According to industry experts, a minor kitchen design and remodeling is in the top 5 most important home improvement projects this year which has average cost of $22,507. The experts are recommending various things like home design and improvement projects to give the homes the correct revamp, especially the kitchen.

Suzanne Cook, owner of NYC-based Atmosphere Kitchen & Bath, who specializes in high-end yet functional spaces in a city where average apartments are under 900 square feet, has a specific and essential tip to give. She says that by lining the wall adjacent to a kitchen with base cabinets as well as upper cabinets, people will get additional storage.

Spaces Design kitchens, one of the high end kitchen design studio, considers the kitchen is the focal point of the home. Kitchen is a workplace thus some components tend to get cluttered or dirty. The sink can then do a disappearing act by hiding with a sliding wood counter-top. It also doubles as an eating area when open. Sliding wood panel can be attached that can hide cabinets to create a smoother aesthetic.

Value engineering is needed that is use of visual components that seem high-end but are actually affordable. As the real wood veneers can be pricey, the laminate manufacturers have come out with unbelievable options that look and feel like real wood without the cost. Another tip is to update the hardware, starting with the faucet. A dishwasher can be installed too as it is not a pricey upgrade, costing $400 to $700 on Home Depot’s site to buy new, plus around $200 to install.
