Looking to add value to your home, but not wanting to break the bank? Don’t underestimate the value of a newly upgraded kitchen. The kitchen, often considered the heart of the family home, has become a natural gathering place for eating, studying and entertaining. Whether you are looking to upgrade to your current taste or are preparing to sell your home, it is not necessary to gut your entire kitchen. According to Remodeling Magazine, a minor kitchen remodel will give you a greater return on investment – 79.3% in 2015 compared to 59% for an upscale major overhaul.
Kitchen Upgrades That Add Value
Dedicated kitchen remodelers, such as Desirable Kitchens & Refacing in Pittsburgh, PA, work with you to find the most cost effective and time efficient way to upgrade your kitchen, while adding value to your home. From cabinets to countertops to flooring, you will want to choose what works best for you.
Cabinets – If your cabinets are in good condition, there is no need to tear them out and replace with new ones. Upgrading the doors, trim, color, and hardware with cabinet refacing is quicker and less expensive than a full kitchen remodel. Cabinet refacing, also known as cabinet resurfacing, allows you to keep your current kitchen intact while completely transforming its appearance.
Countertops – Consider updating your countertops with a surface that not only matches your kitchen, but meets the needs of the household. Quartz countertops are becoming a favorite of busy cooks and are a must have for a kitchen with a lot of traffic. Known for its resistance to heat, scratches and spills, quartz is a smart update for many families.
Floors – Hardwood floors add value to any home. If you currently have hardwood in your kitchen, but it is looking a bit beat up, consider refinishing the floor. Refinishing hardwood floors is less expensive than replacing them, and you have the option to change the color or leave it the same. Choose a satin finish over a semi-gloss because it tends to show less scratches.
Paint – Choosing a new color to wash your walls is an inexpensive upgrade that will transform the look of your kitchen. Consider using natural paint or paint with low-VOC or no VOC, which makes your kitchen more eco-friendly, and reduces the amount of toxins that can potentially be released in the air.
Lighting – A simple change in your kitchen’s Illumination can have a dramatic effect in the room’s mood, comfort and livability. Whether it is under-cabinet lighting to brighten your work area or several adjustable overhead lights to regulate the amount of light, new lighting will ultimately enhance the ambiance of the room.
Appliances – Replace older appliances with matching stainless steel appliances. Be sure to choose energy-efficient models that will help to lower your electric bills. Ideally, you want your appliance upgrades to save you money.
