This illustrative fitted dishwasher is set up the way a kitchen studio would sell it. Choose brushed steel, black steel, white or biscuit, pick the 45 cm or 60 cm width, and the configuration goes into a quote.
In a traditional kitchen the dishwasher is rarely chosen on its own. It is specified with the range cooker, the sink and the cabinet paint, usually on a designer's drawing. The homeowner's real question is whether a visible appliance door suits a Shaker run. They also want a finish that will still feel right in ten years.

What you can configure
The demo offers four of the six finishes. Biscuit and white soften the door against painted timber, while brushed and black steel pick up a range cooker or a tap. Width is the second choice. A 45 cm model frees space for a drawer pack or bin unit in a tighter layout, and 60 cm is the standard family size. Width is recorded in the summary but does not change the image here.

Why a configurator suits dishwashers
Kitchen showrooms sell projects, not boxes. A typical order covers cabinets, worktops and several appliances, assembled over weeks of design visits. Appliance choices that live in a designer's notes are easy to get wrong on the final order. A slate dishwasher arrives in navy, or a 60 cm model is specified for a 45 cm gap.
A configurator gives the designer and the client the same reference. Each choice of finish and width maps to one of twelve product codes, and that code goes onto the quote line. Clients can revisit the configuration at home, show it to a partner, and arrive at the next appointment with a decision rather than another question.
Timing matters as well. Appliances need to arrive in step with the fitting schedule, not weeks early in a garage or a day late. When the configured order flows into the showroom's quoting or ERP system, the purchasing team can see what is due and place supplier orders against the install date.
How a production version would be built
For a showroom, I would start with an image per finish and width from a fixed camera, twelve in total. A neutral cabinet run behind lets the door finish read clearly. If the showroom already uses 3D kitchen planning software, rendering from the same models keeps everything consistent. Product data comes from the showroom: codes, finish names matched to its cabinet paint palette, and supplier lead times. Saved configurations give the designer a link to attach to the project, and the final spec passes to the quote or ERP system.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Width choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if widths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about dishwasher configurators
Can a client save a dishwasher configuration and share it with their kitchen designer?
Yes. Each configuration can be saved to a link or a reference code. The client sends it to the designer, or the designer creates it during an appointment and sends it to the client. Both are then looking at the same finish and width, which removes a common source of ordering errors.
Can appliance finishes be paired with our cabinet paint colours?
Yes, through the product data. Each finish can carry a list of recommended cabinet colours, and the configurator can show those pairings or flag clashes. The pairings are a curatorial decision for your design team. The configurator simply makes sure every salesperson presents the same advice.
Can the configurator cover visible-door and fully integrated models?
Yes, as separate product families. A visible-door model like this one is chosen mostly on finish. An integrated model hides behind a furniture door, so its configurator focuses on width, hinge type and door fixing instead. Both can sit within a wider kitchen configurator if you sell the whole room.
Does this need to replace our kitchen planning software?
No. A configurator sits alongside design software rather than replacing it. Planning tools handle the room layout, while the configurator handles the product choices a client makes between appointments. The two can share product codes, and I connect configurators to quoting and CRM or ERP systems so data is entered once.
