Kitchen Upgrades to Complete Your Kitchen Remodel
If you're remodeling your kitchen in Houston, TX, there are several upgrades you can make to complete the look and functionality of your space. Here are some of the best kitchen upgrades to consider:
High-end appliances: Upgrading to high-end, professional-grade appliances is one of the best ways to transform your kitchen. Consider brands like Wolf, Sub-Zero, Thermador or Bosch for refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers and more. These appliances are attractive, ultra-durable and deliver an unparalleled cooking experience.
Premium countertops: Your countertops see a lot of action, so upgrading to a premium material is worth the investment. Quartz and granite countertops are attractive options that are durable and heat/scratch resistant. Marble countertops are luxurious but require more maintenance.
Custom cabinetry: Custom cabinetry can give your kitchen a high-end, built-in look. Work with a cabinet maker to design custom cabinets made from wood, lacquer or laminate in your desired style. Soft-close hinges and drawer slides, crown molding and under-cabinet lighting all add to the custom look.
designer backsplash**: A custom backsplash is the perfect opportunity to add visual interest and style to your kitchen. Materials like ceramic tile, metal tile, stone and brick are great for backsplashes. Carry the material up to the ceiling for a dramatic look.
Hardwood floors: Hardwood floors are a timeless choice for kitchens and complement any style. Their natural beauty and durability make them a perfect kitchen flooring material. Choose a hardwood that can stand up to temperature changes and moisture like Brazilian walnut, hickory or maple.
Smart home features: Upgrading your kitchen with smart home features will make the space more functional and high-tech. Consider adding voice-controlled lighting, a smart thermostat to control the temperature, a smart speaker to play music and set timers, and smart locks for cabinetry.
Custom lighting: Good lighting is essential in a kitchen. Add custom pendant lighting over your island or range, recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting and dimmers to control the mood. Chandeliers and statement light fixtures will give your kitchen a dramatic focal point.
Unique sinks**: An apron-front farmhouse sink or a modern stainless steel sink will make a statement in your kitchen. Double sinks make it easy to wash large items and rinse produce. Some sinks even have built-in accessories like cutting boards, colanders and drying racks.
Furniture-style kitchen island**: A kitchen island gives you extra counter space and storage and can make a stylish focal point. Choose a furniture-style island with cabinetry, drawers and counter space. Adding wheels to one end of the island means you can move it out of the way when not in use.
Built-in wine refrigerator**: If you entertain often or just enjoy a glass of wine, a built-in wine refrigerator keeps your collection perfectly chilled. A freestanding or under-counter wine fridge holds several dozen bottles in an attractive display. Some models even have dual temperature zones for red and white wines.
Pot filler**: A pot filler faucet installed over your stovetop makes it easy to fill large pots and stockpots. Look for a high-arc spout that swivels out of the way when not in use. Pot fillers are a convenient upgrade that home chefs will appreciate.
Garbage disposal: A garbage disposal makes cleanup much easier by grinding food scraps into small particles that wash down the drain. Look for a disposal with a powerful motor, sound insulation and a warranty of at least 5-10 years. Button or sensor-activated models are more hygienic than traditional foot pedal activators.
