Kitchen Remodeling May 14

1 - Change the lighting.

Something as simple as getting rid of the shadows in your kitchen can add real appraised value to your home. You also feel more welcome, and it will be much easier to find the resources that are actually in the living space. Improving the lighting will also reduce the chances of home accidents.When you deal with the lighting in your home, you may also have to change some of the color schemes as well when the lighting brings out different aspects of the decor. Although this may be one of the more expensive options on the list, it is definitely one that will pay off in the long run.

2 - Have the faucet replaced.

In all models of home, the faucet is a natural point of convergence. Upgrading your faucet to a more modern iteration can improve feng shui of the entire room. Newer faucet models also usually have energy-saving mechanisms built-in, so you will actually be using less water, resulting in a lower bill as you increase the overall utility in your home! In order to be sure of this, ask your interior design partner for faucets that have been guaranteed to use less water.

3 - Add a rug.

If you are really retched for resources, one of the easiest ways to upgrade any room is to add a rug. All that you really have to do is make sure that the rug matches the decor of the room and does not clash with cabinet linings or countertops that you already have set up.

4 - Upgrade the utility of a room with a dish rack.

A dish rack has hidden utility as well as providing an air of panache to the room. Keeping your wet dishes in a single location will protect the wood as well as the other perishable surfaces that you have in the kitchen. This will extend the life of the entire room and protect your wallet from large improvement expenditures down the line.

5 - Change the ugly countertops.

Just like your faucet, your countertops naturally draw the attention of the eye. If you always find yourself squinting when you look at your countertops, it is time to change them.This is one of more in-depth changes that you can make, and you will probably need the assistant of an aesthetic and a technically inclined interior decorating partner. However, just like the faucet, this is one of the investments that will definitely pay off far into the future!There are always effective ways to increase the equity in your home if you keep your ear to the ground. The above five tips will get you started on the right foot no matter what your budget for home improvement may be!Remake or remodel your bathroom and/or kitchen today with Kurtis Kitchen & Bath.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
