A kitchen renovation is often driven by various factors, such as the need to enhance the floor plan, increase storage and prep space, or address wear and tear issues. There are several instances when modifying the current design, layout, and decor of your kitchen becomes necessary. Here are the most common reasons homeowners opt for a kitchen remodel, along with expert tips from Future Design Builds:
- Refreshing Wear and Tear: Given the frequent use of kitchens, mild to moderate damage is inevitable over time. Homeowners may notice dings, dents, or signs of wear on cabinets, counters, walls, and flooring. Refreshing the kitchen can involve simple and efficient solutions like refacing cabinets with laminate or updating worn countertops, backsplash tiles, and flooring for a fresh and appealing look, without the need for a complete overhaul.
- Improving Flow: As families grow and remote work becomes more common, many homeowners find the need to update their kitchen’s functionality to accommodate increased family time, cooking, and entertaining. Enhancing a narrow or cramped kitchen layout can often be achieved through minor adjustments, such as incorporating custom-built options or adding islands or peninsulas.
- Enhancing Storage: To combat clutter and reduce stress, it’s beneficial to incorporate smarter and more user-friendly storage solutions in the kitchen. From storing kitchen gadgets and pantry items to small appliances, there are numerous storage options available to maximize space and organization.
- Improving Indoor Air Quality: Older kitchens may contain materials that emit harmful substances into the air. Some fiberboards and pressed wood products can release toxins like formaldehyde and volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), which pose health concerns. Choosing environmentally friendly materials, such as natural wood for cabinets or non-porous countertops like natural stone, solid surface, or cambria® quartz, can help improve the air quality in your home.
