See your kitchen or bathroom remodel before you hire a contractor.
Kitchens and bathrooms are the most expensive rooms to change and the hardest to undo. Deciding what you want before the first quote keeps the conversation with a contractor short and the quotes comparable.

Short answer
You can see a kitchen or bathroom remodel before hiring anyone by uploading a photo of the room to Remodeled AI and comparing styles on it: cabinet colors, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting. It takes about a minute per design and is free to start. The result is a visual concept to show a contractor, not a plan, a measurement or a price.
Decisions worth making first
- Paint or replace. See the cabinets you have in a new color before deciding they need to go. Repainting and new hardware is a fraction of the cost of new cabinets.
- Light or dark. Counters, cabinets and floors read very differently in your room’s light than in a showroom.
- How much pattern. Try plain and patterned tile on the same wall before committing to something you will see every day.
- One room or the whole look. Run the kitchen and the nearest bathroom in the same style to see whether it holds together.
How to do it
- Photograph the room. Stand in the doorway with the lights on and use your phone’s normal 1x lens. Clear the counters first so the design isn’t built around clutter.
- Pick the room type and a style. Remodel is designed to keep the layout and windows and change the finishes. Compare three or four styles.
- Change one thing at a time. On a paid plan, Brush lets you paint over just the backsplash or the cabinet fronts and say what should go there, and Edit changes one thing you describe.
- Save two or three finalists. They stay in your Library beside the original photo. Download them to share.
What to bring to a contractor
Bring the original photo, the design you chose, and a short list of what changes: cabinets painted or replaced, counter material, tile, fixtures, lighting. Ask each contractor to quote that same list. A picture of the result you want removes most of the guessing from a first meeting.
What a design can’t tell you
It can’t tell you what the work costs, whether a wall is load-bearing, where plumbing and wiring can move, or what your local code requires. Layout changes such as moving a sink or adding an island need a measured plan from a designer or contractor. The materials in a design are a look to match, not specific products.
What it costs
A free account with starter credits is enough to try a style or two on one room. Basic ($13 a month, or $91 a year) adds Edit and Brush, which is what most people want for a kitchen or bathroom. Details are on the pricing page.
Common questions
- Is there an app to see what my kitchen remodel will look like?
- Yes. Remodeled AI redesigns a photo of your own kitchen in the style you choose and lets you compare it with the room now. It works on the web and iPhone and is free to start.
- Can I change only the cabinets or the backsplash?
- Yes, on a paid plan. Brush changes only the area you paint over, and Edit changes one thing you describe, leaving the rest of the room alone.
- Will the design match what a contractor can build?
- It shows a direction, not a specification. A contractor will tell you what fits your space, plumbing and budget, and the finished room will differ in its details.
- Does it work for a small bathroom?
- Yes. Shoot from the doorway so as much of the room as possible is in frame. Very wide-angle shots are the usual cause of odd results.
