There are several different ways to add value to your home, one of the main ones being updating your kitchen or fitting a new one altogether. If you are selling your house, or looking for a new house, the kitchen is generally one of the most important rooms when deciding on a property and a key factor for potential buyers.

We love our kitchens, and for most they are very personal to us. As a result, this can mean some design choices may not be very universal. Whether you are planning on selling your house or you are just looking to invest in your home, here are a few things to consider.

Storage
A good amount of storage is key for an efficient kitchen. Even if you have a small space, there are clever ways to utilise the space you have effectively, with clever hacks and compartments within units.

Open Space
If you have the space, perhaps you could think about creating an open plan design kitchen and dining area. This is becoming increasingly popular as we spend more and more time in our kitchens. This also gives flexibility to possibly add a breakfast bar or kitchen island.

Neutral colours
Kitchen colour trends come and go, and whilst a certain colour may be your friend of very on trend, it may not be to everyone’s taste and this can be enough to put potential buyers off. Keep things neutral. This also gives you the opportunity to personalise your space in other ways.

There is a lot to consider when you are planning to renovate your kitchen. Don’t forget these simple tips and if you have any others, please share them with us!
