Franbern you can get specialised kitchen design software.

You could both start by googling what you want and study the websites. They include articles reviewing a range of packages.

I'm probably thinking of Computer Aided Design rather than VR? However, whatever it is, I'd like to know if anyone has any idea of what it might cost? Also, is it widely available? I don't know where to start looking.

I do love that virtually home program. I'd to do that in my home....

Could I use one of these programme for a kitchen design? I think that I would like to have white base doors and black wall ones, but not sure if this would work. Cannot do it the other way round as I will be keeping my existing (non integral) dishwasher and washing machine, which are both white.

Want one of those black sparkly worktops and thought of black cupboard doors above that and a black fridge/freezer.

Would be great if i could see this in VR.

There are computer programs that you can do this with. One is called Sketch Up. There are free versions which do have some restrictions or you can buy the upgraded one. Not sure of the price but it might be worth looking at.

We are buying a house which has no kerb appeal. We have ideas as to what to do to enhance it but would love to see it in VR and to have the ability to swap and change designs and colours such as shown on recent TV programmes. Has anyone done this and what did it cost? Can’t imagine it’s cheap.
