There are few home improvement projects that can match the sensation and pride of a remodeled kitchen. Whether it is completely altering the design, redoing the floors, constructing a new island or simply updating cabinets, there are numerous benefits to a kitchen renovation:

• It allows you to add comfort and personality to the most trafficked room in your home. Remodeling gives you the opportunity to integrate the work triangle, allow plenty of lighting update appliances.
• It increases the value (and sales appeal) of your home. Designers and real estate brokers agree that a kitchen can make or break a home sale as it is often the first and last room potential buyers look at when they visit the home. In addition to increasing the sale value, a remodeled kitchen can also mask other areas of the home that are not quite up to par. National data suggest that homeowners can recoup anywhere from 68% to 75% of their kitchen remodeling costs.
• It allows you to modernize your kitchen's layout. A remodel can provide for an open layout, an island and better cooking stations.
• It lets you consider an open layout — a great way to declutter one of the most popular rooms in the home. It also gives you more space to walk freely as you cook.
• You may add a kitchen island that provides the space need to enhance and transform everyday meals. Islands give you the counter space to spread out your food preparation. An island also gives your children the space to do homework and art projects.
• It gives you the opportunity to expand your storage space by expanding or adding cabinets or building walk-in pantries. Adding slide-out pantries and cabinets will greatly reduce the strain on your back and is convenient for young ones, as well.
