When it comes to remodeling a room in a house, the kitchen is the reigning king. It’s the most common room to receive extensive remodeling. Even today, when many homeowners focus on remodeling to help facilitate new work-from-home schedules, the kitchen remains the principal focus of remodeling projects. You can find thousands of articles online looking over gorgeous kitchen redesigns and innovative ideas .

We handle kitchen remodeling in Los Angeles, CA and understand why so many homeowners opt to revamp this specific room. Here are the main reasons so many people choose to make this remodeling investment, and why you may want our professional designers and builders to give your kitchen a full make-over.

1. A kitchen is the heart of most homes

We mean heart as both a location and a function. Older kitchens were once separated from the rest of the house as much as possible, but now they’re open to the other living spaces to allow the kitchen to also serve as a gathering place and activity area. As the core of many houses, upgrading a kitchen will benefit the rest of a home in ways small and large.

2. Kitchen appliances have advanced considerably

With bedrooms and living rooms, advances in appliance technology don’t usually require making a significant upgrade to the whole space. Put in a new television, add some shelves, install better outlets. With a kitchen, advances in stoves, ranges, dishwashers, sinks, refrigerators, ventilation, and more require greater work than just plugging in a new device. People who want modern cooking and cleaning convenience require bigger overhauls to modernize their kitchens.

3. Remodels help save water and energy

Old kitchens are often sources of considerable water waste because of antiquated fixtures. When you remodel, you can ask your contractor to focus on making the kitchen water-saving and energy-conserving with appliances like ENERGY STAR dishwashers and highly efficient stoves and ovens. 

4. A new kitchen increases the value of a home

In terms of return on investment, remodeling a kitchen is one of the smartest construction projects you can arrange for a house. Data from 2021 shows that a kitchen remodel will recoup 62% to 77% of its initial investment . The eye of potential buyers often goes straight to the kitchen—it’s the heart of the home after all—and new, water-conserving appliances combined with a beautiful contemporary design have immense appeal. 

5. A remodel makes a kitchen more convenient

Even if you don’t do a lot of cooking and food preparation, you’ll still spend plenty of time in your kitchen. Remodeling can make life in this space much easier by rearranging the layout to improve the work triangle and make everything more convenient. If you do a lot of cooking and entertaining, the kitchen remodel can make an enormous difference in the ease of these tasks.

6. A beautiful kitchen makes a beautiful home

A tired and drab kitchen can tend to make life in your house feel less exciting and rather … “blah.” With a fresh kitchen that has better lighting, more attractive cabinets and surfaces, and an open design, you’ll put a new and joyful spin to your day-to-day life.
