"An online kitchen design tool can help you avoid potential design flaws."

Using an online kitchen design tool is a great way to see how the main colors and materials in your conceptual kitchen design work together before you make it final.

Most kitchens (probably yours as well) fit into to one of the following layout categories:

• In-Line (One Wall)

• Galley (Corridor)

• L-Shaped

• U-Shaped

An online design application will let you get a sense of how the various elements in a kitchen setting work together, and that can help you head off unforeseen disappointments with your overall scheme.

I like the online kitchen application by Armstrong because it lets you see how different cabinet finishes play off other materials in a virtual kitchen environment.

For example, in addition to the kitchen cabinetry, the application allows you to view walls, counter tops and floors in a variety of finishes and colors. Seeing how the materials play off each other within the whole kitchen environment is important for constructing an overall interior design scheme that works for your kitchen. By toggling different material on and off you can see what works and what doesn’t. It’s kind of like looking into the future and having the power to change it.

Ultimately, that’s the beauty of designing a kitchen online. You can get a clearer picture of things before they happen. All without spending a dime!
