Ikea Kitchen Planner

You know what they say… If you are planning to fail, you must have failed to plan. That statement couldn’t be more true than when you’re undertaking an Ikea kitchen remodeling project.

You will definitely fail if you do not pay great attention to detail on the planning of your project from the very beginning. There’s no way around it. It’s very important that you start off your project on the right foot, so take extra time to get your initial kitchen design right!

When first starting your planning your focus should be on overall kitchen design, the Ikea Kitchen Planner Software is where you will want to start.

If you haven’t done so already, go to Ikea and download the Ikea Kitchen Planner Software here:

Ikea Kitchen Planner Software

When you get the Ikea Kitchen Planner, install it on your computer and play around with it for a couple of days and do some rough schematic designs.

Ok now that you are doing good with the software, now is when to get some really good measurements from the kitchen you are planning for. If you do not want to measure the kitchen by yourself, get the help of your family or friends, you can even hire out to a service company to do it for you.

Once you have your measurements complete, it is now a great time to try your hand at your first design using the planner software.

Start off by creating a new project in the Ikea Kitchen Planner Software and input your kitchen dimensions and finalize your room layout.

When the room layout is ready to go it is time to play with the software a little, you can now start to place your cabinets into your newly created room and see exactly what it will look like.

When you start to place the cabinets with the planning software, make very sure that you give all the required information and clear specifications on things like door styles, finishes and such so your quote and
parts list is correct when you’re done and ready to print***

When you finish your initial design, take a couple of days off and then revisit your design to see if it will work.

If your not quite comfortable with your design, save this design and start a new one. You may also want to try a layout that’s completely different from your first effort just for the fun of it. When i designed my kitchen i did that also. I ended up choosing the best one from a group of 4 designs i started off with for my final layout.

Now that you have your basic Ikea Kitchen Plan together, you need to invest some time doing research on your flooring, counter tops, back splash tile, appliances and cabinet hardware.
