The ultimate “disposable” flooring, the advantage of carpet tiles is that they are easily replaceable with wear and tear. They also provide a more “on the fly” kind of flexibility for people who may want to change the tone of the room by changing the tone of the floor. Carpet tiles are also soft.
Of course, cleaning can be a challenge, and buy extra – they will provide easy replacement without having to worry about whether your particular hue is out-of-stock or discontinued.

Hello Helen, Here is a program that you can use to 'visualize' your interior design scheme. It's free to try for 15 days, I have this myself, it's very user friendly. I'm not sure about 'cut out' templates though, I think this might be helpful to you. If the link doesn't work down there, the program is called Punch Professional Home Design Suite. Good luck.

arch 101 An efficient work triangle in the kitchen doesn't have to be equilateral but it does help to keep it reasonably close. Measure the distance between the 3 major work areas, sink, cook top, and refrigerator. Total the distance between the three. The optimum distance should be between 12-21 feet.

'Kitchen backsplash ideas' Designing a kitchen is as much a science as it is an art. Knowing the recommended measurements to use when planning the project can make all the difference in the final outcome. Here are important guidelines for your kitchen design project. 1. For efficiency, the work triangle (the space between the sink, refrigerator, and stove) should measure 26' or less with no single side longer than 9', or less than 4'. 2. In kitchens smaller than 150 sq. ft., opt for at least 13' of base cabinets, 12' of wall cabinets, and 11' of countertop. In kitchens which are larger, go with at least 16' of base cabinets, 15 1/2' of wall cabinets, and 16 1/2' of countertop. i also found the great link about the kitchen especialy kitchen backsplash ideas for u..
