6 Remodeling Tips for the Kitchen

By -

The kitchen is the heart of your home and if you are thinking about listing your home at the Lake of the Ozarks soon, you may want to consider doing a few updates before putting it on the market. The kitchen is one of the most scrutinized rooms of your home when potential buyers are looking for their next home. That's why it may be beneficial to complete a few updates. If you're not sure where to start, the Fran Campbell Team has a few tips to help you design a kitchen that will sell your home!

1) Bring your Cabinets All the Way to the Ceiling

Cabinets collect dust and typically have accessories that are unnecessary. More Cabinets will give you more storage and will eliminate unused dusty areas. Plus the look of floor to ceiling cabinets can be absolutely stunning!

2) Invest in Quality Cabinets 

This is NOT the place to cut corners. The drawers and doors of your cabinets will be opened and closed multiple times daily. Be sure to get solid hardwoods, quality finishes, and sturdy hinges. Your potential buyers will notice if you've installed poor quality cabinets.

3) Create a Functional Workspace

Remember, this is a space that will be utilized often and the layout needs to make sense. For example, be sure to have counter space next to and across from your oven. You do not want to carry a hot casserole across the room just to set it down.

4) Conceal your Appliances with Cabinetry

This newer trend has really caught on and brought a whole new look to the kitchen area. Stainless steel scattered throughout the kitchen can cause the area to look choppy and small. Choosing cabinetry to conceal appliances can create an atmosphere that is larger, room-like and liveable.

5) Bigger is Not Always Better

Make the most of your small area by choosing high-quality materials and thoughtful details. Maximize the cabinet space that you have and avoid un-needed items on the counters. You want the area to feel open and clutter free.

6) Have One Element that is Fun or Creative

The kitchen area needs to be warm, personal and inviting - be sure to give your kitchen a little kick with touches of your own personality.
