There’s a reason why the kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home. Not only is it the place used to produce delicious food, but, from being a space for socialising, to an area where kids can do their homework, it has so much to offer in terms of family life.
With open plan living becoming such a popular concept in modern times, the kitchen makes up part of the area most commonly used in a house. For this reason, having a beautifully designed, bespoke kitchen can add value to your daily life for you and your family.
Not only will a new kitchen add value in terms of improving your living space but many estate agents say that it is one of the biggest focal points when it comes to selling a domestic property. In fact, having an attractive and appealing kitchen can add up to around 10% onto the value of your home. Therefore it makes sense that your kitchen should be one to be proud of.
Making positive changes to your kitchen doesn’t need to be a daunting task however, it can be fun! This is where you can turn your dream kitchen into a reality, one you and your family will enjoy for years to come and can only help to enhance your experience of living there.
Looking to add value to your property?
There’s nothing worse than inviting friends or family around for dinner and being a little embarrassed by how out of date your kitchen is. The space is a little cramped, the appliances aren’t up to scratch and cabinets and drawers aren’t carefully considered, making the whole experience of making dinner turn into a chore.
Then once your guests arrive they aren’t wowed by the simple elegance or intelligent design of your kitchen and instead of being a unique and stylish ‘show-piece’ of your home, the space feels bland and boring.
This is why getting a kitchen you can get value out of, one that inspires you and you’re proud to show your guests for 5-10 years or more before you perhaps decide to sell your home, is a must.
When designing your dream kitchen there are a few things to consider to make sure that your kitchen will remain in keeping with the style of your property:
- Lighting
- Storage and space
- Cabinets and worktops
- Appliances
- Colour schemes
- Fixtures and fittings
To get your kitchen to really come alive, ask advice from a kitchen design expert who can show you some excellent examples of the type of enhancements that would work best. After your initial chat, they will then be able to produce and make changes to your kitchen design using state-of-the-art computer aided design software which will really help to bring your kitchen to life.
The key to ensuring you get a kitchen which adds value to your house, is by giving plenty of time and thought to the whole design process. Then, once you have decided on your design, the custom kitchen build process can take up to 6-8 weeks.
A beautifully designed kitchen is about more than just adding a final value to your house, it’s about the value of living with the kitchen in the meantime. If it does come time to sell your home, the kitchen can become a fantastic centre-piece that will only work to entice buyers and increase the perceived value of your home.
