HI AGAIN EVERYBODY, CHRIS TOWN HERE, OWNER OF TOWN CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT AND HERE WITH SOME GREAT HOME KITCHEN TIPS FOR YOU. IF I CAN HELP YOU SAVE SOME TIME, SAVE A BUCK  OR MAKE BUCK OR TWO LIKE ME, GREAT!

Increasing your home’s value is always an excellent idea. Whether you plan on selling it or simply want to make it comfortable and functional, it’s sensible to keep the real estate market in mind.
There are many ways to boost your property’s value, but one of the best places to start is your kitchen. It’s one of the most vital rooms in the house, where we spend a lot of time. The kitchen is the place where the family gathers for meals and where we chat with our friends over a cup of coffee. Therefore, it’s important to make it both functional and appealing.

With that in mind, we’ve prepared a list of five kitchen upgrades that will add value to your Seattle home.

Decluttering is the key to the modern look of your kitchen

If your kitchen looks too crowded with things and feels stuffy, and you can never find what you need, it’s the right time to deal with decluttering. While we all tend to accumulate too many things we don’t need, more minimalist, sleek-looking kitchens are in fashion.

This is one of the most cost-effective kitchen upgrades – it only requires some of your time and effort. Go over the items in your kitchen and decide what you really need and use. If there are many items you still want to keep but rarely use, or you feel reluctant about throwing some things away, don’t worry! Seattle has to offer quality solutions in terms of proper and reliable storage. You can opt for the type of storage that suits your needs and make your kitchen look light and airy at the same time!

Remodeling countertops is one of the most effective kitchen upgrades

If you want your kitchen to be functional and look inviting, change the countertops. There are ways to refresh them yourself. However, if the task is too time-consuming or your old wooden counters are too damaged, replacing them completely is a better idea. There are numerous designs and varieties you can choose from, so you’re bound to find one that will satisfy both your style and budget.

Granite or marble are both excellent choices if you want a luxurious and elegant look. On the other hand, if you are looking for more affordable options, quartz or plastic laminate is the right solution for your kitchen. They often come in a great variety of colors, so you will easily find one that fits the rest of your kitchen.

Pay special attention to the floor and the walls:

Refreshing the walls is an easy way to update your kitchen. You can opt for classic white look or pastel shades. Or, you can be brave and go for a more striking effect and choose bright, eye-catching color schemes. Choosing attractive floor tiles or adding a vintage rug will do wonders for the overall appeal of your kitchen.

On the other hand, be careful not to overdo it. Making decisions on what to change and how to do it and combining colors and materials that complement each other can be a daunting process. If you feel overwhelmed by this task, you can find experienced professionals who will help you design your kitchen in a way that best suits your style and needs. Although this sounds like a more expensive solution, you can choose the option that best fits your budget and that will certainly increase your home’s value.

Lighting and decoration:

A spacious and airy kitchen is what we all want to have in our homes. One of the best ways to achieve this is to add more light. Adding windows that will let in more natural light is an excellent solution, but it’s not always possible. Nevertheless, you can always install more lighting fixtures. Pendant lights, lamps, LED lights under the cabinets – the possibilities are endless. Choose the style of lighting that matches the rest of your kitchen. The extra lights will make your kitchen look warm and inviting.

Tasteful decoration will add a personal touch to your kitchen. You can get creative and showcase your favorite paintings or decorative plates. Display your best trays and cups on rustic floating shelves. Cookbooks and colorful appliances will fit into the theme and look splendid next to green plants or flowers. Opt for the style you like and give your kitchen a distinct look.

Go for the updates that will both enhance the functionality of your kitchen and look aesthetically pleasing. These five ideas will help you increase your home’s value, as well as create the perfect kitchen, a place where you will enjoy spending time and sharing meals with your loved ones.
