Yes, today’s homes are kitchen-centric. Whether entertaining a group of friends or simply relaxing with family, Americans now use their kitchen as
the focal point of the home. Even with a small old-style kitchen, there’s a lot we can do a lot to spruce it up.
A typical kitchen upgrade project might involve replacing the laminate countertops, sink and faucet; leaving cabinets in place but replacing fronts with new raised-panel wood doors and drawers (and perhaps some
glass-inlay doors); painting or staining the cabinets; and adding new hardware that matches the faucet finish and fixtures.
It might also include replacing the wall oven and cook top with new energy-efficient models, repainting trim, replacing wallpaper with paint, and replacing the flooring with something both durable and aesthetic.
Here are a few tips:
* Remove obstructions to vision and movement
* Brighten & enlarge the kitchen using sunlight, lighting, paint
* Modernize cabinets by replacing, refinishing, or refacing
* Upgrade surfaces & appliances (stainless always works well), and create plenty of workspace
Above all, seek simplicity, comfort and value!
