Custom Kitchen Design Solutions in Pennsylvania
Homeowners seeking comprehensive kitchen design assistance can rely on Main Line Kitchen Design for knowledgeable planning and a broad selection of cabinetry. Located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, we work throughout the Delaware Valley, helping clients reimagine kitchens that no longer meet their needs. We develop layouts that improve the relationship between cabinetry, appliances, countertops, and available floor space. Our design expertise extends to both smaller residential kitchens and substantial renovations involving new configurations and cabinetry installations. As an award-winning design firm, we are guided by the extensive professional experience of our owner, Paul McAlary. We sell eight nationally distributed cabinetry lines, including semi-custom and custom options, while maintaining pricing designed to compete with larger retailers and conventional showrooms.

We believe successful kitchen remodeling begins with understanding the existing room and the homeowner's expectations. Our designers visit each property to measure the kitchen and discuss the intended improvements. Preliminary digital drawings allow us to explore different arrangements before progressing to more detailed plans. As the design develops, we address specific cabinets, appliances, flooring, and related selections. In our appointment-only offices, customers can examine how cabinets are constructed, compare door samples, and evaluate available finishes. Three-dimensional presentations provide an additional perspective on the proposed space. Through this focused approach, we help customers navigate kitchen design decisions while keeping attention on functionality, appearance, and cabinetry value.

Instead of maintaining a conventional public showroom, we operate an office featuring eight cabinet manufacturers and their available styles and finishes. Customers provide a small deposit before we invest approximately eight hours in measuring and preparing preliminary designs for their renovation projects.

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.

From design to execution, MLKD was there every step of the way. Working with our designer, Ed was an easy and natural experience. He provided input, but also let us have our voice in the creative process. The kitchen came out beautifully, and we love cooking and entertaining in it everyday!

Main Line Kitchen Design is awesome and I highly recommend them. Chris Rosetti was creative and turned our small galley kitchen and mudroom into a cohesive and functional space. He was incredibly responsive and patient with all of our questions and requests. Working with Main Line Kitchen Design made an overwhelming project manageable and fun.

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.

I had a tricky space and no clear idea of what I wanted. Paul came up with a layout I’d never have thought of myself — and it’s perfect. Exactly what the room needed.
If you want someone who actually thinks about your space rather than just upgrading what is there, go to Mainline Kitchen Design

Chris did an amazing job with our kitchen, pantry, living room built ins, mud room bench, vanities and laundry room designs. We couldn’t be happier with the cabinets and the designs. Chris helped us pick the exact cabinets for the application and the budget for each space. As a builder and contractor I was amazed that not one piece was short with this enormous order. I highly recommend Main Line Kitchen Design!

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!!!!

From the initial design phase to the final delivery, every step of the process was seamless and stress-free.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Mainline Kitchen Design to anyone looking for a team that’s not only talented but also genuinely dedicated to delivering outstanding results. Thank you, Chris, Paul, and the entire team!

I have always wanted to redesign my kitchen but had no idea where to begin. Chris from Main Line Kitchen design made the entire process easy and enjoyable. He guided me every step of the way from finding contractors to picking hardware for the cabinets. He was prompt and never left anything to chance.

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!

A Main Line Kitchen Design renovation has just been completed in my home and I couldn't be happier. Paul, Chris and Juliet were wonderful advisors. With Chris and Juliet's experience and design talent I was finally able to visualize how to make my small, inefficient kitchen beautiful and functional. I now have more storage space than I thought possible. Juliet listened to my wants and needs and nudged me towards selections she thought I would like. She coordinated all ordering, scheduling and installation which made the experience less stressful. The final result is fantastic. I would definitely recommend Main Line Kitchen Design.

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!

We are so happy with our new kitchen from MLKD. We had a very outdated kitchen that was way overdue for a change. Jeremy did a fantastic job with the design and layout. The old dingy space is now light and bright and so well appointed, with very minimal structural changes. Communication was good-everything was easy. Would highly recommend them!

Lauren did an amazing job of helping us create our dream kitchen. She was extremely detail oriented and an excellent problem solver. Upon her initial visit to my house she suggested opening our kitchen to the rarely used dining room. This relatively easy change helped us to finally use the 40 percent of our downstairs (dining room and formal living room) that we never used for the 13 years we had been living in our house. MLKD offered several very good options for cabinets but not so many that the decision was overwhelming. We ended up using Brighton for the quality and semicustom options and couldn

We had a terrific experience with Ed under very difficult circumstances. Our house was destroyed by flooding from Hurricane Ida and we had to gut the whole first floor. We were in temporary housing with our two little kids and dog, which was not ideal, so just wanted to move as quickly as possible in the rebuild. We called MLKD and Ed was out here the next day, with a beautiful new kitchen design shortly afterward. He held our hand through every step of the process, including getting us set up with a fantastic contractor (Rich Werner) for the install. We could not be happier with the outcome -

I love my new kitchen! I worked with Paul & his design for my space is fantastic. My dark, dreary old kitchen and dining room has been transformed into a wonderful space for my family. He was so helpful throughout the whole process. All of his suggestions were right on the mark. I am at the far end of Main Lines service area and when I struggled to find a contractor, Paul recommended one who has done a great job. Its been a very positive experience from start to finish!
