I’ve tried a few programs and a few apps, and I’ve not been able to figure out the software. IKEA is the best I’ve found. Even if you aren’t buying IKEA cabinets, you can use their online program to get a pretty good idea. It has some limitations, but you learn to work around them. Beyond that, I find my trusty grid paper is easiest for the early planning :) Good luck!

Oh and something I did when trying to lay out a bathroom... cut out your fixtures on the grid paper in a rectangle that represents the amount of space it will take up. So I researched all the clearances etc required. Then I could just move the pieces around on the grid paper with the walls drawn on. Saved me from re-drawing every time. Though I still ended up with probably a hundred drawings :D Hopefully that makes sense lol!
