If you are designing a kitchen or a bathroom it is a luxury to have a tool that will allow you to put your design ideas into a tool that creates a virtual room for you.
There are a few online tools that will allow you to layout your entire kitchen from appliances to decor and then show it in 3-d. You input the dimensions of your room add windows and door openings and then begin the design process. If you use the Lowe’s tool you can actually select from several different major appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, cook tops, ranges. Beyond that you can also add small appliances like to toasters to the counter to determine if you have enough counter space to support your cooking style. The appliances specs are taking from top names like GE, Electrolux, Kitchenaide and more. From there you can add top and bottom counters. After you determine the spacial design of your kitchen the Lowe’s tools goes one step further and allows you to add some color to the counters, cabinets and the flooring so you can actually get an overall perspective of what you want. The Lowe’s tools is a great free starter to design your kitchen because it will display the kitchen in 2-D as well as 3-D and allow you to change the viewpoint. The tool will also help you with the design of your laundry room and bathroom.
The Lowe’s tools is a great free started tool. If you plan on taking your design much further such as laying out the furniture and the rest of the color design for your house you should try a dedicated software program like . HGTV Home Designer or Punch software home and landscape design. I love these types of tools because they are about as close as you can get to walking into the real think when you are building or remodeling your home.
