Did you know that remodeling your kitchen is one of the best ways to add value to your Portland Oregon Real Estate?
Before getting ready to start your kitchen renovation it’s important to learn more about the top kitchen remodeling trends for 2015 so you don’t make the mistake of remodeling your kitchen using materials or trends which may have been popular last year.
Are Granite Counter Tops Still In?
Yes, granite counter tops are still one of the most frequently requested materials which home owners are requesting for their kitchen counter tops in 2015 although some homeowners are also starting to look at other materials like quartz as well.
Is Stainless Steel Still Popular?
If you watch well-known home remodeling shows like House Hunters Renovation, they will tell you that stainless steel is no longer as popular as it once was.
The truth with stainless steel is that many home owners are still requesting stainless steel appliances for the kitchens in their Portland Oregon Real Estate because, they equate stainless steel as being “high class” material.
Although you might be tempted to choose all stainless steel for your kitchen, make sure you think about your long term plan for your home and realize that if you plan on selling it in 5 years you might want to choose more than one color or material type for the appliances in your kitchen.
Custom Cabinetry Is Hot Right Now
As a homeowner, one of the biggest things you can do to increase the value of your Portland Oregon Real Estate is to choose custom cabinetry for your kitchen.
Custom cabinetry is important since it will effectively give any size kitchen more storage space and that’s an important factor in contributing to your long term enjoyment of your home.
