Kitchen Social: Sarasota Location

Emily has been a part of designing Kitchen Social interiors since their very first location in Columbus, OH. The owners wanted the design and brand to reflect a welcoming homey kitchen vibe where people could gather around and share a meal. Emily went for an upscale, comfortable design, paying attention to every detail of lighting, visual movement, textures, and materials. The modern bar, open kitchen, and curves within the restaurant have become a signature of the brand, representing fine dining while encouraging a sense of community and inclusion.

In 2026, they expanded into a Florida location at Sarasota’s University Town Center. The design blends rustic warmth with lively modern energy, creating the perfect spot for diners to gather and socialize. While remaining true to the branding, Emily intentionally and seamlessly integrated coastal textures, respecting the location and culture of the area.
