If you’re planning to sell your home, a kitchen renovation offers a great return on investment. Some estimates for kitchen remodels suggest a 75 – 100% ROI is possible. You may be interested in remodelling to improve the space for your personal enjoyment, hoping to increase the value of your home for the future, or both.
To make a project of this size a little bit easier, we spoke to Ashleigh from Heritage Home Hardware. She shared four main updates those who are embarking on this exciting process should make.
One of the best places to start is Home Installs, she advises. “You’ll work with a Home Installs professional who handles every step of the job for you—from the initial measurements to the final installation and clean-up.”
These four updates are key when renovating a kitchen:
1. Replace hardware and faucets
Start by getting rid of your outdated hardware. Go for something more sophisticated to make your kitchen look more modern. There are several different finishes available to choose from, like matte black, gold, stainless steel and brushed nickel. You don’t have to keep everything matching either; for a really modern esthetic, try mixing metals.
This matte black faucet by Moen features contemporary lines and a smooth finish that mixes perfectly with gold hardware.
2. Freshen up with a new coat of paint
Repainting your kitchen is a simple, budget-friendly solution that yields immediate results. A new coat of paint is often praised as the ‘hero’ in design renovations, and for good reason—you can change the whole look and feel of the room without too much expense or effort.
If you’re looking for a soft, neutral colour, try “Social Light” (SC175-0) from the Simon Chang Trend Colour Collection by BeautiTone Paint; it will help you transform a boring wall into a stunning visual. For a bigger impact, go with a bold colour, like “Blue Out of Proportion” (SC176-3). It is a deep and luxurious hue that pairs easily with almost any colour.
3. Install a modern range hood
An old-fashioned range hood signals that your kitchen is outdated. For an immediate facelift, choose a new range hood that updates your space. To take things a step further, install a stunning backsplash, one that stretches from the stove all the way up to the ceiling. This creates the illusion of a taller ceiling and has a custom, expensive look.
4. Add beautiful flooring
Ashleigh recommends choosing flooring with a bit of subtle texture. There is a wide range of options to choose from and no need to shy away from pattern. A patterned or slightly textured floor is more interesting to look at, more forgiving (hides any mess a bit better) and more design-forward.
She suggests taking a look at the Tatami SPC Plank Flooring from the NinjaXtra Collection. It has a warm and modern finish you can match with nearly any style, for an elegant and timeless kitchen.
