Furnishing
Kitchen planner
Lay out a single-wall, galley, L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with an optional island, pin the sink and hob, and get worktop and module lists.
The Kitchen planner generates a kitchen from your room size and layout choice. It fits standard 60 cm modules, places the sink, hob and fridge, checks aisle clearances and lists the worktop pieces and units you need. It is rules-based, with no AI model, and you can open the result in the Studio to keep designing.
Steps
- Under Layout, choose Single wall, Galley, L-shaped or U-shaped. A note explains when each suits.
- Under Room size, type the Width and Depth of the room in metres.
- Turn Add an island with seating and Wall cabinets on or off. A galley has no island option.
- Under Sink and hob, turn on Choose where the sink goes or Choose where the hob goes and use the slider to set its position along the wall, measured from the left end as you face it.
- Under Finishes, pick Cabinet fronts, Worktop, Island colour, Wall paint and Flooring.
- Read the results below the 3D preview: worktop run, base and wall units, room area, any clearance warnings, the Worktop pieces table and the Module schedule.
- Click Edit this kitchen in Studio to open it as a new Studio project.
Tips and limits
- Pin the sink and hob where the water supply and cooker point already are; moving services is often the most expensive part of a kitchen.
- Worktop slabs are kept to 3 m or less. The area shown is before sink and hob cut-outs.
- Warnings appear when an aisle or island clearance is tight. A common guide is about 1.0 to 1.2 m (3 ft 3 in to 4 ft) between runs or around an island.
- The room is a simple rectangle. For an irregular room, draw it in the Studio and furnish it from the Kitchen category, or with Smart Layout.
- Hand the kitchen to the Studio before closing the tab; the planner does not save its own settings.
