A kitchen renovation can be the most profitable home renovation for someone selling a home in the Perth market. Recently, realestate.com.au conducted a survey. 26% of those who responded said they would start any home renovation with the kitchen.
One of the “dirty little secrets” of the real estate sales industry is that the kitchen is the most important room in the home when a couple is making a buying decision. This has been true as long as we know; it has become even more important since cable TV began to create so many cooking shows. It seems like everyone is an amateur chef now: a great kitchen can increase the value and marketability of any home.
According to the survey, over 50% of those polled want more storage space and more bench space in their kitchens. One of the big differences between this era and the era of young baby boomer families: 40% want natural light and 27% want an open floor plan.
Design Factors
Whether or not you decide on an open floor plan, getting some light into the kitchen is a must. Here are some other design factors.
Classic Surfaces
Quality white laminate or refurbished stone bench tops are two great options. The quality of the surfaces affects the entire “look” of the kitchen.
Neutral Colours
White and other neutral colours are the best for a kitchen when trying to sell a home. This allows the buyer to adapt the kitchen to their own aesthetic. Open shelving can also provide the flexibility a buyer wants.
Quality and Craftsmanship
You cannot skimp on quality and craftsmanship. These elements will provide profit when you sell your home.
