Luxury Kitchen Updates to Consider
Even without deciding to remodel an entire kitchen, there are many options for some much-needed restoration
The kitchen is known as the “heart of the home” for a reason; whether large or small, the kitchen is the central stop where family and friends naturally congregate.
Since the kitchen has the most foot traffic, the biggest messes, and the most activity, it needs to be built for comfort, efficiency, and luxury. Homeowners looking to bring new life to their home’s bustling epicenter may wonder what they can do to set the tone for their home and bring their visions of a luxurious kitchen to life.
Following are three ideas that can help take a kitchen to the next step.
Increase functionality
It isn’t necessary to invest thousands of dollars into remodeling a kitchen, although that is certainly the trend. Sometimes, the simplest way to update a kitchen is to make the space more functional.
A well-designed kitchen will not only increase efficiency and make the time spent in the kitchen more comfortable, but it can also offer a brag-worthy space. Instead of stripping the space to the studs, consider additional forms of storage to help organize cooking essentials and ingredients, install a sleek and easy-to-clean induction cooktop, or free up some cabinet space by adding in above-window shelving.
Appliances and fixtures
Give a kitchen a facelift by adding all new appliances and choosing from various finishes and features to meet every conceivable need. A world of unique appliances exists that can add an element of fun to the common kitchen.
Swap out the old fixtures in favor of touchless faucets and pot fillers, built-in coffee machines, and industrial-sized stoves.
Customize
Homeowners concerned that a simple remodel might not be what they desire can customize a renovation—customizing the aspects of a kitchen guarantees that the space will be wholly unique. Special-order a bright-colored cooktop from Italy or rip out all the cabinet doors and countertops and replace them with chrome. The budget is the only factor to consider in the creative reign of this process. Whatever they choose to create, the homeowner can ensure it will be precisely what they desire.
Even without deciding to remodel an entire kitchen, there are many options for some much-needed restoration. Consult a professional, whether replacing a few choice items or completing a full renovation. There is nothing wrong with a bit of do-it-yourself handy work, but for guaranteed results, homeowners will want an expert to guide them in bringing the mental picture to fruition.
