Investing a bit of time and money into upgrading your kitchen can result in increased buyer interest and a higher sale price when it comes time to sell your home. Speak to your builder about the condition of your kitchen. Sometimes all you need are a few small, sharply focused upgrades to bring it up to date and boost its value.
Add an island
Having a kitchen island is a great way to draw the kitchen out into an open-plan living or dining space. It also provides extra work space and can be an additional dining spot. Deciding how big or small your island unit should be will depend on what it needs to house, and the proportions of your kitchen.
Updated benchtops
Durable but beautiful benchtops are a worthwhile upgrade. Go for hard-wearing laminates if you’re on a budget, but if you’re willing to spend extra, you can opt for marble, granite or quartz. Whichever material you choose, make sure that it is stain-, heat- and water-resistant, as well as easy to clean.
Storage solutions
Ample storage automatically adds value to a home. Maximise your storage potential by installing cupboards that run the full length of walls from floor to ceiling, and take them as wide as possible. Open shelving is chic, but can be difficult to clean, so only install them in areas that are easy to reach.
Quality appliances
High quality appliances will help your kitchen renovation stand out. For a stylish, coordinated look choose appliances from the same brand and range.
Smart lighting
Good lighting can boost the appeal of any space in your home. In the kitchen in particular, smart lighting makes it easier to work in a kitchen as well as allows you to alter the mood for entertaining guests.
