Remodeling ROI: Is It Worth It?
We are often asked about the costs surrounding a kitchen or bathroom remodel and how to decide on a budget for the project. This depends on a few factors and is something that we recommend is well-thought-through by each of the decision-makers in your household. Determining your maximum spending limit and how much you’re comfortable financing will help you establish a more concrete budget range, which is something we encourage our clients to think about in advance of their initial consultation meeting.
Before beginning the kitchen or bathroom remodel process many homeowners want to feel confident in the ROI, and whether choosing to move forward will have positive financial impacts on one of your most important assets. In the 2023-2024 Houzz & Home Study the average bathroom remodel saw a 73.7% ROI while a mid-range kitchen remodel saw as high as a 96.1% ROI. These high percentages are encouraging for homeowners who wish to upgrade their home and enhance their lifestyle.
Hardware & Fixtures : The Jewelry of the Kitchen
The styles and finishes of hardware can accent the entire design of your kitchen and keep the space feeling beautifully pulled together. To bring a warm and inviting feeling to a space, gold-toned metals are making a return and can bring a beautiful accent to a space. For a sleek and sophisticated look, matte black remains a popular choice. Black adds contrast to cabinetry and creates a space that feels rich with luxury. Expect to see more oversized hardware, the large scale can give cabinetry a luxurious and furniture-like appearance.
Lighting that Elevates: Add Some Glow
It may be time to give your kitchen a lighting upgrade. There are so many lighting options, from adding pendants over an island to adding recessed lights, whatever your needs are, there is a lighting solution. Having additional lights will make the entire cooking experience easier, and also help make your kitchen a brighter space in your home. When you think about where extra light is needed, consider where you do the majority of your food prep and the areas within your kitchen that you actively use. If you want to add soft, ambient light then choosing something less invasive such as under cabinet lights, interior cabinetry lighting, and shelving with lights may be the best way to achieve a soft glow. The choice is yours, but thinking about what kind of light you need in your kitchen will help you make the best decision and beautifully transform your kitchen.
