From luxury appliances to custom cabinets, Kitchens By Kleweno has been transforming homes with a commitment to craftsmanship and functionality for 80 years. The Kleweno name has become synonymous with innovative and quality kitchen designs in Kansas City.

Kleweno is a full-service kitchen design studio known for innovative, functional and artistic designs and as a trusted resource for exceptional handcrafted custom cabinets.

Located in historic Westport since 1972, their showroom displays everything from richly hand-tooled furniture-quality custom wood cabinetry to modern high-style kitchen vignettes.

“At Kitchens by Kleweno, we specialize in custom kitchen cabinets that seamlessly blend craftsmanship with personalized design. Whether you envision sleek modern cabinetry, elegant traditional styles, or something uniquely tailored to your space, our custom cabinets transform kitchens, bathrooms, and beyond into stunning works of art,” says Sue Shinneman, only the third owner of the company, and a Certified Kitchen Designer with over 30 years of experience. “We try hard not to be super trendy – we want our clients to love their home for years to come. We spend time getting to know you personally to create a kitchen that’s timeless and tailored to your lifestyle, whether your style is traditional, transitional, or contemporary.”

In many older homes, the kitchen was small and hidden at the back of the house. Today, kitchens are designed for the way you live. It is more than a place to cook—it’s the center of how people live, gather, and connect. Founder Merle Kleweno foresaw that way back in 1946. That philosophy continues to guide every project Kleweno designs today.

And great design doesn’t stop at the kitchen. It carries through every space — creating a home that feels connected, intentional, and built to last. From primary suites to bathrooms and beyond, each detail is thoughtfully considered and executed with care. The team of award-winning designers will turn your unique vision into a stunning reality with lasting beauty.

A dedicated project manager will coordinate all the details to bring your kitchen to life in a simple, stress-free way. Not even the smallest detail is overlooked.

“We take great care in managing your entire experience and are committed to exceptional service long after your kitchen is complete. I think the longevity of the company is due to top-notch service. We have many repeat clients. Recently, a customer came back to us after 26 years, ready for a refresh. We still had all their information from their previous remodel,” she notes.

The team of award-winning designers have decades of experience, and have built longstanding relationships in the industry. “Our fine custom cabinetmakers are all lines we have partnered with for over 25 years, and we also have established relationships with local, highly skilled artisans for unique finds,” adds Sue.

Kleweno’s legacy has made it one of the most trusted design studios in the area. Contact them to turn your home into a work of art.
