Whether cooking meals for the family, kids running around, or entertaining guests, our kitchens often become the focal point of the home. It can be worth it to invest in some finer upgrades when you are financially able to do so. Consider these four upgrades that may not have been financially feasible before and can result in a big return on investment.

Marble or marble look Countertops

Installing marble countertops can be a lucrative and beneficial choice to improve your space. Not only do marble countertops offer a sleek and beautiful addition to any kitchen, but they make clean up easy and increase your home’s value. Evaluate a white marble option that will reflect light and create a truly stunning feel.

Upgraded Appliances

Upgrading kitchen appliances can be a costly investment, but one that is well worth it. By selecting a higher quality appliance, you can enhance your cooking experience, upgrade your aesthetic and increase the cost of your home.

Pantry

Many homes lack sufficient storage space, and in a kitchen, having ample room to store away unsightly items and equipment can be useful. Think about installing a sizable pantry during your kitchen renovation and you will never struggle with storage issues again. For bulky appliances, think about adding a hidden appliance stowaway space in your cabinets to provide discreet and hidden storage.

Enhance Your Aesthetic Appeal

During your renovation project, there is so much that you can do. Consider adding some flair during your improvement project to reflect a new aesthetic. Your design can take you beyond the traditional by incorporating different textures, fabrics, hardware, colour and even the use of light. While you do not want to create an overly trendy space that will be hard to resell, you can create a unique and beautiful feel by thinking outside of the box.

Kitchen renovations are a great opportunity to make improvements to your home. While this is not in the cards for many first-time home buyers, you may find yourself with more lavish options that may not have been possibilities in the past to fully deck out your kitchen.
