From preparing weeknight meals to hosting family and friends, the kitchen is often one of the busiest rooms in your home. It can also be one of the most cramped. If you feel yours is too small for your needs or that it is outdated, it’s likely you’ve considered kitchen remodeling. The guide below explains some of the benefits you’ve probably already thought about—and some you haven’t yet.

Why You Should Invest in Kitchen Remodeling

1. Improve Functionality

Many kitchens, especially those found in older homes, tend to have dated, inefficient layouts. Kitchen remodeling allows you to customize the space for your unique needs, family size, and style of cooking. Consider maximizing your storage, seating, and prep stations by installing a kitchen island or reduce negative space by replacing false-front drawers and out-of-reach cabinets with functional alternatives.

You can also reduce the risk of spills by tightening the “work triangle”—the distance between the sink, stove, and refrigerator—for easier transfer of ingredients and pots and pans.

2. Replace Outdated Appliances

Older kitchens were typically built to house smaller appliances, making it difficult to upgrade to modern varieties that tend to take up more space.

Purchasing new appliances during a remodel allows you to tailor the area to fit the appliances you want, not the other way around. This gives you the freedom to invest in a double oven or French door refrigerator. Additionally, these new appliances are likely more energy-efficient, meaning you will save money on your monthly utility bills.

3. Increase Your Home Value

Kitchen remodeling not only adds beauty and efficiency to your home, but it also improves the resale value, putting money back in your pocket if you ever decide to sell. Research current kitchen trends to ensure your home matches modern tastes and styles and appeals to a wider variety of potential buyers.
