Renovating your kitchen can be the most expensive endeavor in home improvement, but it brings in some great returns.
Here are some six kitchen improvements that will significantly bring you some financial benefits down the road.
- Amp up the appliances- shiny new appliances such as fridges, stove, stainless-steel dishwasher, have a huge impact on prospective home buyers. They are also the most expensive kitchen renovations. But, the good thing is that you don't have to replace them all at once. Just replace what you can--when you can--so by the time your home's on the market, your kitchen will look as good as new.
- Refreshed cabinets -cabinets are also very expensive, averaging between $3,900 and $12,000. So, don't be quick to trash out the old ones. In fact, if you have wood cabinets that are still in decent shape, you can totally reface then with a fresh coat of paint.
- Kitchen sink- given that this is the most used item in a kitchen, you'll have to buy a new one --even if it's on an old countertop. So, consider getting one with two troughs or made of stainless steel, the most popular material, according to Consumer Reports.
- New countertops - these may be quite pricey, but the impact they have on future home buyers is huge. You can go for granite or quartz, for a more trendy and distinct look.
- Charging stations- with the invasion of smartphones, tablets, and other constantly charged electronics, there are never enough charging ports in a kitchen. Consider modifying cabinets and drawers to add hidden powers strips and other tech-friendly amenities.
- Wood floors- when it comes to kitchen floors, wood is the most popular kitchen flooring, favored by 82% of home buyers, according to an NKBA report.
