Here are some top signs that you should, from wear and tear to poor flow to lack of storage.
1. Lack of Storage
If yourexisting kitchen cabinets and drawers are overflowing and stuffed with dishes, Tupperware, utensils and small appliances, this lack of storage capacity can feel very stifling. A kitchen remodel with give you much-needed storage space so the room doesn’t feel cluttered and thus becomes more functional.
2. Inefficient Layout
Some kitchens were just created with an inefficient layout from day one. Whether you have an older home that was designed for a bygone era or your family has expanded greatly over the years, your existing layout may have become inefficient. You may have a tiny counter space, or a large island that gets in the way of everything. Maybe your sink is located across the kitchen from your dishwasher, or your fridge doors crowd the area when opened.
Whatever the case, you can improve your layout when you tackle a kitchen remodel.
3. High Maintenance
The kitchen is undoubtedly one of the most challenging spaces in the house to keep clean. That’s not surprising, what with all the spills, smoke, grease, stains and dirt that are involved. As part of a remodel, you could add a new backsplash, cabinets and countertops, flooring, and modern appliances that make cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
4. Outdated Appliances
You needkitchen appliances to ensure functionality and aesthetics. When your fridge, stove, dishwasher and other appliances are outdated, they likely don’t work properly and are not very energy-efficient either.
