The Best and Easiest Ways to Add Value to Your Kitchen

March 20, 2017 By Naomi Findlay Leave a Comment

Gone are the days when kitchens were solely used for cooking! Now, the kitchen is the hub of the home, used for homework, hanging out and even playing. Adding value to your kitchen, for your family and for future home owners is absolutely essential!

The rise of open plan living means that the kitchen is often not its own space. Instead, the kitchen may flow in a combined area with the dining room and lounge room. When planning to renovate your kitchen, it is important to consider this. Rather than feeling trapped away when cooking, you may be able to help the kids with their homework, see what is on the television and see your other children playing from the same space!

Adding a kitchen island to your kitchen will instantly give your kitchen more value! Not only does the space act as another work surface, but it also provides more storage in the kitchen. Kitchen islands are great ways to incorporate the kitchen into a neutral space where more activities than just cooking can occur.

Installing cupboards that reach the ceiling is another great way to incorporate more storage in the kitchen. No one has ever said that their kitchen has too much storage, so why not maximize your space and use empty wall space to your advantage? Adding ceiling high storage allows for what used to be kitchen storage to be used for something else, such as Tupperware storage.

Adding extra lighting in a kitchen is always essential! If you have the option, installing a large window is a great idea as it allows for the natural sunlight to beam in. Alternatively, installing down lights is a great idea for kitchens. These lights are out of the way and chic in design. Similarly, adding a down light in your cupboard is always a great idea, and a detail most people miss. Cupboards are dark places, and when renovating you want to make your space as convenient as possible!

When renovating your kitchen, be mindful when choosing your colour palate for your finishes! Think, while the kitchen might be for you now, is anyone going to want to purchase a property with a red splash back, yellow tiles and black cupboards? Opting for a neutral colour palate is great because it allows you to add in colour with the accessories you use such as natural elements and textures. It will make the fruit in the fruit bowl pop and the herb garden on the window sill look all that greener!
