A kitchen is usually the most coveted room of a home. For many buyers, this is the main room that holds the deciding factor on if they will choose to put an offer on a home or not. What are some of the features that universally draw people in and increase the value of the home?

 

Lots of Lighting – Whether from windows or designer lights, good lighting in the kitchen is a must. Many owners are playing with unique, eye-catching overhead lighting that accents a specific area of the kitchen, such as an island or stove.

 

Charging Stations – In the age of technology, a growing popular feature of the kitchen is a charging station. Having a central hub for gadgets in a common area is making entertaining convenient and much easier.

 

Smart, Wi-Fi Enabled Appliances – Ever heard of an appliance that you access from your smartphone? Smart appliances are a new trend in updated kitchens. Don’t worry about stepping away from your party or even chores. Tapping a button can start preheating the oven for you!

 

Countertops – Countertops take up a huge portion of what the eye sees in a kitchen. Make them attractive! The two most popular countertops are granite and quartz. Splurging on the best countertops can really impress a potential buyer.

 

Islands – Create more workspace in the kitchen with a unique, classy island. It can help tie the room together as well as allow for a more entertainment-friendly kitchen as a whole.

 

Faucets – Faucets these days are also all about technology. From touching them on and off to water-saving technology, faucets add a fun accent to sinks as well as provide additional top tier features to the room.

 

Induction Tops – Built-in induction tops add an element of sophistication and additional tools for optimal usage in the kitchen. Induction tops are designed for energy-efficiency, providing faster and more consistent heating.
