Many homeowners take advantage of kitchen remodeling to increase the value of their home and the buyer pool.
Kitchen remodels often sell a home faster and at a higher price thanks to kitchen upgrades.
Homeowners looking to sell their home in the short term may want to update their kitchen first. It is typically a 100% return remodeling project, helping to increase the pool of interested homebuyers and generally better competing in a tight real estate market. Kitchen remodeling projects don’t have to cost a huge investment. With smart planning, homeowners can earn a return of $2-3 for every $1 invested. That means that remodeling a kitchen can actually make money. Not all home remodeling investments have the same high return; however, kitchen remodels are one of the best places to start.
Flipping the TV over quickly shows the many options for today’s hot cooking shows. Homeowners are enamored with the idea of being culinary masters like never before. Where budgets and location allow for investments in high-end kitchens, upgrading to professional-style kitchens can capitalize on the cooking craze. Investments in small and medium-sized kitchens are almost certainly paying off. Expensive kitchen remodels can also generate a greater number of potential buyers and attractive returns when homes sell, if the home designer and the right updates were done and marketed well.
Homeowners can create a whole new look with an updated kitchen remodel, transforming the room from closed off to vibrant, functional and inviting:
* Add a custom island. Granite and quartz countertops are a favorite for home chefs. Create a suitable workspace and surfaces that are attractive, durable and popular.
* Install a backsplash using natural stone
* Adding fun storage expands your kitchen and makes it much more useful
* Use a fun new painting technique on your closet. New paint says “fresh and clean” in an instant, and it’s one of the most cost-effective upgrades around. Hiring a professional can make all the difference when cutting edges and getting a “worn” lifespan. To sell faster, consider a neutral color like a light tan – think coffee with cream.
* Change your closets. Add a glass front to showcase your favorite dishes. Try putting thin veneer on the cabinet surface, replacing the doors, and adding new hardware for a sleek, finished look.
* Install a new kitchen sink with a fancy faucet head. Sleek stainless steel resists scratches and is easy to maintain.
* Kitchen appliances upgraded to later models with energy saving features
* Wood or laminate floors
The length of time an owner must plan for the project will be determined by:
1) the extension of the project
2) have the correct materials ordered and available on time
3) the availability of your remodelers: It’s good to schedule your project with the flexibility to fit into your contractor’s schedule.
A kitchen remodel should reflect the style of the house. Be sure to hire a professional home designer when trying to go “modern” on a traditional or historic home. Homeowners can successfully increase home value when there is excellent flow, are comfortable, functional, and maximize available space in a stylish way.
With a home designer, whether you pay them just for their design expertise or to do the entire job, the money will be well spent and homeowners will save money in the end.
Today, the kitchen can be used for many facets of home life. Such as: a family gathering place, a meal planning area, a project desk base, and a center stage for entertainment while hosting friends and family.
