We are working on designing a kitchen from scratch in a house with tons of openings, such as 3 doors and 2 windows.

I have been trying to predesign my kitchen wants before contacting people about cabinets, and most of the included design tools from companies wont design ours because it doesn't know what to do with all the openings.

I want to see what design software people are using especially if there may be some that are free to use and would provide a 3D model and a schematic to use for ordering.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I am not having much luck with custom cabinets in my area (Tacoma area of WA) other than Lowes and Home Depot, have dabbled some in looking at RTA and looked a bit into IKEA but I am not in love with IKEA, although props to them for having one of the best design tools. So any recommendations would be appreciated.

Looking to do cabinets, countertops, and appliances in my kitchen (basically a remodel) and am being quoted $19-23k by Home Depot estimator. Never having gone through them, any idea how close these estimates usually are? Most stuff is low to mid end.

Thanks!
