Kitchen configurator

Developing a 3D kitchen configurator isn't just a visual tool; it's a way to dramatically simplify and speed up the process of selling custom kitchens. This online configurator allows customers to assemble their future kitchen directly in their browser: choose the layout, fronts, materials, colors, and hardware, and immediately see the final result in 3D. Even before speaking with a manager, customers understand what their kitchen will look like and what the final configuration includes.

Essentially, it's an interactive 3D configurator integrated into a manufacturer's or retailer's website, transforming an abstract idea into a concrete, visual, and understandable product. Instead of lengthy consultations and verbal explanations, clients receive a visual result and confidence in their choice. This tool is especially popular with companies that sell custom kitchens and furniture: manufacturers, furniture factories, showrooms, dealers, and online stores. The 3D configurator takes on a significant portion of the manager's routine work — helping clients determine their specifications, filtering out unsuitable options, and guiding them to a completed order even before the first phone call.

For businesses, a 3D configurator solves several key tasks at once:
It clearly demonstrates the product, shortens the path from interest to purchase, reduces the number of questions and revisions during the approval stage, and improves the quality of incoming orders. At AVADA MEDIA, we develop 3D kitchen configurators not as "pretty visualizations," but as a practical sales tool — taking into account production logic, product range, prices, restrictions, and real-world customer interaction scenarios. Such a configurator is equally convenient for both the buyer and the team that processes orders every day.

What is a 3D kitchen configurator and how does it work?

The online kitchen configurator is a web-based tool that guides users through the process of creating a kitchen digitally, step by step. Work begins with choosing a basic layout, after which elements are added and modified through an intuitive interface.

The configurator works directly in the browser and does not require any additional software. A good 3D configurator should be compatible with both desktop and mobile devices, allowing users to interact with it from any device without losing its usability or functionality.

This solution is based on a 3D kitchen visualization that updates in real time. When selecting modules, materials, or dimensions, the image updates instantly, allowing you to evaluate the proportions, combination of elements, and overall appearance of the kitchen at every stage of the setup.

What business problems does a 3D kitchen configurator solve?

The configurator accelerates sales and reduces the workload on the team, turning kitchen selection into a convenient online process.

Key business effects:

• Replaces offline showrooms. Users can see options and assemble a kitchen without visiting a showroom, expanding their reach.
• Speeds up managers' work. The completed project with parameters is sent to the manager immediately, reducing application processing time.
• Increases conversion. Interactive selection keeps customers on the site and helps them make decisions faster.
• Reduces order errors. Selection logic eliminates incompatible combinations and size discrepancies.
• Increases the average order value. Customers are more likely to add options and additional elements, seeing the final result in real time.

3D Kitchen Configurator Features

The interactive 3D configurator provides clients with a clear selection interface and immediately generates order data, while businesses benefit from a convenient project management tool.

What can be configured in the configurator:

• Selecting modules and sizes. Selecting furniture elements, arranging them, and fine-tuning the parameters to suit the room.
• Facade and enclosure materials. A selection of actual production materials, including variations in density, coating, and structure.
• Colors and textures. Change shades and textures in real time to evaluate combinations and appearance.
• Fittings and appliances. Adding handles, guides, accessories, and built-in appliances, taking into account the logical placement.
• Change the layout. Rearrange modules, change angles, add or remove elements without losing your settings.
• Cost calculation. Dynamic price calculation based on selected modules, materials, and options.
• Specification export. Generate specifications for production and transfer to managers in a convenient format.
• Website/CRM integration. Project data is transferred to the CRM/ERP, and the 3D furniture configurator is easily integrated into the website.

Technologies and approach to development

Stable operation in the browser is essential for the 3D configurator, so WebGL/Three.js or similar solutions are used to provide high-quality graphics without installing applications.

Optimization is being implemented for various browsers and devices to ensure the configurator loads quickly and runs smoothly. The project's architecture is designed for expansion: new modules, materials, and features can be added without requiring a system overhaul.

Mobile adaptation is also included, ensuring the interface and visualization remain user-friendly on smartphones and tablets. At AVADA MEDIA, this approach is standard for business solutions where speed, stability, and scalability are essential.

Stages of developing a 3D kitchen configurator

Before launch, it's important to structure the process so that the configurator functions as a unified system: from business tasks to the finished product and support.

How development is going:

• Analysis and problem setting. Defining goals, target audience, product range, and business logic. Developing technical specifications and requirements.
• Logic and UX design. Developing a configuration structure, user scenarios, and a user-friendly interface for kitchen assembly.
• 3D Model Preparation. Creation and optimization of 3D models of kitchen units, materials, and textures to ensure visualization quality and performance.
• Configurator development. System assembly, implementation of selection logic, visualization, calculations, and interface interaction.
• Integration and testing. Connecting to the website, CRM/ERP, checking calculation accuracy, compatibility, and operation on different devices.
• Launch and support. Go live, monitor, refine, and maintain as your catalog expands or business processes change.

Cost of developing a 3D kitchen configurator

The cost of developing a 3D kitchen configurator depends on the functionality, level of visualization, and scope of integrations. Below are approximate prices to help you estimate your budget at the outset. The cost of developing a 3D kitchen configurator is calculated individually after clarifying the project's requirements and objectives.

The prices listed are approximate. The final cost of developing a 3D kitchen configurator is calculated individually after analyzing the project and technical requirements.

What does the cost depend on:

• The number of kitchen modules. The more options and combinations, the more complex the selection process and the greater the amount of work.
• Level of detail of 3D models. High-polygon models, complex textures, and realistic materials increase preparation and optimization time.
• Price and specification calculation. Dynamic pricing, material calculation, and specification generation require additional logic and testing.
• Integrations (CRM, ERP, website). Connecting to sales management systems, accounting systems, or a website increases the complexity of the project.
• Mobile device support. Adapting the interface and optimizing visuals for smartphones and tablets requires a separate development phase.
• Admin panel. Having a control panel for managing the catalog, modifications, and project settings adds functionality and value.

Who is the 3D kitchen configurator suitable for?

The 3D configurator is ideal for companies that work with custom kitchens and want to increase sales efficiency, reduce the workload on managers, and improve the quality of order processing.
