Bon Air got its start in 1877 as a rail accessible resort for Richmonders looking to escape the city heat, and its village core along Buford Road still carries that Victorian character today as a recognized historic district. Beyond that core, the wider neighborhood is a mix of mid century ranches, Cape Cods, split levels, and newer infill homes, many within walking distance of Huguenot Park and Rockwood Park. That range of home styles and ages means kitchen and bathroom projects here vary a lot, from careful updates in a Victorian cottage to a full renovation in a 1960s ranch. Tennessee Designs Kitchen and Bath Remodelers works with Bon Air homeowners across that whole range.
The kitchen carries more daily traffic than almost any other room, so when it feels cramped, dark, or outdated, it affects everyday life more than people expect. Our kitchen remodeling service turns those kitchens into spaces that actually work, whether that means a full layout change or a more focused update to cabinets, counters, and lighting. In Bon Air’s older homes, that often means reworking a closed off kitchen to connect better with an adjoining dining or family room.
A bathroom should be somewhere you want to spend time, not just pass through. Our bathroom remodel service covers full renovations and smaller, more targeted updates, replacing dated tile, worn fixtures, and cramped layouts with something brighter and easier to use. Many mid century Bon Air homes still have their original bathroom footprint, and we work within that space to add better storage, updated lighting, and a shower or tub that fits how you actually use it.
Every kitchen renovation with our custom design and build service starts with your specific home, not a generic package. Whether you’re working with the original footprint of a Victorian cottage or the more open layout of a newer build, we help you choose a cabinet style, countertop material, and layout that fits both your household and the home’s existing character.
Our custom bathroom design and build service gives you control over every detail, from a larger walk in shower to a double vanity with better storage. We help you weigh the tradeoffs between different layouts and finishes so the finished bathroom fits your daily routine and your home’s overall style.

In most cases, yes, without much added complexity. Historic district guidelines typically focus on exterior changes, like windows, rooflines, and siding, rather than interior work. Kitchen and bathroom renovations are interior projects, so they generally fall outside those review requirements unless your project involves changing an exterior wall or window.
Yes. We look at original trim, door casings, and other architectural details before finalizing a design, and we plan cabinetry and finishes that complement the home’s age rather than clashing with it. Many homeowners want a kitchen that functions like a modern space while still feeling like it belongs in the house.
It does, but maybe not in the direction you’d expect. Larger bathrooms cost more overall since they need more materials and labor, but smaller bathrooms often cost more per square foot, since plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing work is required regardless of the room’s size. We walk through this with you during your consultation so your budget matches the actual scope.
Homes built in the mid twentieth century sometimes have plumbing that’s reached the end of its useful life, even if it’s still functioning. If your project involves moving a sink, tub, or toilet, we check the condition of the existing plumbing first and let you know honestly whether it makes sense to replace it while the walls are already open.
Yes. Combining multiple bathroom projects into one timeline often makes the process more efficient than tackling them separately, since some of the planning and scheduling overlaps. We can walk you through what a combined project would look like for your specific bathrooms.
