“Beautiful homes don’t happen by accident. They’re designed. Every project starts with a plan — here’s what Central Illinois homeowners ask us most before they start.”
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
A custom kitchen remodel in Peoria typically ranges from $25,000 to over $75,000, depending on the room size, structural changes, and your choice of cabinetry and surfaces. At KBL Design Center, we work closely with you to maximize your budget and avoid costly mistakes. Explore our kitchen design process or visit our Peoria showroom to start planning.
Anyone can sell you cabinets. Working with a KBL designer is a step-by-step, collaborative process — from initial layout ideas to final material selections — where we handle the sourcing and coordinating so your finished kitchen looks like one connected room, not a collection of separate purchases. Ready to start? Get started with us today.
A typical bathroom renovation takes anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks for construction, though the planning and material ordering phase happens beforehand. Because we simplify product selection under one roof, we help keep your project tightly on schedule. Contact KBL Design Center to map out your specific renovation timeline.
KBL Design Center is a full-service kitchen and bath design center supplying top-tier cabinetry, lighting, and surfaces — not just a showroom that sells you products and sends you elsewhere to figure out the rest. We love collaborating with your preferred builder or contractor, and if you don’t have one yet, we can recommend trusted Trade-Pro partners in Central Illinois to complete your installation.
Cabinetry & Countertops FAQs
Quartz is widely considered the most durable countertop material for high-traffic kitchens because it is non-porous, highly stain-resistant, and never requires sealing. We carry premium surfaces like Cambria quartz that offer the beautiful look of natural stone with zero maintenance. Stop by our showroom to see and feel our material samples!
Stock cabinets come in fixed, pre-made sizes, while semi-custom options allow for minor adjustments, and custom cabinets are built entirely from scratch to fit your exact room dimensions and style. At KBL Design Center, we feature incredible lines like Omega Cabinetry to give you the perfect balance of fit, function, and luxury.
It depends on what you need. A general contractor manages construction and labor, while a design center like KBL focuses on the plan itself — how your cabinets, countertops, tile, lighting, and fixtures work together. Many homeowners use both: KBL for design and product selection, and a contractor for the build. If you already have a contractor, we’re glad to work alongside them; if you don’t, we can recommend one from our network.
Lighting & Showroom FAQs
KBL Design Center is Central Illinois’ premier destination for custom home lighting, featuring an extensive showroom of ceiling fans, chandeliers, and exterior fixtures. We don’t just sell fixtures; our team helps you map out a complete home lighting plan. Come visit us in Peoria to see our latest collections.
An independent kitchen and bath designer can plan your space, but you’re often left sourcing, comparing, and coordinating every product yourself from multiple vendors. Anyone can sell you cabinets — KBL combines design expertise with a full showroom of cabinetry, countertops, tile, and lighting, so your plan and your purchases stay connected under one roof.
No appointment is necessary to browse our extensive showroom in Peoria, and walk-ins are always welcome during regular hours! However, if you would like to sit down one-on-one with a designer to plan a specific kitchen or bath project, we highly recommend scheduling a consultation ahead of time.
