Preview a kitchen makeover on a photo of your kitchen
Most kitchen refreshes never move the sink. They change the fronts, the worktop, the splashback, the handles and the light, which is what a photo redesign can show. Upload a photo of your kitchen and see it with new finishes while the units, appliances and plumbing stay where they are.
Things you can ask for
- “Sage green cabinet fronts, brass handles and a white handmade-tile splashback”
- “Keep the cabinets, change the worktop to a pale stone look and add under-cabinet lighting”
- “Clear the worktops and make it a calm Japandi kitchen”
- “Matt black handles, warm white walls, keep the floor”
- “Smoked glass pendants over the island”
What can change in the picture, and what stays
- Can change: cabinet fronts and their colour, handles, worktop colour and finish, splashback, wall colour, light fittings, bar stools, blinds and whatever sits on the worktop.
- Stays: the layout of the units, the positions of the sink, hob and appliances, the windows and the doors. The plumbing and the shape of the room are not redesigned.
That matches how most kitchen updates happen in real life. New or resprayed doors, a new worktop and a new splashback usually cost far less than a new layout, and they change the room more than people expect. If you want to move the sink, knock through to the dining room or change the run of units, you need a plan, not a photo; the floor-plan-to-3D studio works from a drawing.
Choosing finishes that work together
Choose the worktop first. It is the most expensive surface per metre and the hardest to change later, so fronts, splashback and handles should follow it. Then limit yourself: one cabinet colour (two at most, darker below and lighter above), one metal for handles, taps and lights, and either a patterned splashback with a plain worktop or the other way round, never both busy.
- Warm whites and greige fronts suit small kitchens with little daylight.
- Deep greens and blues look best with a pale worktop and brass or brushed nickel.
- Slim bar handles or handleless fronts make a run of units read as one surface; knobs and cup handles suit Shaker doors.
- Under-cabinet lighting changes a kitchen more than almost anything else, because it lights the worktop where the eye lands.
Getting a good kitchen result
Photograph from the doorway or the far corner so the whole run of units is in frame, with the worktop and the floor visible, and turn the lights on. Decide what happens to the worktop clutter: Clean & redesign clears it, while Redesign leaves what you mark Keep. Kitchens are full of small detail, so compare the handles, sockets and taps in the result with your room; they are the details most likely to differ.
Before you call a kitchen fitter
A redesign is a picture, not a specification. It gives no door sizes, no worktop lengths and no product names. Use it to agree a direction at home, then take the image to the kitchen company together with your own measurements.
Frequently asked
- Can it change my kitchen layout?
- No. The units, sink, hob and appliances stay where they are in the photo. For a new layout, build the home from a floor plan in the floor-plan-to-3D studio.
- Can I see painted cabinets before I paint them?
- Yes. Ask for a colour, for example “sage green fronts, keep the oak worktop”, and compare before and after with the slider. Colours on a screen are not paint on a door, so test a sample too.
- Will it tell me which worktop or tiles it used?
- No. The specification describes materials, such as a pale stone-look worktop, but the redesign does not identify brands or link to products.
- Does it work in a narrow galley kitchen?
- Yes, though galleys are hard to photograph wide. Stand at one end with the whole length in frame; a close-up of one stretch of units gives the analysis little to work with.
