Kitchens are arguably the most attractive room, the most used room, and the fastest room to become outdated in a home. If your home is needing a facelift, the best place to start is the kitchen. A kitchen remodel does not require all new everything, thankfully - a few updates at a time over a period of time will give you wonderful results and can seriously raise the value of your home. Here are the top 5 current trends that will make your kitchen pop:
1. White cabinetry - White cabinets are easy to achieve, most existing cabinets only need a coat of primer underneath a fresh coat of white paint. White cabinets go with many different kitchen styles from traditional to country to contemporary, which makes them such a brilliant choice for any kitchen.
2. Stainless steel appliances - If you're looking to make a relatively long-term investment in your kitchen, look no further than a set of stainless steel appliances. They make the kitchen look finished, and they often help to "hook" a potential buyer on the kitchen alone, if you decide to sell your home.
3. Integrated appliances - A hot trend in the kitchen world, an integrated appliance is built into its surroundings to make it look like part of the existing wall, furniture, etc. Most come in the form of integrated refrigerators, but can be done with most other appliances as well. This is obviously one of the more expensive trends, but lovely for homeowners who don't mind spending more for a big payoff!
4. Work stations - Are you a coffee buff? How much would you love to have a little nook in your kitchen designed for the sole purpose of brewing and enjoying gourmet coffee? I know I would! This can be as inexpensive as purchasing a piece of furniture in a garage sale and devoting its life to storing coffee related items, or as expensive as creating a built-in coffee machine with corresponding slide out workstation. The possibilities are endless!
5. Technology in the kitchen - A huge trend, especially in recent years, is to make the kitchen almost as technologically savvy as the living area! A great way to do this is to add a television and a sound system. This update is great for entertaining!
