Artistic Kitchen Cabinets & Design

Artistic Kitchen Cabinets & Design operates a showroom and cabinet design service out of Mountain View. The business focuses on custom cabinetry and kitchen remodeling across the Bay Area. Designers meet customers at the start of projects and stay involved through final installation. They stock options from brands including DOCA, Wood-Mode, and Crystal, and they cover kitchen islands, vanities, and full layouts for homes.

Reviewers describe jobs that include kitchen and bar remodels, butler pantries, and bathroom vanities. Designers such as Julie and Kristin solved layout problems with custom pieces, matched metallic finishes and two-tone styles, and sourced hard-to-find countertops. Mike handled on-site measurements and renderings for kitchen and laundry spaces. Customers noted solutions for irregular rooms and eco-friendly cabinet choices that fit daily use.

The team responds to questions throughout the process and tracks spending closely at each step. Designers return to sites for final checks before orders go in and coordinate deliveries so cabinets arrive when construction is ready. People visit the Mountain View showroom to view displays and discuss styles. Service covers the Bay Area with direct work from the same designer on each project.

Feedback highlights the same designers by name for clear communication and finished spaces that match the original plans. Reviewers mention attention to function, timely ordering, and cabinets that fit existing plumbing and electrical runs. Google lists a top rating even though no reviews appear there yet.

“We had an excellent experience working with Artistic Kitchen on our kitchen and bar remodel. Their team was knowledgeable, accommodating, and incredibly detail-oriented. We worked closely with Kristin on the design of both our kitchen and bar area, and she was outstanding. She took the time to understand our aesthetic and brought a thoughtful, creative approach to every aspect of the project. We had some unique layout challenges, which Kristin helped solve with custom solutions that elevated both the design and functionality of the spaces. Karen was also incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to help us source a countertop material that was difficult to find, ensuring we ended up with exactly the look we wanted. Artistic Kitchen offered an excellent selection of materials and provided valuable guidance in helping us make the best choices. Everyone was easy to work with, responsive, and committed to getting the details right. We couldn't be happier with the design, functionality, and overall outcome of our kitchen and bar. We highly recommend Artistic Kitchen and would absolutely work with them again.”

“Outstanding Experience with Artistic Kitchen and Julie! I had an exceptional experience working with Artistic Kitchen and specifically with our designer, Julie. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and highly responsive to every question and request we had. Julie’s design skills are truly top-notch. She demonstrated amazing attention to detail and maintained great communication throughout the entire process, making sure to carefully listen and incorporate all of my specific needs into the layout. She helped bring our exact vision to life, perfectly balancing the modern two-tone look of the white upper cabinets and wood-toned lower cabinets, and ensuring the design seamless incorporates with the appliances, countertop, floor and rest of the home. The Crystal cabinets themselves are absolutely gorgeous. The craftsmanship and quality are outstanding, both in how beautiful they look and how solid they feel in our new space. If you are looking for high-quality cabinetry and a designer who truly listens and executes flawlessly, I cannot recommend Julie and Artistic Kitchen enough!”

“Working with Julie was an absolute dream. This was a big renovation project with a huge wish list, . Our plan had a main kitchen and butler’s pantry which Julie designed seamlessly ensuring the entire footprint tied together beautifully. Her design skills are incredible; she didn't just make a huge space functional, she turned it into a stunning masterpiece. What truly sets Julie apart is her commitment to the client's peace of mind. Despite the massive size, extra pantry coordination, and many moving parts of the project, she kept a very close watch on our price point and budget. At every stage of designing, she has patiently helped us deciding on the best option. We got premium results without going overboard with our budget. Furthermore, she consistently went out of her way to accommodate changes whenever I had a new idea or request. Her patience, expertise, and dedication made a potentially overwhelming project completely stress-free. I finally have my dream kitchen, all thanks to Julie!”

“It was a wonderful experience working with Julie. From the start of the project, Julie listened to my priorities and concern and gave wonderful suggestions to meet my needs. She heard my need for a more eco friendly cabinets and suggested a brand that totally met my family's needs. I fell in love with the metallic color she showed me at the showroom - metallic champagne. It was so beautiful the first time I saw that and we had to have that for our kitchen. The final touch: cabinet pulls for my kitchen cabinets. Her suggestion was superb - a perfect match. Along the way of my remodeling, Julie came out to double check with the final measurements before ordering. Last but not least, remodeling comes with surprises, of course! We had to change the orientation of our kitchen island at the last minute. Julie went with the flow and made sure our order is still ok with the new orientation. We were also able to add an additional utility cabinet to our kitchen as a separate order. Now remodeling is done, we adore our kitchen. It is so gorgeous! We love our kitchen and it's the most beautiful place in our house. It was a pleasure to work with Julie.”

“I worked with Julie on designing cabinets using the Crystal Cabinetry company. Julie is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to functionality and the overall use of cabinetry. She was by far one of the strongest people on my team throughout the process. We also really liked Crystal as a brand—they are a strong mid-priced cabinet company that offers great quality. A few pieces of advice based on my experience: Order cabinets once construction begins. Measurements can change once work starts, and if construction runs late (which it often does), there can be storage fees for holding the cabinets. Inspect all cabinets immediately upon arrival. Crystal provides a 30–45 day guarantee on their merchandise. If something is damaged and you discover it outside that window, you may have to pay for replacement materials and deal with additional time delays. Be clear about how much design iteration you want. Additional revisions beyond the initial design may incur extra fees. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Julie (as I already have) to anyone. She is exceptionally good at what she does—a true gem.”

“We were stuck not finding the right company to design our kitchen cabinets for a full remodel. Thankfully we discovered Artistic Kitchen that provided us with great service and gorgeous cabinets. The designer, Kristin, met with us multiple times to discuss our overall kitchen concept and our choices for the cabinets. She offered a wide selection of style and wood possibilities as well as drawer configurations that nicely fit our cooking habits. Then Kristin designed the cabinets to fit our space. Her eye for detail is thorough, and we were very happy with how she made it all come together. Kristin did a masterful job for us, and she is also friendly and easy to work with. After we had been unsuccessful finding the right countertop, another associate, Karen, recommended one that is perfect. We were extremely satisfied with the whole team at Artistic Kitchen!”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Julie on my kitchen cabinet design. She provided great attention and care throughout the entire process, ensuring every detail was perfect. Even when we encountered a minor finish variation with the island panels, Julie handled the replacement process seamlessly and kept me updated every step of the way. I am thrilled with how the cabinetry and the overall kitchen turned out. I highly recommend Julie for her professionalism and expertise!”

“I went to several different kitchen places and emailed so many vendors as well. (I like to do my research.) Well, let me tell you about Julie Binik at Artistic Kitchen Design... she is A-MAZING!!!! She is not only delightful, professional and kind, but she really guided us to make better decisions on the function. Her expertise was CRITICAL and she's great at her job. I absolutely love love love my kitchen and my Crystal Cabinets. And I can't recommend them enough. Go visit Julie!”

“I’m absolutely delighted with my new kitchen cabinets from Artistic Kitchen and DOCA! My experience working with Julie was nothing short of exceptional. She is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to understand my needs and preferences while offering expert advice without any pressure. Her great sense of style was invaluable, especially when choosing high-end kitchen cabinets. Julie expertly guided me through the entire process of designing my kitchen cabinets, and the range of styles, materials, and finishes offered by the store made it easy to find the perfect match for my vision. The DOCA cabinets are outstanding — solid construction, beautiful craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail make them truly stand out. The delivery was right on schedule, and the staff who assisted were professional, efficient, and respectful of our home, ensuring everything was installed to perfection. The result is a stunning, functional kitchen that I absolutely love! If you’re in the market for top-quality kitchen cabinets and exceptional customer service, Artistic Kitchen is the place to go. I highly recommend them. Five stars all the way! 🌟”

“Choosing Artistic Kitchen and designer Julie to design our kitchen cabinets is one of the best decisions we made for our home remodeling project. Julie is professional. She knows the cabinet brands they carried very well. She has a great taste on choosing the color and style. She pays extra attention to the details. The kitchen island, every cabinet and appliance were perfectly placed in the room. Julie is responsive. She always listens to our need first and consumes it well. When we had hard time making a decision, she helped us figuring out the right solution. From designing to installation, we could fully count on Julie to address our questions and concerns. The whole team of Artistic Kitchen is also easy to work with and very helpful. We were always welcomed in the showroom. The process is well communicated at every stage from cabinet design to delivery. If there is any future opportunity, we would still go with Artistic Kitchen and recommend it to all our friends!!”

“My friend had Julie deign their kitchen and referred her to me. It was a great referral as I enjoyed working with her. On top of her experience and expertise, Julie was always warm and caring. We went with Pedini and have been very pleased with the result and quality. Julie’s design was amazing; she also gave me other interior design advice and tips. I would work with Julie again with no hesitation. Highly recommended!”

“I visited their showroom while gathering ideas for my kitchen remodel. Although I didn't hire them because I decided to take on the project as a DIY, they were incredibly accommodating. The staff generously shared valuable advice and even recommended some local designers for my paint color consultations. The displays in their showroom are absolutely beautiful and offer great inspiration!”

“I recently collaborated with Kristin McRae on my kitchen cabinet design. I am probably one of the most difficult clients because my requirements are not typical: - Schedule: I wanted my cabinets delivered in 3 months, right before Thanksgiving. - Precision: The cabinet design should be error-free to save time during install. They must fit into existing plumbing and electrical. - Style: I need a designer who can understand my aesthetics and overall vision for the design. You can see from the pictures that my cabinets are not typical ones that are trending on Pinterest. I want the design to be artistically balanced, personalized to my taste and decor, timeless, and have vintage vibes. - Cost: I need a designer who can understand trade-offs between cost and functionality. I know my kitchen and how to use it. I don't need fancy features. For example, I made a conscious decision NOT to include 2 Lazy Susans that not only impacted the aesthetic of the overall design but also increased cost and appeared to be useless for my application (my kitchen is big. I don't need optimize every little space.). Instead I added 6 big drawers as focal points. They provide plenty of useful space. - Pra”

“I came to Artistic Kitchen Design with my husband and we did not know what to expect. But we knew we needed help. Mike came out to our home, took a bunch of measurements, and produced a rendering design of what will become our new kitchen and laundry room. Mike sent us on our way to select appliances. We came back with our appliance specs and Mike began the process of completing the design based on the cabinets that we selected. Our selection of cabinets was based on how Mike saw our lifestyle and how we planned to use our future kitchen. The cabinets and appliances showed up and the work started. Mike was on-site to take delivery of the cabinets. We took our kitchen back to the studs and replaced everything. Mike was available to answer any questions our contractor had as they began to install the cabinetry. The contractor was extremely impressed with Mike’s measurements being spot on. The contractor followed the measurements that Mike indicated in the drawings. We are so pleased with our end product and love our new kitchen. We had no idea that our old kitchen space was as large as it was to accommodate a 9 foot island. Mike had a vision that we did not see at the beginning of th”

“I had a great experience with Artistic Kitchen and Design. Beautiful layout, plans, delivery and follow-up. Everything went so beautifully. Mike is terrific and has wonderful eye. Thank you Mike, Christine and the entire Artistic Kitchen team. Would use them again.”

“Kristin has been amazing through the whole process. She gave professional advices on the kitchen design and have everything ordered and delivered on time. We’re lucky to have her as our designer!”

“I absolutely loved working with Julie at Artistic Kitchen on our kitchen project. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to make our project happen. What I admire most about her is her ability to work around any problems and come up with even better solutions. Her attention to detail was key to making our kitchen look unique, beautiful, and functional. Going through a remodel is no easy task for anyone, but Julie made my experience a lot lighter by taking care of our kitchen. I felt at ease knowing that she was looking out for us and had our best interests in mind. Artistic Kitchen has a variety of products to choose from and in different budget ranges, but the value that Julie provides is invaluable! Will always recommend her to any of our friends and family who are going through a remodel, and I hope we are lucky enough to work with her again.”

“I would highly recommend Artistic Kitchen. They helped redesign our kitchen layout and gave great advice on usage of space, cabinetry and appliances. Everyone was very professional and gave quick responses when there was a question or concern. They made the experience less stressful and we just love our new kitchen. Thank you Karmela, Haiyi and Ala.”

“I cannot rave enough about Artistic Kitchen, especially Julie Binik, our kitchen designer! Everyone we interacted with at AK was responsive and professional, and Julie went above and beyond. We were looking to replace existing kitchen cabinets and were most inspired by the displays in the AK showroom than by other local vendors. Julie patiently collaborated with us during the cabinet design process, responding attentively to our ideas, questions, and changes to arrive at the final design. Julie made thoughtful recommendations to improve the overall function of the kitchen, which were a testament to her years of experience and attention-to-detail. The cabinets arrived on the precise day that she told us they would. On delivery day, the process for ensuring order completion and correct cabinet installation was systematic. After delivery, Julie advised on installation and finishing details such as countertop edging and cabinet pull placement. If I could give 6 stars, I would!”

“We recently finished a job with Artistic Kitchen, I would highly recommend this place, and kudos to our designer Kristin McRae, she is awesome! Our project is vanity cabinets in several bathrooms, including a quite challenging irregular shaped one. We were sure we want to do crystal cabinets, so talked with a couple of dealers, Artistic was the top two we liked from our list (I hesitate putting it on our list in the beginning, we thought they only do kitchens, good to know they also do bathrooms and other places :) ). And the reason we finally decided to work with them is the professional advices and information from Kristin. And we are happy we made this decision, the process went quite smooth, we don't need to worry about it, only need to provide personal design preferences. The installation was not trivial, and the design team also helped with great advice to our GC. Appreciate that. I would recommend this place to my friends (actually already did), and consider working with them again if there are further projects.”
