Q: How can I find formaldehyde-free furniture?

Look for solid wood furniture with zero-VOC finishes. Avoid composite woods that may contain glues with formaldehyde.

Q: What kind of paint is safest?

Low-VOC and zero-VOC paint options like milk paint or plant-based paints release far fewer fumes. Always let all paints fully cure before occupying spaces.

Q: What building materials are best for chemical sensitivities?

Natural materials like solid wood, wool, cotton, hemp and linoleum tend to have lower VOC and formaldehyde emissions. Look for Greenguard certified low-VOC products.

Q: How early should I start planning a kitchen remodel?

Ideally 6-8 months prior. This gives adequate time to create designs, get permits, order materials and line up contractors. Rushed timelines can result in mistakes.

Q: What is the difference between an interior designer and kitchen designer?

Kitchen designers focus specifically on kitchens rather than whole homes. Many have training in kitchen workflow, storage, appliances and construction considerations.

Q: How much does a kitchen designer cost?

Costs range from hourly rates around $100-250/hour, flat fees from $1,500-$5,000, or 10-20% of the total kitchen remodel budget for full service.
