Kitchen Renovations

Kitchens are at the centre of a family's daily lives, where meals are made and family and friends will gather. A well designed kitchen can really help sell a house.

There are plenty of ways to work with what you've got like painting kitchen cabinets or simply swapping out appliances, although if budget allows a full kitchen renovation is where the real benefits are. On average people tend to upgrade their kitchens every 10 to 15 years and can spend between $40,000 and $120,000*, even more if premium appliances are included.

Reasons to renovate your kitchen can include:

1. Current kitchen is deteriorating
2. Modernising the look of your kitchen
3. Adding functionality to suit your lifestyle
4. Increasing storage space
5. Increasing the resale value of your home
6. Improving energy and water efficiency

When tackling a kitchen renovation items to consider are:

• Goals, budget and time frame
