The kitchen is the number one place people choose to remodel in their homes. After all, a remodeled kitchen adds about 30% of the cost back onto your home’s resale value. Here are some things to consider before remodeling your kitchen.

Cabinets

Using a cabinetry contractor Tampa, you can create custom cabinets to perfectly suit any space. Whether you want doors, glass panels or open shelves, there is something to match any kitchen. Add handles and knobs or simple cutouts to drawers and cabinet doors. Choose to paint or stain the wood of your choice. Add decorative trim or keep them simple for a clean modern look.

Flooring

Choose a floor option that is easy to clean and maintain for the kitchen. Grease, water and germs are common on the floors in kitchens. Tile is the most common option because of its easy maintenance and cleaning. However, hardwood or vinyl flooring can also work but do require additional maintenance to keep them looking beautiful.

Countertops

You want to choose a countertop that can last and match your custom-built cabinets. Stone countertops like granite and quartz offer a hardy alternative to Formica. While these options are more expensive, they last longer and look more aesthetically pleasing.

Lighting

You cook in the kitchen and need appropriate light fixtures to see. Add some undercabinet lighting for ambiance in the evening and to see better while chopping near the stove. Pendant lights can add flare to your island or bar top. Can lights are an efficient way to brighten the kitchen.

Appliances

Last but certainly not least, appliances help make the kitchen more functional. Matching appliances add a certain appeal to aesthetics. Energy-efficient models can save you money on your utility bills. Add a fridge with a see-through door or computer to make sure you never forget to buy something at the store. Choose a set that works for your family and your budget.
