When you bought a starter home, you may have known that you would refrain from major remodeling due to selling the house sometime in the near future. But, this does not mean that you should hesitate to do any remodeling to increase satisfaction while you are living there. Working on minor kitchen remodeling projects can also increase the home's appeal to buyers.
Cabinet Refacing
An excellent feature to start on is the cabinets because you do not have to worry about replacing them altogether to make noticeable improvements. Refacing the kitchen cabinets is all you need to do to make the changes and upgrades that you are interested in. This project often involves covering the cabinets, replacing the doors, installing new drawers, and adding new hardware.
To make the best design decisions, you will likely want to go with a neutral theme since you will be trying to sell the property later, and appealing to everyone is ideal for selling.
Backsplash
If you have a substandard backsplash or none at all, you should not hesitate to invest in a nice one because it can give your kitchen the standout feature that it needs to look more impressive. While you may have many unique options to choose from, you cannot go wrong with a popular choice.
A remodeling company should know a lot about kitchen trends, so you can use their knowledge to pick a backsplash that is common in modern homes and that will entice potential buyers.
Sink
Replacing the sink is something that you may want to consider because the project is quite minor compared to other remodeling projects and it can have a major impact in the room. Going with an undermount sink is great since it makes the area easier to clean due to not having a sink lip.
At the same time, you can replace the faucet handles for ones that look high-end. You may even want to go with a touchless faucet for a modern and luxurious touch.
Lighting
Making improvements to kitchen lighting can make cooking more pleasant while also leading to better-looking photos when it comes to listing the home for sale. While you may know where the lighting may be lacking, you can also ask remodelers to come up with a detailed lighting plan. If you want to make the kitchen look a little more luxurious, you can always add a chandelier.
Improving your starter home should be easy to do with these minor kitchen remodeling projects.
