Mistakes When Planning Your Ikea Kitchen
Ikea kitchen remodeling project
You know what they say… failing to plan, is like planning to fail. 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 is no other way. 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!
The starting point when you are prepared to start your planning should weigh heavy on the overall kitchen design, the Ikea Kitchen Planner Software is that starting point.
If you haven’t done so already, go to Ikea and download the Ikea Kitchen Planner Software here:
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.
Now that you’re comfortable with the software, it’s time to get some accurate measurements of your existing kitchen. If you’re not comfortable with measuring the kitchen yourself, you can hire a service to come out and do it for you, or enlist the help of a friend or family member that’s handy.
When you get your measurements done, it’s time to do your first design on 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’re putting the cabinets in using the software, be sure that you specify the finish, door style, plinth and each of the cabinet parts exactly how you want them so your estimate 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 you are just not quite happy with your initial design, save it and try doing it one more time. You may also want to try a layout that’s completely different from your first effort just for the fun of it. I did the same thing when i did my kitchen design. I ended up doing 3-4 designs and picked the best one of the group for my final plan.
Research is key in the next steps, if you have your initial Ikea Kitchen Plan ready then you are ready to move on to researching such things as lighting, appliances, flooring and more.
