what to use for kitchen and bathroom design

[rampantreaper]

ok, as part of my job i am looking to design kitchens and bathroom layout. will be so much easier for me to do it than getting howdens out and having to wait for a plan to be emailed to me and me passing it on to the customer. howdens have a thing whereby they stick all the measurements in and it comes up with a design.
just looking for a basic program, nowt flash, dont want to waste hundreds on it if i can avoid it!!

Google Sketchup.

Done.

There's a library of models etc, some of which will be standard kitchen units, standard sizes.

All you have to do is survey your kitchen, bung those sizes into CAD and then import some standard units for size reference.

Alternatively, I think one of the big stores has a thing where you can play on their site.

I swear you earn commission on Google sketchup downloads.

I used it for my living room. I reckon its ace.

Wish I did, I'm poor as f**k lately.

I love it, just got into it (recommended on here). It is brilliant and pretty easy to use, I am a fat fingered non artistic chimp tbf and my creations look not half bad.

Doing our living room next to get some options.

Might be worth looking into something like Planit-Fusion.
