Custom Kitchen & Bath Design Experts
For over 75 years, Artistic Kitchens has been a family-owned leader in crafting exceptional kitchen and bath spaces. Founded in 1948 by Walter Kevelin, our legacy of excellence began in post-war Detroit with a commitment to transforming houses into personalized homes. Through four generations, we have combined traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation to meet the evolving needs of homeowners. My grandfather Ivan Kevelin and his brother Bruce expanded the business in 1969, applying their engineering expertise to elevate our standards. Today, I continue this heritage by integrating fresh perspectives gained from two decades in the industry, including hands-on experience with leading cabinet manufacturers.Our process prioritizes personalized collaboration, utilizing 3D design technology to visualize solutions tailored to each client's lifestyle. We serve Southeast Michigan and beyond, offering services ranging from new construction to specialized built-ins. Our partnerships with high-quality cabinetry makers ensure durable, aesthetically refined results. With a history of award-winning designs and a focus on functional beauty, we remain dedicated to creating spaces that reflect our clients' visions while honoring our family's tradition of excellence.
