The pandemic of 2020 into 2021 has made people realize how important it is to feel cozy at home. That surely includes the kitchen. Whether you like to cook or not, everyone spends a decent amount of time in the kitchen. With warm weather around the corner, backyard get togethers will mean preparing food and drinks in the kitchen to serve your guests. Holidays like Easter and Mother’s Day are also getting close, two special occasions where many families get together for home-cooked, sit down meals. You’ll want to spend even more time in your kitchen if it is upgraded and feeling fresh. Here at Spectrum Stone Designs, we have some ways to help you prepare your kitchen for any type of makeover, big or small. We also have some easy ideas on how to make your kitchen feel refreshed. Here’s how to prepare for a kitchen makeover.
Not only can an updated kitchen make you feel good while living in your home, but if you ever decide to sell, “the spruce” says having an updated kitchen can make a home more appealing to potential buyers and increase the home’s value. Whether doing several small renovations or doing one major update, make sure to have a budget before you start. Having a budget will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed while planning. Also keep your neighborhood in mind when making a budget. If you live in a newer or more expensive neighborhood, updating your kitchen with trendy looks is a good decision.
Before you begin any type of kitchen upgrade, decluttering can make the whole process much simpler and less stressful. Go through your cabinets and drawers and get rid of things you haven’t used in the last few months. If you have too many utensils in a drawer for instance, take the most used ones and place them in a decorative basket or decorative stand on the counter. The fewer unnecessary items you have around your kitchen, the easier it will be when it comes time to make those upgrades.
Whether you want to do something as simple as change the décor on your kitchen counters or something as big as getting new countertops, Spectrum Stone Designs can help you make your kitchen a place you look forward to spending your time. We offer a variety of stones for countertops in different colors, textures and price ranges and can help homeowners determine what’s in their budget and what will make them the happiest. If full new countertops aren’t in your budget there are other options. A small space on an island can make a huge impact in a kitchen and a new backsplash can add a fresh look to a kitchen.
