Lessons Learned from Planner Results

Layout Problems Aren’t Just Annoying

86% of people said their kitchen layout wasn’t efficient. That’s not a small thing—it makes cooking, cleaning, and gathering harder every single day.

If your sink’s in the wrong place or your prep zone is cramped, you’ll end up avoiding the space. And if the layout’s bad, new finishes won’t fix how it feels to live there.

Same story in the bathroom. 64% said the layout was off, and over 80% reported poor ventilation—which can lead to moisture damage and mold.

You Should Like the Space You Live In

Only 40% of planner users said they actually enjoy their kitchen or bath. That’s a huge deal, especially in the rooms you use the most.

In bathrooms, 83% said their surfaces were hard to clean. In kitchens, 43% said the same—and most reported damaged or worn cabinets.

It’s not just about aesthetics. These things add time to your routines and frustration to your day.

Lifestyle Fit Is Just as Important as Design

78% of kitchen users said they’d entertain more if the space worked better or felt less embarrassing. That’s not vanity—it’s about how your home supports your life.

In bathrooms, the same number said they want better accessibility. That means safer layouts, easier storage, and future-friendly design.

When a room doesn’t fit how you live, it drains energy. Good design gives that energy back.

Planning Now Pays Off Later

Everyone who used the kitchen planner or bathroom planner had lived in their home for at least six months. Most plan to stay for three years or more.

These aren’t flip projects. They’re smart, long-term investments.

And in neighborhoods where many homes are already updated, falling behind can hurt resale. Planner users in those areas could expect a 55–60% return on thoughtful upgrades.
