Can I keep my cabinets and change the doors?

Yes. Mark the cabinet boxes as staying, then describe new doors, hardware, or paint. Compare the delivered render with the source photo before using its planning range.

What if I want to move the sink?

You can. Describe where the sink should move and leave its current position unprotected. If the delivered render shows the move, the plumbing work appears in the cost list.

Does it work on a small kitchen?

Yes. Use a photo that shows the room edges, cabinet runs, and major appliances. Mark the features that should stay before choosing a direction.

Can I show this to a contractor?

Yes. The before-and-after can help you explain the direction and visible scope. The ranges are AI estimates, so a contractor still has to measure, specify, and price the job.

My kitchen does not fit in one photo.

Photograph it from more than one corner and keep the images in the same project. Apply the same direction to each view, then compare the results because separate AI renders can disagree on details.

See your kitchen renovated before the work begins

Upload one kitchen photo or several angles, choose a direction, and mark the layout, appliances, plumbing, or cabinets you want to keep. RenoLuma returns a before-and-after and a planning range for each visible change.

Honey-oak kitchen before renovation, with the doorway, window, cabinet runs, appliances, and peninsula visible.

The same kitchen after a warm renovation, with cream cabinets, stone counters, wood floors, and the original doorway, window, appliance wall, and peninsula.

Drag the divider to compare this RenoLuma example. Open a marker to see estimated materials, labor, and a total. Check the doorway, window, appliance wall, and peninsula against the source photo.

Mark what should stay in place

Moving plumbing, appliances, openings, or cabinet runs can change the kitchen scope quickly. Mark what should stay, then compare the delivered render with the source photo.

The sink, range, and fridge
Mark the sink, range, and fridge if their positions should stay. RenoLuma treats those positions as protected and checks the finished image against the source photo.
The cabinet runs and the peninsula
Keep the cabinet runs and peninsula when the current layout works. Then you can compare paint, doors, counters, and hardware without adding a new layout to the scope.
The window and the doorway
Changing an opening can add structural work. RenoLuma checks the window, doorway, and surrounding wall against the original before it creates the cost list.

What the pictured changes may cost

In this pictured kitchen, cabinet replacement is the largest line item. Keeping the cabinet boxes changes the range more than changing the style direction.

These planning ranges apply to the pictured room and its visible changes. Your photo gets its own list. A contractor still has to measure and quote the work.

One cabinet decision changes the range

Both examples start with the kitchen at the top of the page. One direction paints the existing cabinet boxes; the other replaces them.

In these examples, painting the cabinets runs $2.5k to $5.5k. Replacing them runs $35k to $65k. That choice accounts for the largest difference between the two cost lists.

Compare both directions on the same room before deciding which scope is worth pricing with a contractor.

The same kitchen after a smaller refresh, with painted cabinets, new hardware and backsplash, and the original appliances, floor, doorway, window, and peninsula.
