Homeowners looking to increase the value of their homes through remodeling projects should start in the kitchen. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t worry. Even one or two upgrades can make a huge difference.

Baybrook Remodelers specializes in home renovations, including kitchen remodeling, for the residents of New Haven County, CT. Whether you’re looking for a complete makeover or a couple of updates, following these trends will guarantee your kitchen looks its best in 2017:

• Gray: While white is still the most popular color for kitchen cabinets, many manufacturers believe gray will soon dethrone it. Gray cabinets also pair well with richly stained wood.
• Black & White: Styles have evolved a lot in recent years, but one thing remains true—black-and-white kitchens are still popular. Pairing white cabinets with black granite countertops creates contrast, and homeowners are finding fun and interesting ways to use this color scheme.
• Bold Fixtures: It’s easy to buy classic lights, sinks, and faucets, but it’s trendy to be bold with more than just your color scheme. Try adding over-sized light fixtures and a unique faucet to add some wow to your kitchen-remodeling project.
• Functionality: When it comes to your cabinets, you’ll find no shortage of new and modern options available. Some manufacturers are offering cabinets that allow for more storage while incorporating technology, such as multi-tiered drawers or hydraulic, easy-close doors that fold up when you touch them.
• Automation: If you’re ready to embrace the high-tech world of kitchen remodeling, consider installing automated technology. Examples include hands-free faucets that turn on with a sensor and motion-activated lights that brighten the kitchen when someone walks in.
