If you’re a homeowner, you’ve likely heard this before: someone you know just had their kitchen renovated.
Have you ever wondered why new homeowners often renovate their kitchen first? It’s because updating the kitchen is one of the smartest moves after buying a home. Many homeowners want a “new look” and need to replace worn-out features. Plus, the kitchen is where you spend the most time—making coffee, preparing meals, and gathering with loved ones—so it needs to feel just right. A refreshed kitchen makes your house feel like home and offers the best resale value. Real estate brokers always highlight the kitchen, so a stunning update can boost your home's price when it’s time to sell.
6 Reasons To Renovate Your Kitchen
A kitchen remodel is a wonderful thing. Being one of the most-used rooms in a home, its also one of the most practical changes you can make. It’s easy to be jealous of friends who’ve indulged in a sleek, new kitchen design. If you’re looking for reasons to make a change in your own home, look no further. Here are six great reasons to remodel your kitchen.
Kitchen Flooring Options
When you’re remodeling your kitchen, there are several decisions that have to be made. Cabinets and countertops often get the most attention, but your kitchen flooring is just as important. With so many options, though, you may find it hard to narrow down the right kind of flooring. That’s why we’ve put together a quick guide detailing each of the main kitchen flooring options:
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tiles are known for their aesthetic flexibility, as they come in a variety of colors, patterns, sizes, shapes, and mosaics. Made from natural clay, these are an extremely durable type of flooring that can stand up to almost anything your kitchen throws at it. They are, however, cold, which can be uncomfortable without socks in the winter months.
Hardwood
Unlike ceramic tile, hardwood floors are warm and comfortable underfoot—a good option during our long, Buffalo winters. Hardwood is also extremely durable, but since it is wood, you’ll want to be careful with big spills.
Natural Stone Tile
Natural stone tile is as hard as a rock—literally—so it’s bound to last a long time. It comes in a variety of options (marble, granite, limestone, slate, and sandstone, to name a few), but beware that they are porous materials, so they’ll need to be annually treated.
Linoleum
Linoleum is made from cork powder and linseed oil, so it’s extremely eco-friendly. It’s also resilient and moisture-resistant, but it is susceptible to staining.
Vinyl
The most inexpensive and versatile kitchen flooring option out there, vinyl is a solid option if you’re on a budget. It resists stains, water, and (most) damage, but keep in mind that it will begin to show signs of wear and tear after about ten years of constant use.
Cork
If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, then cork flooring may be for you. That’s because cork is soft and springy, making it easy and comfortable on our feet. It’s also waterproof, slip-resistant, and durable, added bonuses for the chef of the house.
Bamboo
Bamboo floors have become a hot item in recent years. They’re extremely durable (more so than hardwood) and they come in a variety of colors, sizes, textures, and patterns. They’re also water-resistant but similar to hardwood, you should wipe up big spills immediately to prevent damage.
New Kitchen Countertops and Cabinets
Make your kitchen shine again with contemporary countertops and cabinets and redesign awkward spaces to suit your preferences perfectly. Your old kitchen is a blank page and you can recreate the layout, features, look and feel to make your own signature masterpiece.
