Planning a kitchen is a mammoth task and a decision that should not be taken lightly by any means. There are so many things to consider when planning a full remodel like costs, style and your particular needs, let’s face it a kitchen is sometimes the hub of a house and getting it right means so much. Also consider this that out of all possible projects you could do on your house the kitchen is the one that will probably add more value to your home in terms of resale price.

With all that in consideration where do you start? Well there are a number of options available to the large range of consumers out there as currently the home DIY industry is getting bigger and bigger year by year. There are number of retail stores available out there that sell kitchens by the masses no matter what the size of the project is or you could search out for private smaller companies who sometimes can offer the better deal or unique skills.

You can buy readymade kitchens or have one custom built, obviously going down the custom built option always takes more money and time. No matter what the situation you will always have the option to have your kitchen planned and designed for you, however have you ever thought of designing your own kitchen? There are a number of tools and options out there to make you life easier and essentially get your own personal touch into your kitchen.

There are so many tools out there I would like to help you in what you should look for when considering buying kitchen design software. Buying the right kitchen design software is vital to get your ideas down and pass them onto you builder, supplier and anyone else involved in the build of your dream kitchen.

The ideal kitchen design software will have some or a good amount of the following features detailed below:

Tools
Some of the best software packages have a number of tools available to help make your life easier and ensure you get the right look for your kitchen. Some great features to look out for adjustable camera angles, virtual walkthroughs, material libraries, sizeable screen assets and general layout templates to provide a good starting point.

Usability
A critical part of any software out there is its needs to be user friendly and intuitive. If you have to continually think about how to use the software then this is pointless and you will a lot of time being wasted here as well as becoming very frustrated. Unfortunately it is a sad fact that a number of software providers really do not consider their end users much.

Help and support
Ok so here I assume that you have some knowledge of using computers and software but admittedly were not all experts. What do the software providers give as standard if you were to buy into their software? Do you get phone technical support, email or manuals or even an online portal where you could search for answers to your questions? Research this bit carefully as once you have bought into the software you need to know that support isn’t very far.

I hope this helps a number of you plan your new dream kitchen, best of luck to all of you.
