check the sample kitchens on various large cabinet makers websites. Kraftmaid....merillat....durasupreme.ample assembled kitchens Are at IKEA. Sometimes the lowes and h depot kitchen people will look at a preliminary layout on graph paper that you bring in and give you a computer model ....and price it if you know a wood , stain , and door style. If you want the whole thing designed without much of your input ....you would go to a freestanding kitchen design shop .....they will charge , For design, but can deliver you a turnkey end result. Different folks have varying time and interest levels in a kitchen project, certainly. Complete free service for a full design? Have not heard of that.

Attach a measured scale diagram of your kitchen to your post, as well as pictures as it exists. Divulge a REALISTIC non HGTV fiction budget, plus a list of DIY skills that you bring to the table. If that is beyond you? (It isn't beyond anyone who is really motivated to change!) Then you are going to need actual paid help.

Designers do not work for free, unless they are working with a local charity. They typically will give you a free phone call or appointment to discuss your project goals, and give you a ballpark estimate for those kitchen remodel goals. (15-30K for a tweak keeping a lot of what exists, 30-50K, lower end remodel, 50-70K mid end, 70-100K upper mid, 100-200K upper end, 200K+ Houzz level) Then they will show you projects that they have done that fit inside your budget. . Then you pay a pro-rated retainer fee that applies to the work that they will need to do for you. Then they design for you. Once they get paid.

I completely agree that you get what you pay for and if course designers should get paid for their work. my husband and I are quite Hands-On, we are willing to do the demolition ourselves and are comfortable hiring people separately for the jobs that need to be done, such as electricians and plumbers and backsplash installers, etc
I was just looking for some starting point in ideas from here. I'm attaching pictures.

The biggest thing would be the window. Is it a realistic point to change to French doors ....otherwise change the size so you can run cabinets/counters along that wall further than what you have. The pantry is quite small....that space would be compensated for if you ran continuous storage along window wall and even turned the corner where pantry is . Just depends on budget and what you want to do.

What are you thinking about doing? Gutting? New appliances? New cabinets? Changing layout? New island? Lighting? Etc... Then Houzzers can probably start from there with you providing a drawing of the current space that includes windows and where things are.

A Diagram and Budget are both still needed.

We need a specific kitchen measured diagram. And A general diagram of the house as a whole shows how the kitchen relates to the house, as well as the traffic pathways that have to be accounted for. That step down for instance. It really can’t be eliminated, and it’s a safety issue. So a strategy has to be developed to deal with that if you are doing a gut redo.

A Budget is needed, because different suggestions will be made for a 20K Budget vs a 100K budget. Like changing that too low window, which involves inside and outside the house changes, and might not happen on a DIY 20K IKEA budget . Unless those big changes are done in stages, over time, and that is one of the first changes that are made.

We also need a self assessment of handiness. And don’t be like the poster trying to spray their cabinets with a new gun and thinks that it all uses the same tip and pressure simply because it’s “paint”! LOL! Don’t overstate your experience. If you don’t own an air compressor, say so. If you never used a router, say so. If wiring scares you, say so! You can save lots of money with DIY. But you can also COST yourself lots of money if you confuse a nutsy scary never-do-this Pin with something with that should actually be done and last more than 6 minutes.
