Input your measurements and work triangle type into the online program. These measurements will allow the program to generate your simulated three-dimensional kitchen.

The cabinets can quickly change the look of the kitchen, so they are the suggested first choice in a design.

Decide on appliances. Consider functionality, costs, and overall design. The location of the appliances should already be determined from your work triangle. Every detail, such as loading position of the refrigerator and dishwasher, is important, depending on your work style. Layout and appliance choices can become an efficiency dream or impractical nightmare.

Begin deciding paint color and furniture so you can fully experience the new kitchen. Save your work so you can review your choices in the future without going through the design process again. Once a final decision is made, you can work with a design team to make your virtual kitchen a reality.

Tips & Warnings
Designing a kitchen is a serious commitment. Be as specific as possible when it comes to timeline, budget and overall functionality of your new kitchen. Discuss details as much as needed with your design team so they are clear on your vision and goals.
Understand that a virtual simulation of your kitchen will not represent exactly what the physical outcome will be once the project is complete. Work with your design team to understand what adjustments will be made between your virtual project and your actual kitchen.
