Is there an app to help me redesign my kitchen?

Ready to take the next steps toward your dream kitchen remodel? The team at Kitchen Magic has a little secret for you. Why not kickstart your kitchen remodel journey from your cozy couch? Our free Kitchen Visualizer Tool, along with similar apps, lets you play around with different kitchen layouts, dive into designer-curated collections, and even mix and match our top cabinet door styles, countertop materials, backsplash tiles, and more.

 

Houzz Interior Design Ideas

Houzz is often regarded as the interior designers' version of Wikipedia. It is packed full of photos and ideas for home remodeling for every style, from eclectic to industrial. Just as with the website, you can save your favorite pictures in your "Ideabooks".  The search function is a breeze to use. You can search for kitchen photos and even specify the style you're looking for such as modern, traditional, or farmhouse. You'll also come across remodeling ideas from other users and renovation pros. You can even ask your own questions, gather additional information, and shop for kitchen appliances, decor and more. If you're planning a kitchen renovation, this is a must-have house remodeling app. It is available for both iOS and Android.
