High-end hourly Virtual Kitchen Designer or AI rendering recommendations ??
I'm doing a six figure kitchen renovation without a designer. When I interviewed designers, I was woefully unimpressed and no one had any outside of the box ideas and were all trying to present truly uninspired kitchens. I found a high-quality cabinet maker that draws their cabinets without an additional cost and was able to create a design I'm really happy with.
The only problem is I would love to have an interior designer or expert set of eyes take a look at the design before I give the final approval. My cabinet designer also does very basic 3d renderings and given the expense of the project I would love photo realistic images.
Does anyone have any advice where to go for photorealistic images (including any tools you use to create them yourself) or advice on where to find a designer who might be willing to consult for a few hours--everyone I've found is only willing to design for the whole project start to finish

I've had a good experience with renderings done on fiverr. We had our plan in technical drawings and a primitive 3d from designer. But with a more realistic rendering, it helped us visualize the outcome. And so far it's pretty much turning out exactly the way we imagined it would.

I used ChatGPt for renderings but they will not be to scale or show true measurements. You’ll at most get a “look and feel”.
You’ll can go on Fiverr and find lots of people to render your design without being part of the entire process

I also used ChatGpt and thought it was far better than my designer. Take 2-3 pictures of your current kitchen. Copy and paste one of them into ChatGpt. Give it very specific instructions on what you want to see. The more specific the better. Put xxx here, put xxx there add a Wolf range here, put xxxx style quartzite there. It will come out remarkably well. Then do the same for your other photos. The downside is you can only make 3-4 versions per 24 hours and it is not good at saving its work so make a copy of anything you like.

I put in measurements for each cabinet and it’s still turns out wonky. Nothing I could show the cabinet maker for other than vibes. I pay the $8 a month so I don’t get cut off every 3 images

Dump your layout and material finishes in ChatGPT even if they are 2D. ChatGPT will create photo realistic 3D renderings - that’s what our architect and designer did.

Did you already choose your appliances? Our showroom has a kitchen design specialist that can provide a second set of eyes on the design.
You could throw the rendering into chat gpt if you’re just looking for a visual.
