Online kitchen planner

It can be useful to first start with an online DIY kitchen planner which can give you the capability to plan and visualise how your kitchen will look. Set out the shapes and structure of the ideas you have in mind, and you can see first-hand if it works as you expect it to.

Inset the doors and windows into your online kitchen planner and build around these features to give you a realistic blueprint of your kitchen and where elements can fit.

You should also add into your plan the electrics that you intend to have around your DIY kitchen, this can help you to plan ahead and ensure that there are sufficient plug sockets and outlets for your kitchen. By doing this at an early stage of your DIY kitchen project, you can prevent any issues arising that leave you with not enough electric points or any potential hazards in your kitchen.
