Kitchen Renovators in Baton Rouge: Kitchen Design Trends for the New Year

Did you know that 80% of homebuyers consider a newly refinished kitchen as one of their top factors when determining whether to make an offer on a house or not? In fact, a renovated kitchen, even with mid-range updates, can offer a 50% to 60% return on investment. So, whether you are planning to sell or are planning to stay, and it has been a while since your house was built, or your kitchen has been updated, an expertly upgraded kitchen could pay dividends.

 

Deciding how to renovate arguably the most used room in your home can be challenging. As tastes, styles, and technologies change, it is hard to know where to begin. This is where entrusting your renovation to an experienced team of designers and carpenters becomes so important. Here are a few things to look for in the next and coming years for your potential new kitchen.

 

Slab Backsplashes in the Kitchen

Slab backsplashes proved a modern, clean, and contemporary look. This backsplash option also eliminates grout lines and other busy features typically found in subway tile and other backsplash mosaics. 

 

Natural Light in the Kitchen

Natural light is gaining in popularity. It offers both fashion and function. From expansive windows adjacent to counter space to skylights overworking areas. These light sources complement the other natural elements of contemporary kitchen design, like stone and wood. 

 

Storage and Organization Space in the Kitchen

Cabinet engineering has never been more developed to incorporate comfortable and convenient storage and organization options. These cabinets, drawers, doors, and hardware have become essential in how today’s kitchens function. Deep drawers, sliding shelves, slow-close cabinets, and other features can completely change how your kitchen operates.
