Exceptional design.
It’s this, more than anything else, which defines the philosophy of Belle Kitchen. Located at International Market Square, this showroom is a series of kitchen spaces—full layouts designed to give homeowners a sense of place, style, and a room where they could envision themselves.
“It’s not meant to feel like a place to select things; it’s meant to feel like real living spaces,” explains Tricia Bayer, owner.
The showroom also exhibits Belle Kitchen’s design-minded interpretation of various kitchen styles, from the traditional to the ultra modern. These kitchens are not purely one specific style, but offer an eclectic approach—a blend based on design principles. “It’s all about an interpretation of people’s likes,” Tricia says.
Belle Kitchen is a firm that can design, build and install not only kitchens, but all rooms of the home including baths, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and offices. The showroom is a select dealer for Wood-Mode and Leicht. U.S.-based Wood-Mode offers a more traditional style and is known as one of the best cabinetry lines in the industry. Wood-Mode’s 28-step finish process yields superior-quality cabinet doors with unequaled finish. This company is also an industry leader for green practices—including planting three trees for every one the company uses. German manufacturer Leicht specializes in highly engineered contemporary European-style cabinetry. This company stays at the forefront of design by consistently offering new and innovative finishes and products, many of which have been recognized with red dot awards (Europe’s recognition of great design). Wood-Mode and Leicht are great fits for Belle Kitchen’s philosophy of working with green suppliers and using renewable resources.
Owners Jean-Claude Desjardins and Tricia Bayer bring unique backgrounds to their business. Both are veterans of commercial design and both have studied architecture abroad. The duo relies on their experiences to bring distinctive design concepts to home kitchens.
They back up their design acumen with phenomenal service; clients receive as much time and attention as it takes to ensure a successful, on-budget project—regardless of its size.
“We’re focused on the client; we make sure we take care of them until the job is done,” Jean-Claude says. “It’s all about the expectations of the client, and meeting that.”
Adds Tricia, “We would never be satisfied until every last detail is taken care of.”
