It was probably at the height of fashion when it was first built. But if your kitchen looks more like a nostalgic nod to shows like The Brady Bunch or The Partridge Family than a beautifully contemporary, functional space for mealtimes and family gatherings, it might be time for a change. Still not convinced? We understand. In fact, here’s a little help:
The Top 5 Reasons Not To Remodel Your Kitchen
1. I Don’t Really Like Change
You may not feel like you want to introduce anymore unnecessary changes into your life, but guess what: life does that anyway. Like it or not. You’re not the same person and people you used to be. Many things have changed. And from the universal appeal of greater convenience and efficiency to more serious, hard to ignore matters like increased medical needs, there are many reasons why a kitchen makeover not only makes sense, it may even be necessary.
2. If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
This is a fun one, particularly because it most often comes spouting out of the mouths of the duct tape and superglue crew. It’s time to get honest with yourself: just because you can still operate that cabinet door with the missing hinge DOESN’T mean it’s not broken. In fact, if you take a look around from an unbiased perspective, you’ll probably recognize many repair needs that have been limping along for so long that they really need to be replaced instead. Finishes and hardware wear down over time. If cabinets doors are warped, shelves are bowed, glides are off drawers, and cupboards near the stovetop are soiled with grease and beyond repair, it may be time to remodel.
3. But I Love the Look of My Vintage Appliances
And they still work just fine, right? You may love the retro look, and you may even have a sentimental attachment to them, but do you know who doesn’t love them? Your wallet. That’s right. Huge advancements in energy efficiency and functionality have been made in today’s kitchen appliances. If it’s the look you’re after, many manufacturers offer a number of retro-styled lines.
4. I'm Not Big On Following Trends
Understandably, many people have an aversion to becoming a “slave” to fashion trends. Of course, at a certain point, a kitchen's value diminishes if regular updates are resisted. While you don't need to cater to the latest fads, periodically implementing changes like new cabinets, countertops, and a more efficient space, layout to keep your kitchen fresh and current looking, is important. Kitchen cabinet, countertop and decor styles will quickly reveal a home's age – and often prematurely age and devalue it.
5. There's Just No Way We Can Afford It
This is a pretty common response to the proposition of investing in much needed home maintenance and repairs. Of course, the longer necessary refurbishments are put off, the higher that price tag becomes as damage compounds. We recommend checking again. Today’s interest rates are lower than they were 30 years ago! When it comes to investing in your home's health, function and value, improvement loans may a very wise option. Why not make an investment that will add to your family’s comfort and the value of your home before it's too late and rates skyrocket?
