Smart Kitchen Upgrades

By -
The kitchen is one of the most looked at rooms of your home when potential buyers are looking for homes for sale at the Lake of the Ozarks.  The kitchen is the heart of the home and if you’re thinking about selling your home, making a few kitchen upgrades could help attract potential buyers. Read on to get a few tips for making kitchen upgrades from our real estate team at the Lake of the Ozarks.


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.
