Design your own kitchen?
Yes, you can!

If you'd love to design your own kitchen, this section will walk you through the steps. It's easy...once you know how!

No software required! Unless you plan to do this for a living (or you're software super-savvy), don't buy kitchen design software. The learning curve can be a pain and you'll end up frustrated with the time you've wasted.

Don't worry...before you're done, you'll have a free rendition of your beautiful new kitchen!

I recommend designing the low-tech way. You'll need:

  • graph paper
  • straight-edge
  • tape measure
  • printer (to make copies)

Yes, it's drawing...BUT you don't need to be an artist to draw a kitchen design.


DESIGN STEPS:

    1) Decisions, decisions! How to get at least some of your ducks in a row before you start with solid kitchen design planning.
    2) Measure and draw your room dimensions on graph paper for your basic kitchen drawing.
    3) Next you'll learn kitchen cabinet sizes ...a complete listing of standard sizes, PLUS how to understand and use the manufacturers "code" in your design.
    4) Kitchen design basics walks you through the process of drawing appliances and cabinets on your design and tips on the best placement. Here you'll finish your design...and then perfect it!
    5) Finally...go to your favorite home center to order kitchen cabinets! Home center kitchen designers have the software and they know how to use it...you'll finally see what your kitchen will look like! Take advantage of this free service, and finalize the last details before you order those cabs. Here's what you need to know before you go.

Be prepared to be very proud yourself!

Once you design your own kitchen, you can brag, "I did it myself!"

And then, of course, you'll send your friends and family who want to know how to do it themselves straight to ME...YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL...at kitchen-design-angel.com!
