3 Kitchen Renovations to Add Life to the Space

A stunning kitchen is a great selling point when it comes time to list your property. But until then, a beautiful kitchen is yours to enjoy day in and day out! From family dinners and holidays, to homework and late-night talks, your kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s used every day by every member of the family - pets included!

If you’re looking to enhance your kitchen while spending your time and money wisely, these three renovations will add the most life to your space. Fortunately, kitchen renovations are projects that increase property value and offer an excellent ROI - nearly 54 percent!

1. Bigger Kitchen Island

Kitchen islands are popular - and they’re getting bigger and better all the time! By installing a new kitchen island, you can increase counter space, generate additional storage, add more seating and create a defined space.

Some of the best islands have intricate details, wide drawers, deep cabinets and an overhang for bar stools. And, they don’t have to match your kitchen cabinets, so it’s easy to add an island at a later date. From a design perspective, a kitchen island does NOT have to match and can serve as a focal point for your kitchen.

2. New Countertops

New countertops give an instant facelift to your kitchen. Get rid of outdated tile and grout countertops - these are hard to clean and end up looking dull and dated over time.

When you replace your kitchen countertops, you get to choose a new material that performs better than what you currently have. And, it will be easier to clean and maintain! Some of our top recommendations for busy households include granite, marble, engineered stone, Formica and Corian.

3. Waterproof Flooring

A new floor is sure to lift your space. New flooring improves the aesthetics of your home while also eliminating bulky area rugs and coverings that may have been hiding your ugly floors. And with advancements in flooring technology, there’s a wide range of waterproof or water-resistant options, such as engineered wood, luxury vinyl and tile.

Rather than spending hours mulling over the best type of flooring for your home, contact a professional. They can help you choose the best material and style for your kitchen renovation. Imagine dark mahogany floors against white cabinets, or white-washed wood against dark cabinets. Both are gorgeous!

These three kitchen renovations will immediately add life to your space. You also have the option to customize them based on your preferences and lifestyle.
