasm.

Mainline kitchens stands alone. From beginning to end the whole process was seamless. I got 4 other estimates and Mainline kitchen was the most reasonable. Excellent cabinet choices and countertops. The contractor was punctual, dependable and his work is first class.

We are completely elated with our newly renovated kitchen. After filling out an online form Paul called the next day and explained the entire process. Of course, we chose to move forward. The initial contact with our designer Jeremy L went well and we soon saw 2 complete 3D renderings of what our kitchen could become. Jeremy proposed moving an existing door to maximize our space, and we were floored. The design, workmanship of the contractor and professionalism of the whole team was exceptional. Our new kitchen is phenomenal; it is a functional work of art. Mainline Kitchen Design are true artisans. My wife and I are eternally grateful for the care and experience of you all for helping our dreams become a reality., Thank you from, Mark and Rhonda!

The team at Main Line Kitchen Design is INCREDIBLE. This was my first major renovation project, and Chris was incredibly patient with me and helpful every step of the way. He didn't just design a beautiful kitchen, he also helped me hire a contractor, problem solved with us throughout the project, managed delivery and installation of our cabinets in person, and returned frequently to make sure everything was going as planned. I could not recommend him and this business more highly. Chris even came back to our home several months after the project finished to adjust a crooked cabinet door. Truly the most supportive and knowledgable people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Mainline Kitchen was great. We were stumped as to how to incorporate an island in our narrow space. Designer Doug
Mottershead figured out a great island that seats a lot of bodies. He also steered us to cabinets we could get quickly as we had a wedding coming up. He measured and ordered and provided guidance on some tricky construction details. It all worked out and would definitely use this company again.

Jeremy and Paul were both amazing to work with! In my initial contact, Paul explained the process clearly and provided really helpful information that made my decision to work with MLK. Jeremy gave great initial designs that stretched imagination. He was very professional and easy to work with as we iterated different options and materials. They set me up with an amazing contractor as well! Overall great experience! Would work with them again!

A Main Line Kitchen Design renovation has just been completed in my home and I couldn't be happier. Paul, Chris and Juliet were wonderful advisors. With Chris and Juliet's experience and design talent I was finally able to visualize how to make my small, inefficient kitchen beautiful and functional. I now have more storage space than I thought possible. Juliet listened to my wants and needs and nudged me towards selections she thought I would like. She coordinated all ordering, scheduling and installation which made the experience less stressful. The final result is fantastic. I would definitely recommend Main Line Kitchen Design.
