According to Jamie Varner, owner of Varner Remodeling, most
kitchen remodels start around $25,000, and on average will range up
to about $50,000.
You can give your kitchen a whole new look in any style from
ultra‑contemporary to French country in this price range. Your
designer and builder can assist you with computer-aided design
(CAD) to help you envision your dream.
Some new trends in the kitchen include spacious farm sinks that
offer tons of space for food prep. Clean, white subway tile can match
virtually any décor, making it a popular choice for backsplashes.
Recycled glass tiles can be found in any color for a look that’s great
for your kitchen and great for the environment as well. Varner says
that mosaic tiles are frequently used and can be laid in customized
patterns for a uniquely personal look.
Although cherry wood cabinets are popular, Varner also says he’s
seeing an increase in white cabinets. Cherry will give your kitchen
a warm feel, while white cabinets will brighten the space and have a
clean appearance.
And for flooring, Varner notes, “You can’t go wrong with natural
stone,” adding that travertine is extremely popular right now. After
the stone is sealed, it’s an easy-care option for homeowners and offers
a lot of longevity.
