Bedroom / Kitchen design software? My brother in law has just started his own business, he fits custom kitchens and bedroom cupboards etc. He would like to design them first on the computer to give the customer a view of how it will look like when finished. We have tried other home design softwares, but they are too complicated and take to long. I am looking for a simple software where we can just set the sizes of the cupboards and the positions and get a 3D view of it. Also i would like to be able to upload specific cupboard designs on to it e.g. colour, patterns, wood grains etc. So if you know of any good software for this please let me know. You help is much appreciated.
New Kitchen - Design query. wood units on wood floor? dilema.? We are currently choosing a kitchen to be installed in our 80's semi. Our initial idea was to have an oak laminate floor put on the entire ground floor (lounge/hall/kitchen/dining area) to create unity between all the rooms and keep dusty down etc. Glass doors to nable light to travel through (dark house). Now we are attempting to choose a kiting suite and ae stuck ! Would wooden faced doors look odd aginst a wooden floor? concernerned it way look to woody - like a sauna? Merge / clash? Should we go for painted wood type or plain doors to complement /contrast with the flooring? Or shoudl we not laminate the entire downstairs and have traditional black / cream tiles on kitchen floor to enable wood units to be fitted? Thus breaking up the "untiy / flow" of having the whole floor the same? We are trying to consider resale potential of the house (in the future) and trying to make it as light and large feeling as possible along with us having to like it obviously. Many Thanks
Kitchen design bids and contracts.... Question for designers or contractors....? If you're a kitchen designer or contractor: I've been a kicthen / bath designer for 4 years and have never quite mastered the skill of writing contracts / bids for my clients. They always seem to find crazy loopholes in my proposals to get free services and products at the end of the job. The company I work for doesn't have a standard contract for clients to sign - I'm looking to see if anyone out there has an airtight format they use.

How much would you pay for a set of Kitchen Design Drawings ? I am a kitchen designer, and an interior decorator that is looking to do some work on the side. I have alot of people that ask me , if they can buy my drawings and not get a kitchen through me, but i don't even know where to start for how much to charge them for a set of drawings. i was wondering if i could get someones imput. Added Details - i know you can go to Home depot and get your kitchen designed there. i worked at the Home depot for two years doing that. But in all honesty anyone with real talent never stays at the depot. I mean really creative drawings. Also No one really good will give out the measurements. even when i worked at the depot. i would never give people my plans, i would give them a pretty picture that is it. never the correct measurements.
Is the Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff as good as it looks? I'm thinking about buying Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff.

I enjoy designing my houses (although I'm not good at it) but I hardly have space on my computer. Can somebody who has Kitchen & Bath Stuff tell me some about it? Should I get it?
The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff .. Help ..? I've just began downloading "The Sims 2: Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff" on Mininova.com and just waiting on it finishing, might take a couple of hours. I'm just wondering if the serial code will be in the readme file attached or in one of the other files, flt-tskb.bin or flt-tskb.cue. Also, I don't have a clue on how to install once finished. I read somewhere that with stuff packs, you mount first image with daemon tools then run exe. Is Daemon Tools a downloadable program? ???? Thanks :)
Design kitchen color scheme around white stove and fridge? A white fridge and stove are coming today. We are just re-coloring the kitchen (walls, cabinets, flooring) temporarily and inexpensively until we re-vamp to re-sell years later. I'd love to do a modern mocha muave slate color scheme, but I think the white will be too stark a contrast. The countertop stays for now- a marbly laminate that ranges from a beige to mocha, with mauve undertones. How do I tie in that mix with white? To what extent can we use modern neutrals? Thank you!
kitchen and bath design help? My husband and I purchased our home last summer. I love the home and location but hate the kitchen and bath. Our home was built in 1957 and I have hardwood floors throughout the house. When we get more settled financially, we plan to remodel both. We have narrowed it down to the following designs.

Can anyone help with kitchen theme design? I have a lot of Coca-Cola kitchen ware and have always wanted to have a 1950's style kitchen. I am moving into a house where I can make this work. The cabinets are a dark wood that I am considering painting, things are edged in chrome, and the back wall of the kitchen is a shiny material that is about the color of lime sherbet. This wall is visible from the living room and I'm not sure that painting this wall is even an option since it is slick and shiny. I'd like to keep the color, but how can I tie it in with red, black and white dishes?
