When it comes to home renovations, having detailed floor plans can be incredibly helpful. However, not every homeowner has those on hand, especially when considering a remodel of an older space. This was the case with a recent client who reached out to us for help in transforming her kitchen. She didn’t have any floor plans available—just a few photos of the existing space. But that wasn’t a problem for us.
At our company, we’re equipped to work directly from photos to create detailed 3D renderings of any room. This allows our clients to visualize their dream space without the need for complex architectural drawings.
This is the photo of the original kitchen.
The first version
Our client provided us with some inspiration photos and specific details she wanted to incorporate into her new kitchen. She envisioned open shelvings, vertical boards, and black café appliances with bronze hardware. She also selected Sherwin Williams’ Rosemary SW 6187 for the cabinets—a rich, earthy green—, Arizona Tile Calacatta Maywood for the countertop and wanted warm wood tones for the floor and the shelves to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
With these elements in mind, we began the project by creating the first 3D rendering of the kitchen, using Rosemary SW 6187 for the cabinets.
The second version
This initial version was a great starting point, and as we continued to collaborate, the client provided feedback and requested adjustments.
For the second version of the kitchen rendering, we introduced Sherwin Williams’ Quietude (SW 6212) for the cabinets—a neutral green with a cool, light hue and a complex blue-gray undertone. This subtle shift in color gave the kitchen a fresh, airy feel while still maintaining the soothing, earthy vibe the client wanted.
In addition to the cabinet color change, we also reimagined the range hood, rendering it in a warm wood finish that added a touch of natural elegance to the space. To complement this, we replaced the two cabinets flanking the range hood with open shelves crafted from the same warm wood.
This second version offered a different take on the original design, allowing the client to explore how a few strategic changes could transform the overall look and feel of her kitchen.
The third version
For the third version of the kitchen rendering, we opted for a deeper, more sophisticated color palette by introducing Sherwin Williams’ Retreat SW 6207 for the cabinets. This rich, muted green brought a sense of depth and tranquility to the space, perfectly balancing the modern and rustic elements in the design.
To further refine the look, we decided to bring back the two cabinets on either side of the wood range hood, now with doors, providing a more traditional and cohesive appearance. This change also offered the client more concealed storage, which was important for maintaining a clean and organized kitchen.
In this iteration, we also replaced the original open shelvings above the range with floating shelves crafted from the same warm wood as the range hood.
The final version
In the fourth and final version of the kitchen rendering, we made a subtle change by replacing two of the floating shelves by the window with traditional upper cabinets. This adjustment was designed to offer the client additional closed storage space while maintaining the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and providing a more structured and organized look.
This kitchen remodel journey illustrates the power of 3D visualization in transforming ideas into reality. By starting with just a few photos and inspiration images, we were able to collaborate closely with our client to create a space that perfectly reflects her vision and needs. Each version brought new possibilities to life, allowing for thoughtful adjustments and refinements until we arrived at the perfect design.
