Ikea Kitchen Mistakes When Planning
As the old saying goes… 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.
If you don’t plan your project with attention to detail from the beginning, you’re destined to fail. This is the only way. It is highly critical that you start your project on a good note, with that said be sure to take all the time you need to be positive that your kitchen design is correct!
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:
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 do not want to measure the kitchen by yourself, get the help of your family or friends, you can even hire out to a service company to do it for you.
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.
Once you believe you have your room layout correct, the next thing we want to do place the cabinets into your new room using the software.
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 not quite comfortable with your design, save this design and start a new one. In some cases you might choose to totally change your layout to something completely different than what you started with. I did that when I designed my kitchen. I ended up choosing the best one from a group of 4 designs i started off with for my final layout.
Ok now that you have your initial Ikea Kitchen Plan complete, it is time to get down to some research, you will have to do a lot of research on things such as appliances, flooring materials, cabinets and counter tops.
