Create Your Dream Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it's no surprise that remodeling this room can pay handsome dividends when you sell. According to last year's national averages, you'll recoup 71–83% of your cost by remodeling the kitchen.
Best of all, quality updates can make a huge impact. Changing out the cabinetry, installing new floors, or dabbing on a fresh coat of paint can impact the room's mood.
Make a Statement with New Flooring
If you're looking to start from the ground up, consider installing hardwood floors in your kitchen. According to Biltmore™ For Your Home partner Anderson Flooring, wood flooring can add as much as $7,000–$10,000 to your home's resale value. Aside from the monetary value, wood adds a natural warmth and elegance that never looks outdated.
For low maintenance, choose a hardwood floor with low-gloss. This finish is less like to show scratches and wear. For classic style, select a floor from Anderson's Biltmore collection that features textures, colors, and finishes inspired by the estate.
Stay Stylish with New Cabinets
Updating your kitchen cabinetry is also a solid investment. Trading outdated cabinets for fresh designs can brighten up the space and give the room an immediate facelift.
According to HGTV, painted cabinets are the popular trend with colors such as sage, yellow, and off-white leading the pack. Executive Kitchens' Biltmore collection falls right in step with hues such as Mossy Green, Jersey Cream, and Pastry Kitchen yellow. And if you're looking for an earth-friendly option, Executive Kitchens offers green choices that feature water-based finishes and renewable wood materials.
Choose a Soothing Paint Color
Looking for instant gratification and the most bang for your buck? Try a fresh coat of paint. Create a calming atmosphere and stay in fashion by selecting peaceful hues reminiscent of your favorite day spa. And be sure to use a semi-gloss paint. It dries with a harder finish, which means you enjoy maximum durability in this high-traffic, high-moisture room. Olympic Paints' Biltmore Collection features the colors most requested by Biltmore's guests and include trendy shades such as Kitchen Yellow and Moorland Room trim—a classic soft green.
Build a Beautiful Kitchen Using Home Plans
If you're starting from scratch, choose a house plan that offers everyday elegance with Southern Living house plans. The collection includes homes inspired by estate structures, mixed with a dash of modern sensibility. The result is a design that combines the best of the past with the convenience of today.
