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.

I’m a kitchen designer for a private company using 20/20. I saw there was an affiliate program with Home Depot and they also use 20/20 but I am curious if anyone knows the process. Do they use a specific catalog in 20/20 or do they use the standard catalogs that come with the software and match it to products from their vendors.

Also would I be able to make a design on 20/20 and then submit it to a Home Depot designer and they take it from there to give me the look I want after taking in home measurements? No amount of information is too much. Thanks!
