When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, sometimes it can be hard to know what areas of
your design to splurge on and where you can save money. In this blog we are going to share
with you some design tips on where you should invest and where you can save money in your kitchen design to avoid remodeling regrets.
Cabinetry- splurge!
Cabinetry is the backbone of your kitchen design in terms of look and function,
which makes it an element you absolutely want to invest in. Not to mention it’s the largest
design element of your space! Because kitchen cabinets are subject to heavy use, poor quality will lead to broken drawers, chipped paint, and warped wood, while high quality cabinetry will keep a kitchen looking brand new for many years.
Countertops- splurge!
While there are dozens of countertop materials available, spending a bit more on
a quality product is often worth it for the added durability and beauty. Similar to cabinetry,
countertops see an incredible amount of wear and tear, not only that but they are also home to spills and other messes. A high-quality countertop will be resistant to stains and scratches,
keeping your kitchen looking brand new longer!

Appliances- save!
When it comes down to it, your kitchen is a place to store and prepare food. This
makes appliances a necessary area to invest in as they are the foundation of your kitchen. Our suggestion is to research available appliance features and decide which features will truly elevate your kitchen’s functionality considering how you use it. There’s no sense in paying more for features that you will never use!
Flooring- splurge!
Just as with cabinetry and countertops, flooring takes a beating over the years due to
the heavy amount of foot traffic in a kitchen. Kitchen floors are also prone to spills and messes which means that they have to be cleaned and sanitized on a frequent basis. Investing in high-quality floor material will keep your floors not only looking great but make them easy to clean as well as scratch and scuff resistant.
Faucet- splurge!
Inexpensive faucets simply won't hold up to everyday use without significant wear and
tear, which will ultimately result in a short lifespan and the inevitability of needing to buy a
replacement. You'll actually end up saving money in the long run by investing in a high-quality faucet; plus, it will look SO much nicer!
