5 Ways to Transform Your Kitchen and Bath with the Look of Luxury
(NewsUSA) - According to a recent Houzz report, kitchens remain the most renovated interior room (29%), followed closely by guest and primary bathrooms (27% and 25%, respectively). In 2023, the median spend for kitchen renovations climbed by 20% to $24,000, while primary bath projects saw an 11% increase, reaching $15,000. With home improvement investments rising, here are five transformative kitchen and bath upgrades to elevate your space without breaking the bank:
- Create a Spa-inspired Bathroom –The Wetwall™ Waterproof Wall Panel System is an affordable and easy way to create spa-worthy retreats that deliver high-end style without the need for disruptive demolitions. Thanks to grout-free, tongue-and-groove panels that can be installed over virtually any existing material including tile, this upgrade can be completed in as little as 2.5 hours. Available in high-end designs, the panels are perfect for shower walls, bath surrounds, accent walls, and cladding and can instantly transform your bathroom into a spa-worthy retreat buyers will love.
- Update Your Countertops – Countertops are a key focal point in kitchens and bathrooms, and upgrading your tops can instantly refresh any space. Quartz delivers the elegance of natural stone with superior durability, offering a luxurious yet practical surface. For homeowners who love the look of Taj Mahal quartzite, Wilsonart® Quartz Glencoe and Marathi Marble designs provide stunning alternatives that capture the same timeless beauty with enhanced durability. For seamless, low-maintenance integration, Wilsonart® Solid Surface is perfect, providing a sleek look for countertops, backsplashes, and even integrated sinks in both kitchens and baths.
- Refresh Your Flooring – Flooring is an often-overlooked element in kitchen and bathroom makeovers, but it’s crucial for both function and style. Consider water-resistant flooring for kitchens, such as luxury vinyl planks or tiles that offer the warmth of wood without the maintenance. For bathrooms, opt for durable, moisture-proof options like porcelain tile or vinyl. These materials add elegance while standing up to the demands of high-traffic areas.
- Upgrade Your Cabinets – Updating your cabinets can help elevate your living environment to a new level of luxuriousness. The LUJO® Collection inspires with a sense of reassurance and comfort that can transform any space into a sanctuary. The collection allows you to choose luxurious wood species for cabinets/case goods, cabinet interiors and closet systems and is stain and moisture resistant, allowing for simple cleaning and disinfection. It can also be easily combined with other engineered surfaces, allowing you to create a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic for your living spaces.
- Transform with Paint – Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. In 2024, expect to see a continued focus on nature-inspired shades like soft greens, warm taupes, and muted blues in kitchens and bathrooms alike. Accent walls in bolder hues, such as deep blues or rich terracottas, are also trending for those looking to add a pop of personality without overwhelming the space.
