experience
Unlike conventional kitchen showrooms, we schedule individual appointments that allow our designers to concentrate on each customer's project. The process includes visiting the property, taking measurements, and preparing initial computerized layouts. Following a collaborative review, we refine the proposed arrangement and develop detailed designs that address cabinets, flooring, and appliances. Our offices feature cabinet construction displays, extensive door and finish samples, and three-dimensional design presentations. By avoiding unnecessary showroom expenses, we maintain attractive cabinetry pricing while emphasizing experienced design guidance. Whether a kitchen requires a complete redesign or improved storage and functionality, we help homeowners make informed decisions about their renovation.

Kitchen Design
Our business model is designed to deliver better kitchen layouts and higher-quality cabinetry without the overhead associated with conventional showrooms. We operate from a private office where customers can explore eight cabinet brands and their finishes. A modest upfront deposit supports our measurement and preliminary design process, ensuring meaningful time is devoted to committed renovation customers.
Cabinet Sales
We provide eight nationally distributed cabinet lines featuring semi-custom and custom designs at competitive prices. Our selection includes framed and frameless cabinetry in numerous wood species, finishes, and door styles. Every cabinet line features solid wood dovetail drawers and full-extension soft-close tracks. We offer a limited lifetime warranty while helping customers select quality cabinetry within their budgets.
Countertop Brands
Our countertop lines feature materials that combine visual appeal with practical performance. We carry quartz surfaces from Cambria, Viatera, Colorquartz, and MSI, alongside Silestone's innovative hybrid material. Corian and Wilsonart contribute versatile solid surface alternatives suitable for diverse applications. Customers can compare distinctive patterns, colors, textures, and material characteristics when selecting countertops for residential or commercial environments.
Kitchen Design Process
Our kitchen design process focuses on achieving the best possible layout without unnecessary spending. We begin by discussing your project during a complimentary consultation and providing an estimated budget. An in-home measurement and subsequent design appointments allow us to refine your plans. We also guide your selections from our extensive cabinetry and material options.

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.

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.

After moving to the area from Charlotte, NC we conducted endless research to find a high quality , reasonably priced K&B to completely overhaul our 70's kitchen as part of our gut renovation. We met with at least 7 companies and narrowed it to 2. Received pricing on the exact same kitchen layout, Semi-Custom brand of cabinets, door style, and finish. I was astonished at the price difference for one, but also the attention to detail and service we received during this process alone from Mainline kitchens. Because of this, we decided to work with Jeremy Lista and Mainline Kitchens, and we could not be happier with our new kitchen! As a designer I already had a plan drawn up but Jeremy made it better with small but meaningful tweaks, and also helped me create an entirely new cabinet as a hidden pantry door and a custom made hood that was not offered by Brighton at the time. There were a few hiccups with Brighton along the way but Jeremy was on top of every issue with them and had things fixed or replaced immediately. Next up will be bathrooms and, after such a great experience, we now enlist Jeremy @ Mainline Kitchens for all of our own renovation clients in the area!

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 had an outstanding experience with Main Line Kitchen Design from start to finish. Their team demonstrated exceptional project management, clear and consistent communication, and a genuine commitment to quality. They stayed closely involved throughout the process, checking in regularly and ensuring the contractor’s work met their high standards.
Paul, one of the designers, brought deep expertise and creativity to the project. He consistently offered thoughtful, innovative solutions that elevated both the look and functionality of our kitchen. This is in my opinion what truly sets Main Line Kitchen apart: their ability to strike the perfect balance between a beautiful design and a highly functional kitchen and workspace. They also respected the project timeline, which we greatly appreciated. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend them.

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.

Paul and Main Line Kitchen Design (MLKD) are amazing! Paul is knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about kitchen design. I “cold” emailed him some questions about my kitchen design, and he generously answered and invited me onto his Calls with Paul podcast. There he gave me even more solid advice and even emailed me a hand sketched design after the podcast. Simply amazing! Check out MLKD if you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen.

I can’t begin to tell you how much a pleasure it was to work in with Jeremey and the main line kitchen design crew. We were walked through the kitchen design process seamlessly making sure that all our wants were added in. There was some hiccups (which happens with every project) that was at no fault of theirs and they helped us work through EVERYTHING and got everything taken care of! Highly recommend them for all your kitchen needs!!!!

We chose Mainline for our kitchen design needs and couldn’t be happier! Jeremy was so patient and took all of our requests and vague ideas of what we wanted and created a beautiful and thoughtful design. He was incredibly patient during cabinet selection and took the time to walk us through so many options and variations. He also suggested visiting the wolf/sub-zero showroom, which we were uncertain of at first, but turned out to be amazing and so helpful. Mainline reached out to a couple of their recommended contractors, which allowed us to get a competitive bid and find an amazing general contractor. Jeremy stayed in touch throughout the construction process, and was very quick to respond to any questions that came up, and just made the whole process go as smooth as possible. We sincerely appreciate the huge role Jeremy played in our kitchen transformation!

Our new kitchen is now complete and we can happily report that we were very pleased with our overall experience with Main Line Kitchen Design. Chris did an excellent job in creating a kitchen design that enabled us to keep our "eat in" kitchen, yet modernize the layout. He came up with an idea that no one else had thought of! He was able to skillfully help us navigate through all of the decisions that we needed to make. We truly appreciated the fact that Main Line Kitchen was able to offer us the names of several contractors instead of having to search for contractors on our own. We were well pleased with the contractor we chose. Thank you for helping us make the plan of a remodeled kitchen a reality.

We had a great experience with Jeremy at Mainline Kitchen design! When we moved in to our house 10 years ago, we knew that we needed to renovate at some point given the poor layout, deteriorating particle board countertop and drooping drawers. Concerned about the downtime, it wasn't until last year when we decided to bite the bullet and start this project. Jeremy was easy to work with, and we love the design and layout. The contractor he had recommended was responsive, knowledgeable, and kept to the timeline. We are really enjoying our new kitchen. Thanks to Mainline Kitchen, our experience was tremendously smoother than we had feared!
