When purchasing a home, what once seemed charming and quaint can, over time, become tiring and outdated. Gold foil wall paper and avocado appliances had a retro look; you considered them quirky when you first bought the house. Over time, however, those details will need updating. Initially, the galley kitchen was practical and convenient with everything within an arm’s reach. You joked about how only two people could be in there at a time. Three was a crowd. Perhaps, knocking out the wall between the kitchen and dining room would offer more room for entertaining.
Stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinet doors and granite counter tops draw your eye when flipping through magazines. A kitchen remodel can be one of the most expensive home improvement projects, but also the most rewarding, especially if you are staying in your home. Interior renovations in Manhattan NY can help you design the kitchen of your dreams, a kitchen where family and friends come to sit, visit and be fed. Fond memories are created with good food, good conversation and love. Your kitchen can be that room.
Simple and basic details like kitchen lighting have changed. Exposed and hidden fixtures, lights that look more like pieces of art or sculptures and focused lighting will improve a cook’s work space. It’s a pleasure to work in a well lit kitchen. Large seamless, granite counter tops are currently the most sought after and installed materials in new home construction. Interior Renovations can install that same granite feature in your kitchen. There is a wide range of colors, thicknesses and finishes available. Granite counter tops add long lasting beauty, durability and are easy to maintain. Gone are the days of Formica flecked with gold specks and the butcher block counters.
The kitchen is where family and friends usually gravitate. A space that is easy to work in and has comfortable seating is appealing. Your family can sit and chat while you are preparing the meal. It is a gathering place where memories are created. For some, cooking is meditative. After a long day at work, coming home to a kitchen that is well-lit, spacious and comfortable can help a day end on a positive note. Interior Renovations in Manhattan can help you remodel your 1970’s kitchen into a beautiful and inviting room, the heart of your home.
