Pinterest is great for collecting kitchen remodeling ideas. But, when it’s time to start turning those ideas into a remodel plan, you need some design tools. Nothing beats the design team at Inspired Remodels, but if you want to play around with design before you sit down with us, try one of these online kitchen remodel planner tools.
RoomSketcher Kitchen Remodel Planner
This kitchen remodel planner is free. Now, you know you can’t beat that price, but what do you get in return? Well to start with there’s a tremendous database of appliances, cabinets, finishes, countertops and cabinet fronts. You’re sure to find something that matches your Pinterest board items in this database.
We love that this kitchen remodel planner is one of the few that lets you play around with different textures, tiles, and finish surfaces for your walls. Others might let you play with the floors, but not many will let you change wall finishes without upgrading to a premium package.
There’s an App for That!
Not into sitting at the desktop or laptop when you are redesigning your kitchen? Not to worry, Houzz has an app for that. Download their app to your smartphone or tablet. Now, take a picture of your kitchen and start dragging and dropping elements on top of your kitchen.
This tool is more for a renovation where you aren’t making major changes. For example, it won’t let you take out walls or add walls, but if you are keeping the layout the same this app is fun. You can even put canisters on the counters if you want to see every little detail of your remodel.
Planner 5D
This app is available for the desktop or smartphone. You can create a floor plan in 2 dimensions and then add your other elements and view them in 3D. Hence, the 5D in the name (2D + 3D = 5D).
Planner 5D has a pretty cool feature that lets you turn your finished design into a realistic photograph. Then if you want to get social, it’s easy to share your design with the community of Planner5D users. Better than Pinterest for as a source of ideas! The Planner 5D community lets you see what professional designers are doing as they share their cutting edge designs.
