Kitchen Remodeling
As homeowner you know that the kitchen is one of the most important rooms you have. It is the place that prepares you for the meals of the day, a place that you spend allot of time in and that creates memories. The floor plan, the functionality, the color of the walls and wood cabinets all impact your emotions. This space signifies warmth and love and if it is well-designed, it immediately makes you feel at home.
The cost to remodel a kitchen
The cost to remodel a kitchen can vary wildly, not just from state-to-state but also depending upon whether you live in a rural or metropolitan area. Kitchen remodels in the South tend to be cheaper than ones in the North and West with a major kitchen overhaul costing as much as $20,000 less in the South than one in California, for example. The cost can vary also depending on how much you are willing to take on.

Controlling the cost of your renovation
Updates to the kitchen pay off. Many prospective homebuyers are looking for modern, updated kitchens. According to Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report for 2018, you can expect to recoup 62.7 to 81.6 percent of your investment on a kitchen remodel. But don’t go overboard. Adding an $80,000 kitchen to a $125,000 home isn’t a smart move.
When remodeling a kitchen, start small at first. Replace the kitchen faucet, add new cabinet hardware, and replace old light fixtures with modern, energy-efficient options.
Rather than replacing cabinets, paint the cabinets a new color or hire a refacing company to refinish the cabinet boxes and install new cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. These small updates will improve the overall look of your kitchen.
Your backsplash may technically be functional and keep food and oils off the walls behind the stove, but let’s be honest: in a kitchen renovation, the backsplash is a style leader. It can be a cost driver, as well. But Mary Elizabeth Hulsey founder of Mission Stone & Tile in Nashville, Tenn., says it doesn’t have to be. She says rather than turning the corners with your backsplash and carrying it all along the kitchen wall, just finish the tile where the walls meet.
Appliances could be a major cost
If your appliances don’t match, consider ordering new doors and face panels from the manufacturer. This will give your kitchen a more cohesive look without the high costs of replacing the appliances.
Consider replacing older appliances with new energy-efficient models, which are better for the environment and use less energy. You many even qualify for a rebate through Seattle City Light. Potential buyers are often looking for ways to save money when shopping for a new home.
The layout
The right kitchen layout will leave plenty of room for storage, organizing kitchen gadgets and leave enough space for cooking without feeling cramped.
You can add a small table and create a breakfast nook for your family to convene and start your day with them. You can use an open-planned kitchen as a link to catch up with your children while they finish their homework or play in the living room.
Identifying the right kitchen layout for your space is the most crucial factor in ensuring a practical kitchen area that’s safe and comfortable for the entire family. Whether you have a large or small kitchen space, the right layout will help you get the most out of the space.
