The first and one of the most important steps in a kitchen renovation project is the design and planning phase. You may hire the best installer to put together the kitchen or may be a handy person, but if your design is poor or does not account for the size of the appliances, the location of the plumbing, outlets, windows and doors, your dream kitchen project may quickly turn into a nightmare.

At Virginia Kitchens, we provide design and planning services that include consultations on how to optimize your kitchen space, which appliances to use and how to situate them, best counter top materials and backsplash, taking measurements and designing your kitchen with IKEA Home Planner 3D tool. You will be able to see your kitchen in 3D and change various materials, colors, surfaces, etc. until you are completely satisfied with your new kitchen design.

The final output of our kitchen design service is a ready to use kitchen plan that includes the following elements:

• Preview of each of the wall in your kitchen with cabinets and appliances
• Top view with measurements so that the installer can situate the various pieces
• Complete list of all materials that will be needed for the kitchen installation
• A total cost for materials that is payable to IKEA
• A project number that you will use to refer to your kitchen plan when you order your materials at any IKEA store or over the phone.
