# Kitchen Design Software - Planning your kitchen from A to Z

## **What is kitchen design software?**

In this technological age, every aspect of our lives is moving rapidly forward and even designing kitchens has become far easier with the help of specialised software design tools.

![caesarstone modern kitchen metropolitan collection kitchen software](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-modern-kitchen-metropolitan-collection-kitchen-software-2.jpg?width=1240&name=caesarstone-modern-kitchen-metropolitan-collection-kitchen-software-2.jpg)*Kitchen design software can allow you to experiment with different materials, such as combining maple cabinetry with dark quartz worktops.*

Undertaking a project such as designing a kitchen means managing a huge array of options, after all, there are many things to consider: which appliances to introduce or remove from the current kitchen set-up; whether to have an island, a breakfast bar and/or a second sink; what material should the worktop and cabinetry be? The list is almost endless. With all this and much more to think about, it’s advantageous to use custom-built kitchen design software, which can facilitate this process tremendously, both for the novice and the professional alike.

Caesarstone are at the cutting edge of this technological development in order to provide a high quality representation of their products to users of their kitchen design software; Caesarstone’s efforts have yielded, ['The Visualiser'](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/online-visualiser/). This consumer tool allows ordinary homeowners, with no prior kitchen design knowledge, to experiment with design ideas using the software. The planning of the kitchen, the look, the materials and colours, it is easy to swap between different Caesarstone products instantaneously, until the perfect style is realised. 

## **Making life easier**

**![kitchen worktops](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-modern-kitchen-metropolitan-collection-kitchen-software.jpg?width=1240&name=caesarstone-modern-kitchen-metropolitan-collection-kitchen-software.jpg)***The Visualiser offers the chance to experiment with the Modern Kitchen layout, and try different Caesarstone quartz surfaces.*

One of the key advantages of using free kitchen design software, like the Visualiser, is its ease of use and the intuitive navigation throughout the design process. Start by choosing whether the preferred look is for a ‘classic kitchen’ or a ‘modern kitchen’ design. Choosing the modern kitchen design will not only give the kitchen template a different cabinetry option but also provides every possible colour in the Caesarstone palette, amongst other differences. Using the Visualiser for the classic kitchen design has a template featuring traditional cabinetry and a statement kitchen island, whilst still providing the rich array of possible colours, this is ideal for the more conservative kitchen consumer.

**![caesarstone traditional kitchen supernatural collection](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/caesarstone-traditional-kitchen-supernatural-kitchen-software.jpg?width=1240&name=caesarstone-traditional-kitchen-supernatural-kitchen-software.jpg)**Quartz worktops from the [Supernatural collection](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/search-results/?q=supernatural) are combined with traditional cabinetry in this room concept using the Classic Kitchen design.

Once the classic kitchen look or the more modern design has been decided upon, then key elements of the kitchen design can be mixed and matched within the Visualiser: worktop, island, backsplash, flooring and cabinet fronts. This design tool is a great way to get started on a kitchen design project, even when there will be collaboration with an experienced kitchen designer.

Using the Visualiser can really break the ice when first consulting a professional, whether they are kitchen designers, architects or interior designers, who can then take these kitchen design ideas, developed using the Visualiser and transplant them onto more sophisticated and specialised software.

The software's features allow the final, simulated design to be saved, emailed or shared to those involved in the project, therefore meaning that it is a truly useful design tool.

![marble kitchen worktops](https://blog.caesarstone.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/articad-example-main.jpg?width=1240&name=articad-example-main.jpg)*High level rendering and detailed design is possible using dedicated kitchen design software, such as ArtiCAD*

There are a number of kitchen design software developers, [including ArtiCAD, who have been collaborating closely with premium kitchen brands](https://www.caesarstone.co.uk/press-releases/). Starting with the Visualiser, and then moving onto detailed designs with more advanced CAD software, can turn the consumer’s vision of their layout, cabinetry and appliance positioning from a dream into a reality.

## **Game changer**

This new development in free kitchen design software has really begun to change the way kitchen planning occurs. When there are so many things to think about, including complicated and pinpoint logistics, to have the ability to use a tool like the Visualiser saves both time and money. It has now never been easier to help empower homeowners to attain their dream of a kitchen to be proud of.

The Caesarstone Visualiser can also assist commissioned architects and designers. By using the homeowner’s initial vision on their choices on colour palette and look and feel of the overall kitchen, the architect and kitchen designer can then develop this, using their own broader architectural design platform for that professional approach. This is especially necessary when there are structural changes required for a planned kitchen refurbishment, such as extension, a process that is becoming more and more common.
