Remodeling your kitchen to match the ever-changing social dynamics, technological advancements, and interior décor styles is an excellent way to lift your home’s market value. In fact, kitchen remodeling is one of the primary ways to influence a buyer’s decision.
Despite the benefits, many homeowners lack appropriate remodeling ideas to help them achieve the mission. Are you one of those homeowners? If you are, below are expert-endorsed kitchen remodeling ideas that you may want to consider.
Make the kitchen a multipurpose space with an island
Today’s kitchen is an epicenter of multiple activities. It is a place where you prepare favorite meals, as well as clean or store your valuable utensils. Into the bargain, the kitchen is a focal point where your family members meet for breakfast, dinner, or any other meal.
For that reason, if your kitchen is just but a traditional food preparation space, then you need to convert it into a modern all-purpose space. How? You can add a multipurpose island to serve as a countertop to prepare, store, and or serve your food. As well, you can customize your kitchen island with cabinets to store your kitchen appliances.
Invest in modern countertops
Replacing your kitchen’s worn out countertops with modern types is an excellent way to upgrade the look and feel in your kitchen. While many baby boomers loved wooden countertops, today’s millennials prefer granite, concrete, laminate, or quartz countertops.
These modern countertops come in an avalanche of styles and finishes to match or facelift your kitchen’s aesthetics. Moreover, the granite, quartz, concrete, or laminate countertops are designed to withstand the wear and tear resulting from regular use.
Paint your cabinets and or walls
Are you looking for an affordable and efficient way to increase your kitchen’s value? If yes, then you would want to give your kitchen’s cabinets and or walls a nice and fresh impression using appropriate paint. The new coat on your kitchen’s walls and cabinets is the first thing many buyers notice first.
You would want to use a combination of warm, neutral, and light colors to create an illusion of larger space, and emphasize unique features in your kitchen. Moreover, you can use paint to give your kitchen a look that supplements the finish of your floor and countertops.
Upgrade your kitchen’s floor
If your kitchen’s original vinyl or linoleum flooring looks outdated, neglected, and worn out, revamp its looks with modern flooring materials designed from tiles, stone, wood, or any other material.
The new flooring materials come in an array of finishes to let you invest in a type that pairs up with your kitchen’s countertops, walls, ceiling, and fixtures. Moreover, the modern flooring materials are resilient enough to endure regular traffic into and out of your kitchen.
The Bottom Line
Remodeling your kitchen is an ideal way to modernize and lift your home’s value. How much you get back on your renovation has a lot to do with how much you spend and what kind of remodeling you choose. For example, the national average ROI for a major upscale kitchen remodel is almost 85%. That means on a $50,000 kitchen renovation you regain almost $43,000 immediately
Additionally, you can enhance the kitchen’s value by repainting its walls, and replacing old flooring. These kitchen remodeling tactics would influence the decision of your buyer positively.
