Ikea kitchen remodeling project

 

As the old saying goes… 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.

Once you get to a point where you are fairly comfortable with the software and you have a tape measure, it is time to go to the kitchen and get some fairly accurate measurements. 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.

Ok so now we have our measurements ready to go, now you get to play with the planner software and try to do your very first design.

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

When you have the room layout right, the next step is to use the software and place your cabinets into the room you created.

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 design isn’t quite right, save the initial design and try it again. And just for a laugh or two you may want to consider completely changing your layout from what you first layed out. I did the same thing when i did my kitchen design. My final plan ended up being what i thought was the best of the 4 or 5 designs that i started with.

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.
