One of the reasons why many homeowners consider a kitchen renovation project is to improve the value of the home. To accomplish that and the other many benefits involved, it is important to look at popular trends and incorporate as many as possible into the project. Custom kitchens by their very nature can significantly boost a home’s value, but if you consider the popular trends listed below, you could achieve even more.
- Kitchen island- You would be hard-pressed to find many custom kitchens that do not have this popular added feature. A kitchen island serves as useful countertop space, storage space, and is a focal point that impresses potential buyers.
- Pantry- You’ll gain the most benefit with a full-size pantry built off the kitchen, but you can achieve a value increase with a pantry cabinet which is basically a floor to ceiling cabinet.
- Custom millwork- Adding a specialty touch to the cabinetry with custom millwork creates a “wow” factor that appeals to those that appreciate custom kitchens that are unique in nature.
- Specialty areas- Consider your passions when creating your kitchen. For example, add a marble countertop for a baking station, a built-in wine cooler, and/or a barista station.
- Modern features- Custom kitchens with such features as a pot-filler faucet over the stove, soft-close doors and drawers, built-in spice racks, and modern fixtures all add a touch of elegance and uniqueness that are sure to be appreciated by your family and potential buyers down the road.
Working with a professional that designs and installs custom kitchens can give you even more ideas for achieving the objective of adding value to your home. Don’t hesitate to pick their brain to learn more current trends you should incorporate.
