It’s time to update your beloved but tired kitchen. Traditionally, the next step is to hire a professional and spend a large amount of money on their services.
It is certain that they will help you every step of the way in deciding on the color, grade and design of the cabinet. They will offer various design options regarding reconfigurations of kitchen traffic patterns, appliances, and island locations.
Most professionals will do a fantastic job designing your new kitchen, but expect to pay millions to thousands of dollars during this planning phase before you begin your kitchen remodeling project.
You have another option: kitchen design software! Believe it or not, most remodelers rely on some level of kitchen design software to help them with client projects.
Did you know that you can take advantage of this same type of software that gives you the power to create your own custom kitchen design?
You don’t need a design degree or extensive knowledge of what’s available in kitchen remodeling options. Each choice has already been preloaded into the program.
Is that how it works:
Step 1) Start by creating a sketch of the room, drawing the basic floor plan, with precise measurements. Take note of the location of the windows and doors, where they are now, and where you want them to be.
Step 2) Enter those measurements into your kitchen design software program as directed, this provides the basic space of the room to view on screen.
Step 3) Now it’s time to start coming up with different design ideas. You’ll have more design and style options than you’ll ever need, all with three-dimensional features.
With simple point-and-click manipulations, you can add cabinets, countertops, wall paint colors, flooring, and anything else you want as you create your custom 3D kitchen.
You can change the stains on the cabinets. See how the appliances work in the room with their color scheme. Find the best position for your new kitchen island. Oh, and let’s not forget the backsplash, top trim, crown molding, and lighting options.
Yes, it is that simple!
By starting your project with kitchen design software, you can make “mistakes” without any financial consequences. You have the luxury to paste and erase any crazy combinations or original design ideas. You can add a pantry or serving bar and designer sinks in any style you like.
You never know, what you may think is radical today may be your perfectly redesigned kitchen tomorrow!
The point is that you can have a lot of fun with this software. And, just as important, it’s a money-saving tool that will give you the confidence to know where you’re going with your kitchen redesign project.
Once you’ve drawn up your design, click the blue print or 3D design option and send it directly to your printer for easy reference.
Discuss your plan with a contractor or save even more money by doing it yourself.
