A kitchen remodel or renovation is an extremely exciting prospect, but also a daunting one. It’s not an area where you can dive in without a detailed plan – you need precise measurements, a plan, and all or most of your materials up front. If you get something even an eighth of an inch off, you may find you’ve made an extremely costly mistake.
High-quality 3D kitchen design software allows you to plan your kitchen remodel or renovation with real-world measurements, so you can be sure everything will work just as you hope. Many 3D kitchen design software options help you plan every detail, from the layout right down to the color scheme.
Kitchen design software provides you with the perfect way to plan and design a new kitchen so that you can see what your kitchen will look like in your space.
Realizing something is not quite right during the remodel and finding that it is too late to change could be frustrating, upsetting, and expensive. This type of 3D software allows you to make changes and tweak your design so that it is perfect before starting on the kitchen remodel.
Kitchen design software also provides you with an accurate plan for everyone involved to work from, whether it be the contractor, carpenter, or decorator.
You will find that some 3D kitchen design software will simply provide you with a basic plan of your potential layout and coloring for your new kitchen, whereas others, like Skipp’s proprietary 3D kitchen remodeling experience, will provide you with various options to choose from, allowing you to find your dream kitchen, down to the very last detail.
Many kitchen design apps and software are available, either free or paid; however, many of them have limitations. For example:
Houzz provides you with photographs of kitchen designs, which you can then draw on and annotate right from the app. This is great for finding inspiration and unique furniture products, but not so much for designing your new kitchen from start to finish.
IKEA Kitchen Planner allows you to drag-and-drop IKEA units into a space with your bespoke measurements. If you’re looking to install a budget IKEA kitchen, this is ideal; however, if you want a kitchen from any other provider, this software only works as a baseline, giving you an idea of how you might want your kitchen layout.
RoomSketcher Kitchen Planner is good for creating basic outlines for your new kitchen, but if you even want to include measurements in your design, you will have to upgrade to the Pro version at $99 for a whole year. Unless it’s going to take you that long to design your dream kitchen, this is only a real option for professional kitchen designers or if you’re willing to spend some money before your kitchen renovation begins in earnest.
These design apps are fine, but if you really want the best 3D kitchen planner, Skipp has you covered. We take a 3D scan of your kitchen space to get perfectly accurate measurements, which we then use to generate hundreds of options with varying layouts and styles so that you can choose the kitchen design you have always dreamed of. You can DIY your bespoke kitchen, by going with a contractor you may have already formed a relationship with, or, you can benefit from our approved partners in our general contractor networks, to save both time and money.
With most 3D kitchen design software, you need to start by measuring your space, giving as accurate measurements as possible. This then provides you with a blank canvas to work from, in which you can begin to add cabinets, appliances, islands, furniture, and other aspects.
Often, it comes down to what is available within the software itself. For instance, you may have seen your dream cabinets on Pinterest, or in a friend’s home, but when it comes to the software, you can’t find anything that even comes close. Typically, software providers will have a relatively small selection of design options to choose from. So, although your design might be close to what you are thinking of, it simply won’t be your dream kitchen.
Skipp is different. With our design packages from brand name interior designers and architects, and with being able to see 3 layouts of your kitchen in only 3 days with our AI-aided technology, you are sure to find those cabinets, backsplashes, and countertops,, that you have always been dreaming of -- fast.
3D kitchen designers will use much more advanced software than you can find for free online, or in an app. This will enable them to design every aspect of the kitchen, show 360˚ views of their designs, and even adjust the lighting to show what the kitchen will look like at all times of the day.
This type of software is expensive and requires some expertise to get the most out of. But, did you know? Skipp gives you access to this type of high-quality software and does all the hard work for you, at no added cost.
If you are really keen to DIY every aspect of your kitchen remodel, including the design process, you can check out the apps and software listed above, but if you’re looking for the best professional 3D kitchen design software, you should look no further than Skipp.
When you design a new kitchen layout, there are a few things that you will need to think about.
If you are looking to make substantial changes to the layout, you should consider the following questions:
Where is the best place for highly-used appliances, such as the refrigerator?
Do you want to include any special features?
Do you want to be able to eat in the kitchen, and designate space for that?
How many cabinets are you likely to need?
Do you want to focus more on cooking and food preparation or entertaining?
What is the best width for walkways in regard to the number of people inside?
Are you looking more for practicality, or style?
How should you maximize storage space with clever solutions?
These questions can help you to work out exactly what you need and what you want to include in your kitchen and enable you to make tweaks to your design before any work actually takes place.
You can design the best kitchen simply by using 3D kitchen design software, through Skipp. Our simple 4-step experience and process will provide you with your dream kitchen without you having to try and get to grips with free 3D kitchen design software online and creating something that just doesn’t seem quite right.
