What should you keep in mind while remodeling your kitchen? If you’re like me, you keep seeing all these cool ideas in magazines and want to try them out. Before you do, there are five big kitchen trends you should keep in mind:
1. Quartz countertops. We spend more money on our countertops than anything else in the kitchen. Right now, people are looking for quartz countertops. We still see granite, but it’s being outpaced by the durability and look of quartz.
2. Bigger islands. People are making their center islands bigger. If you have a smaller island, you might want to consider expanding it.
“The top colors are, you guessed it, white and grey."
3. Laminated vinyl floors. These floors are awesome. They look like wood, but you can drive a truck across them. Not to mention, you can spill anything on them, and they’ll still clean up great.
4. White and grey colors. These are the top color choices today, whether you’re doing backsplash, flooring, or cabinetry. You don’t see the wood color anymore.
5. High-end appliances. People are looking for fancy appliances right now. They want the refrigerators you can see into, the high-end oven, and more. However, there’s currently a six-to-eight-month backlog on appliances right now. If you want to remodel before you sell, you might be better off offering an allowance to replace the old appliances instead of waiting.
