Kitchens.com Creates Virtual Kitchens to Illustrate Elements of Kitchen Design

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 09, 2011

It’s the layout of the kitchen?and not its color or its style?that determines how easy it is to cook, eat and socialize in the kitchen. In the new Common Kitchen Layouts feature, Kitchens.com looks at seven of the most frequently used shapes and explains the pros and cons of each.

CGI photo-realistic renders of seven virtual kitchens show not just the floor plans but also multiple photo-realistic angles of each kitchen.

?Using CGI renders helps homeowners to visualize themselves in the kitchen,? says Kitchens.com editor in chief, Kim Sweet. ?For most people who are remodeling, it?s difficult to imagine how they might use the space just by looking at a floor plan.?

It?s also a tremendous challenge to picture the overall look of a new kitchen based only on color samples and product catalogs. To help homeowners better plan their kitchen remodels, Kitchens.com has begun incorporating virtual kitchens into content throughout the site.

For example, Choosing Color by Style, allows users to try out multiple color schemes in different kitchen styles. The Design Boards section shows visitors how product selections and samples chosen by a designer would look in a typical kitchen.
