The state of your kitchen can make or break the sale of a home,
however, what happens if you don’t have the funds for a whole
new kitchen? It is possible to give your kitchen a new lease of life
by following some basic rules and making some simple upgrades.
KSA national manager, Stephanie Forbes, has some insights.
It is a huge help if you made wise choices with the kitchen when it was first installed.
Choosing fini shes that are simple and elegant assists in them being timeless and easily
adapted to changing trends. It is always better to express your personal style through
accessories and paint rather than a bold choice of kitchen finish that potential buyers
may not find appealing.
The first step is to assess if your kitchen has enough storage space and work surface
to be of good use to you and to appeal to potential buyers. If not there are some simple
solutions. There are numerous suppliers of DIY cupboard units. These are easily ordered
and assembled. It is possible to add new units in a different finish as long as the new
finish is a good colour and texture combination with the existing units. Another option
is to look at adding a freestanding dresser or shelving unit. A combination of a retro
dresser with a more modern finished kitchen can be very effective. The new addition
can be left in a natural finish or painted in a colour that enhances the look and feel of the
kitchen.
To increase your storage and organizational capacity
there are a variety of storage solutions that can be
added to your cupboards and drawers. These can be
purchased from key kitchen hardware suppliers.
