Kitchens used to be a place where we just prepared meals, often they were detached or even outdoors. Historically kitchens were called cookhouses in some parts of the world.
Today, for many the kitchen has become the heart of the home, it’s a hub where the family come together and reconnects over a home-cooked meal after a busy day. It’s the space where together with friends and family you can fuel your mind, body and soul. Kitchens play pivotal roles within our homes, giving us stability and direction, and providing us with a common space to share, communicate and bond. It’s no wonder it’s a place we like to keep fresh, up-to-date and functional.
As a homeowner, you may have been thinking about a kitchen renovation for a while, maybe even years. Today we explore the top reasons for renovating your kitchen and how to make the heart of your home shine like never before.
5 Reasons to renovate your kitchen.
Kitchen renovation reason number 1.
Increase the resale value of your property.
It’s no secret when it comes to selling a house that buyers look for updated kitchens. Whether you are looking to stay in the property for a few more years or want to get it on the market, a kitchen renovation is a clever way to invest in your home. One of the key ingredients when it comes to renovating your kitchen is choosing a qualified, experienced kitchen renovator such as Bespoke Renovations Melbourne to design and install your new masterpiece.
Kitchen renovation reason number 2.
Improve your kitchens functionality and efficiency.
Is it time to eliminate an awkward kitchen layout? Do you still have appliances from the ’80s and ’90s? One of the most important things you want in a kitchen is for it to be functional and functional to your family's needs. We don’t work well in awkward spaces; it could be your kitchen is too small or poorly designed. For example, you may not have any bench top space to prepare meals on, or the cabinetry that opens the wrong way. Maybe you have out-of-date appliances that are far from energy efficient, and possibly dangerous. If this sounds like you, it’s time to update! Generally, most homeowners updated or refresh their kitchen spaces every 10 – 15 years.
Kitchen renovation reason number 3.
To fix, repair and upgrade existing kitchen problems.
As one of the highest traffic areas, if not the highest in your home, kitchens will experience more substantial wear and tear than other spaces in the home. It is estimated we each visit the kitchen in our home 3 times each a day, that’s over 1000 visits to the kitchen a year! Over time materials and appliances will deteriorate, it’s only natural for this to occur. In many cases, you may find that it is cheaper for you to renovate/remodel than it is for you to repair damages in your kitchen space. Bespoke Renovations Melbourne recommends you do an annual in-house kitchen assessment to stay on top of any issues before they get out of hand. A recommendation of a kitchen refresh or remodel every 10 – 15 years is also best practice.
Kitchen renovation reason number 4.
To increase the storage in your kitchen to suit your needs.
Like seasons, your family’s needs change over time. You may want to renovate your kitchen to create a space that works for you and your family. There may be children involved, and the aesthetics may take a backseat to functionality. Some of the most common ways to add storage to your kitchen space include:
• Adding more cabinetry and including organisers in drawers and cupboards.
• Space reconfiguration, the inclusion of an island bench is always popular.
• Minimise the size of fixtures and appliances.
• Removing a wall and opening up the space.
Kitchen renovation reason number 5.
To be more aesthetically pleasing and display your personal style in your kitchen.
Nobody likes walking into a room that makes them cringe or brings them stress and anxiety. Especially if that room is somewhere you need to frequent on a daily basis. Your kitchen as the heart of the home should be inviting and a place that sparks joy. After all, many memories are made in the kitchen, from learning grandma’s secret recipe to your babies trying out foods for the first time, or maybe you had your first date or host the monthly dinner party with your favourite people. No matter what the memories you make, you want to make them your way.
