Kitchen and Bath Studios

What Kitchen and Bath Studios does

Kitchen and Bath Studios Inc. is a privately held, founder-operated kitchen and bathroom design and remodeling firm headquartered in a single showroom at 7001 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland. Founded in 1993, the company serves luxury homeowners, architects, interior designers, builders, and contractors across the Washington DC metropolitan area, including Montgomery County, Anne Arundel County, and Northern Virginia. It positions itself as a full-service design center combining professional consultation, custom cabinetry specification, countertop sourcing, and certified installer recommendations.

The company's core product is custom and semi-custom cabinetry drawn from five manufacturer partnerships — Christiana Cabinetry, Crystal Cabinet Works, Signature Custom Cabinetry, Executive Cabinetry, and Designers Choice — supplemented by an eco-friendly cabinetry line carrying KCMA Environmental Stewardship Program certifications. Designers use proprietary kitchen design software to produce large-format drawings and make real-time layout adjustments during client consultations. Offerings include over 400 sample door styles, countertop materials from brands such as Silestone, Cambria, and Caesarstone, and certified installer referrals for project execution.

Kitchen and Bath Studios operates a showroom-led, high-touch sales model. Initial design consultations are offered at no charge, with design fees applied only if the client proceeds. Revenue is generated through one-time cabinetry sales, design service fees, countertop material sales, and installation referrals. Demand is driven by a mix of direct showroom traffic and a professional referral network of architects, builders, and interior designers. The firm holds an A+ BBB rating and has earned recurring features in Washingtonian Magazine, Home & Design, and Bethesda Magazine. The company is small (11–50 employees including five named designers) and is independently owned with no disclosed institutional funding.
