I’m an interior designer and I frequently do kitchen designs as well. I only use sketchup, but I’m also stubborn and old, and not willing to shell out more money for programs I have to relearn. The other designers I know of, and have asked, mainly use Chief Architect for their designs and drafts. If you’re specifically looking into kitchen design then 20/20 is an industry standard as well. Of course there’s AutoCAD and Revit, they are industry standards. If you ever want to pursue design further professionally at a firm, you should know these programs. I use Sketchup because it’s incredibly flexible and pretty powerful for what it is. Getting drawings done in Layout is a bit clunky and slow, so you have to be careful how large and complex your model is, otherwise you’ll sit there forever waiting for it to load. I use an extension called Sketch Cuisine by Mario Chabot. I draw a line, click a few buttons in the extension window, put in some info and voila, I have a cabinet fully formed with counters. I can even open the cabinet. He also makes a window and door extension that has made my life much easier and modelling much faster. That being said, I would ask around in the interior design subreddit as well. More on reddit.com
