Kitchen Design
Custom kitchens designed for the way a family lives
Every Longfellow kitchen is custom designed for the family that will use it. A designer learns how the household cooks, eats, entertains and starts the day, then plans the room, the cabinetry and the details to suit those routines.
Design Guidance
Longfellow's award-winning kitchen designers guide each decision, from the layout and cabinet style to the stone, hardware and lighting. Selections are made in person at the Boston showroom at 549 Columbus Avenue in the South End, where clients handle the stone, compare finishes side by side, and see how each choice will look in the room before anything is specified.
Kitchen Styles
Longfellow designs kitchens for coastal homes on Cape Cod, mountain homes in the White Mountains, suburban homes around Greater Boston and brownstones in the city. The style follows the house and the family who live in it: painted cabinetry and pale stone in one kitchen, black cabinetry under a timber ceiling in another, stained wood and open shelving in a third.

Furniture-Grade Cabinetry
Cabinetry is custom designed for each kitchen and handcrafted to furniture grade, with precision dovetail joinery. Refrigerators, dishwashers and other appliances are fitted with cabinetry panels to match the surrounding cabinets. Convenience features are built in. Appliance garages, for example, keep the coffee maker, toaster and mixer off the counter and within reach.
Custom Built-Ins
Built-ins are designed for the household and fitted to the walls they occupy. Recent kitchens include custom-built china cabinets and breakfast nook booths.

Butler's Pantries and Sculleries
A butler's pantry between the kitchen and dining room stores glassware and serving pieces and gives the host a place to stage a meal. A scullery is a working space next to the main kitchen, traditional or modern in style, used for food preparation, washing dishes, and storing heavy appliances. Both keep the main kitchen clear when the family entertains.
Materials and Lighting
Distinctive materials give each kitchen its character. A hammered zinc prep sink or statement pendant lighting over the island are two examples from Longfellow kitchens. The designers help clients choose pieces like these and place them where they will be seen and used.
Craftsmanship
Millwork is drawn and milled for the house, and the kitchen designer works in the same office as the architects, engineers and construction managers who carry out the work. The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston has twice recognized the firm with PRISM awards for millwork and custom cabinetry, and named Longfellow its Builder of the Year in 2026. Boston Home named the firm Best of Boston Home for High-End Home Remodeling in 2025 and 2026.
