I have almost finished the process using Home Designer 2026. Totally capable of laying out a kitchen using Barker objects. I also used it to build plans for the entire house for building permits, etc. I very seldom ran into limitations and always for fiddly stuff like modeling the exact trusses I have in the attic. Is that worth an extra $300? Same answer for me when considering whether spending $1K on a video card capable of ray tracing is worth it – they are not 🙂

In either version, be aware that you can configure cabinets in software that Barker can not manufacture. Check the product pages frequently to be sure you’re still in the real world.
