ne major aspect of home design – whether you’re designing a garden, a closet, the interior of an entryway or an entire kitchen renovation – involves envisioning the result before you get started. Of course every project involves give and take once it’s underway and might call for some adjustments and changes as it progresses. But the better you can envision a design from the start the more likely you are to end up with a space that provides what you need both functionally and visually. When it comes to a kitchen renovation, for example, there are few things more discouraging than going to the expense and effort of installing new cabinetry or appliances only to discover that the end result doesn’t look the way you hoped. Of course by then, it’s too late to change your mind.
If you’re planning a kitchen renovation project this spring, there’s no need to go into it blind. At our Atherton Appliance & Kitchens location in Redwood City, we can help you envision what your new kitchen will look like thanks to design techniques including 3D Rendering. With 3D Rendering you can get a visual sense of a number of variables such as how different cabinetry choices will fit into your available space, what colors will work best together in your kitchen, how to choose from differing lighting options. The above photo of a 3D rendering we did for one of our clients will give you a good grasp of how accurately we are able to show you your future kitchen.
Whether you’re already paying a trusted designer or architect, are seeking a designer to help with your project, or know what you want and simply need assistance, we invite you to take advantage of our free design services. And if you’re planning to install one of our cabinetry lines, we can help you envision how each brand will look in the kitchen, and how new appliances and cabinetry will fit together. Our four distinct cabinetry lines satisfy a variety of needs and budgets, and within these brands we can help you design a kitchen that will match traditional, transitional, or contemporary décor – all with the aid of a design tool that enables you to see what each brand would look like in advance.
3D rendering has gained popularity as a design tool for a variety of reasons. Most important, it allows both the homeowner and the builder to get a realistic idea of what a kitchen will look like based on preliminary designs. Sometimes seeing the design you’ve settled on in 3D will highlight something that needs to be changed. You might think a particular kitchen island would look great in the center of the room, for example, but once you see your preliminary vision rendered in 3D you might discover that the island is too large, or perhaps it decreases the efficiency of movement between the prep area and the range. You might find that the cabinets you had your heart set on give a heavy, over-done look to the kitchen, or that a particular countertop color doesn’t match the walls as you thought. You might even get inspired to try something new if you check out a more contemporary design or a cabinetry brand you hadn’t considered.
The beauty of 3D Rendering is its ease – you don’t have to scrap your entire design and start all over whenever you want to make a change. Thanks to 3D Rendering software programs, our design staff (who have been specially trained to use this design tool) can apply quick modifications, additions, or subtractions to your design with just a few clicks of the keyboard and mouse. They can change the wall, cabinet, or countertop colors, the lighting, spaces, angles, and furnishings – all so you can envision what each option would look like. They can even apply theoretical decorations to your kitchen.
