Design Services for Orleans Homeowners

Orleans is ten minutes south of our North Eastham showroom, and it has been steady territory for us for three decades. We have designed kitchens and baths in East Orleans and out toward Nauset Beach, along Tonset Road and Barley Neck, near Rock Harbor and Skaket, and through the neighborhoods around Pleasant Bay and Namequoit.

Orleans has a higher share of substantial year-round homes than the towns north of it, and that changes the typical project. Where an Outer Cape job is often about making a small kitchen work harder, an Orleans job is more often about reorganizing a large one: taking down the wall between a closed kitchen and a dining room, working out how an island functions once the room is open, and figuring out where the second sink, the beverage refrigerator, and the landing zone by the back door actually belong.

Because so many Orleans houses are used year-round, the design brief tends to be practical: real pantry storage, a mudroom or drop zone that works in February, appliance capacity for holidays, and a primary bath that functions every day rather than just looking good. We produce a scaled plan, elevations, and 3D renderings so you can test all of that before ordering.

What Our Orleans Design Service Includes

Kitchen Design

Scaled floor plans, elevations, and a full cabinet specification. Work triangle, storage, appliance placement, and clearances are all resolved on paper before anything is ordered.

Bathroom Design

Powder rooms through primary baths. Vanity sizing, fixture layout, tile plans, lighting, and ventilation, drawn to the room you actually have.

Cabinet Selection

U.S. Cabinet Depot, Forevermark, and Versiniti custom cabinetry on display at our North Eastham showroom, so you can open a real drawer before you commit.

3D Renderings

Photo-style renderings of the approved plan. Most Orleans clients change at least one thing after seeing them, which is exactly the point.

Countertop & Finish Planning

Granite, quartz, and Corian selections coordinated with cabinet finish, hardware, backsplash, and flooring so the whole room reads as one decision.

Design Through Construction

We are a licensed contractor as well as a design office, so the plans can be handed to our own crew or to yours without a translation step.

Design Considerations for Orleans Homes

Opening Up Closed Floor Plans

Removing the wall between kitchen and dining is the most common Orleans request. We plan for the structural header, the ceiling transition, and where the mechanicals in that wall are going to go.

Island Planning That Works

An island is only useful if the walkways around it are right and the seating does not sit in the cook's path. We draw the clearances rather than assuming a standard island fits.

Year-Round Function

Orleans homes are lived in through the winter. Pantry capacity, a working drop zone by the back door, and laundry that is not an afterthought all belong in the plan.

Waterfront and Bayside Exposure

Homes near Nauset Beach, Rock Harbor, and Pleasant Bay take real weather. Finish and hardware selections are made with that exposure in mind.

Our Design Process

1

Consultation

A free visit to your home to talk through how you use the room, what is not working, and what the budget needs to be.

2

Measure & Survey

We take full field measurements, note where the plumbing, venting, and structure actually are, and photograph the existing conditions.

3

Layout & Concept

A scaled floor plan and elevations, usually with two or three options so you can compare how each one lives.

4

Selections

Cabinet line, door style, finish, countertop, hardware, and fixtures, chosen in the showroom against real samples.

5

3D Renderings

Renderings of the approved plan so you can see the finished room, then a final cabinet specification for ordering.

New This Season

Two things worth knowing about before you start planning a Orleans project this fall.

🍂 New for Fall 2026: Haven Sage Cabinets

Sage green has moved from accent island to full kitchen, and the Haven Sage line is now on display in our North Eastham showroom. It reads especially well in Cape houses with a lot of natural light and white trim, and it pairs cleanly with both honed quartz and warm wood floors. Worth seeing in person — greens are notoriously hard to judge from a photo.

🏡 Planning an ADU in Orleans?

Massachusetts now allows accessory dwelling units by right in single-family zoning districts, and Cape Cod towns are seeing steady interest. Our sister company, Lower Cape ADU, handles the design and construction of the unit itself. We design and build the kitchen and bath that go in it — which, in a footprint that small, is most of the project.

Orleans Design Questions We Get Asked

Can you tell me if a wall in my Orleans kitchen can come out?

We evaluate that during the design phase. Whether the wall is load-bearing determines the header size and the ceiling detail, and it needs to be settled before the layout is finalized, not during demolition.

How big should my island be?

It depends on the walkways around it, not on the island itself. We draw the clearances first and size the island to what is left, which usually produces a more usable kitchen than starting with a target dimension.

Do you design bathrooms as well as kitchens in Orleans?

Yes, and often together. Primary baths, guest baths, and powder rooms all get the same measured plans, elevations, and vanity specifications as a kitchen project.
