Remodeling your kitchen will increase the design, function and resale value of a home.
When shopping for a home, most people start in the kitchen. It's the most important room from a functionality and design standpoint. If you plan to sell within 3 to 5 years, focus on a small kitchen renovation that updates a few main areas, such as the cabinets and the countertop. If you plan to stay for 7 to 10 years, you may want to add in appliances and some new tile, and design the kitchen of your dreams.
Here are some quick tips to consider when planning your kitchen Renovation:
Start with your Cabinets as they are usually the most expensive item in a kitchen remodel. You have several different options depending on your budget and style including: Stock, Semi-Custom, or Custom. Framed Versus Frameless, and don't forget the Accessories & Hardware:
When dealing with countertops precise measuring is key to on-budget, on-schedule countertop installations. Also, be sure to clarify the backsplash height and materials in advance. You should look at your options including Laminate, Solid Surface (e.g. Dupont Corian and Silestone), Granite Other Stone and Wood.
Flooring materials are more varied than ever before. All the options available may leave you feeling a little confused about what best suits your needs. Your options include: Vinyl & Linoleum, Ceramic, Quarry, or Stone Tile and Wood.

Remember your kitchen is a High Traffic area, and you'll have dirt from the outside entry door. You should choose something that is easy to clean because spills are common while cooking. And non-slip flooring is always good idea.
