1. Refresh

Kitchen sees more wear and tear than any other in a home.

Having a space you love can increase a sense of your wellbeing. 

2. Value

A kitchen adds value to the home like no other. An outdated kitchen can often be a dealbreaker during a home sale. Even if you do not plan to sell your home in the near future, you can enjoy the kitchen while you live there.  And your home will be more sellable when its time, compared to the other houses in the area with a dated kitchen.

3. Lifestyle

Unlike in the past where the kitchens were closed off, people today prefer open concept because they realize that cooking is a family event where everyone likes to join in. People with closed kitchens will often renovate to make their living space more inviting and accommodating of all family members. This encourages more family time and also motivates to cook more often at home.

4. Functionality

You are spending a large part of your time in the kitchen fixing at least three meals a day. If you have bottlenecks that cause you to bump into each other while cooking, your kitchen layout might not be the most functional. Having an efficient work triangle of stove, sink and refrigerator is very important.     

5. Storage

Clutter and insufficient storage options in the kitchen leads to stress. There are tons of storage options right now which you can incorporate in your new kitchen that will make your day-to-day life easier. Cabinets that go all the way to ceiling, pantry cabinets and Lazy Susan are some of the possibilities to amp your storage within your current kitchen square footage.
