You get what you pay for; that is especially true when it comes to kitchen remodeling. Learn what’s worth the extra cost and what upgrades you can skip.
- Choose a Stronger Sink
If you’re going stainless, research sink options that are 16-gauge stainless steel, rather than 18-22-gauge options. This is because 16-gauge steel is thicker (it measures 1/16″), which offers more resistance against dings and dents. - Add Recessed Lights
Don’t rely solely on pendants or under-counter lights when it comes to kitchen lighting. Recessed lights are a subtle and affordable way to brighten a space when you need the extra light. Consider having these lights on a dimmer to give you flexibility. - Invest in Coordinated Appliances
Matching appliances create consistency which adds value, but you can also maximize your financial investment by purchasing an appliance bundle. If there’s a specific fridge or oven you’ve been eyeing, be sure to ask if there’s an opportunity for a discount if you bundle multiple appliances in one purchase.
