A great kitchen can play a valuable role if you\u2019re looking to sell or rent, as it is one of the homiest areas of a property.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to renovate then onsell and make a profit, it pays to get to know the current trends and what buyers or tenants will be looking for in a properly furnished kitchen. You will obviously seek to save, but don\u2019t go too low-budget on materials \u2013 people can see through cheap, quick-fix solutions, which are a major turnoff .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a rule of thumb, aim to spend 2% of the property\u2019s renovated value on your kitchen renovation,\u201d says Julie Anglesey, founder of Renovating Made Easy.<\/p>\n<p>Furniture superstores like Bunnings and IKEA offer kitchen design services to help you figure out what you can do with your space. The plans they come up with can also help you coordinate the services of your electrician and plumber.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_1.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><strong>STEP ONE: BE REALISTIC WITH FURNISHINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to become overwhelmed by a large kitchen space, which may cause you to overspend on appliances and flashy furnishings that are not actually necessary. Being strict with your budget helps you keep things realistic.<br \/>\n\u201cBeing realistic enabled me to be comfortable with choosing laminate benches, cupboards with door fronts, and inexpensive appliances,\u201d Anglesey explains.<br \/>\nThe important thing is to have sturdy working equipment, even if it may not be \u2018TV worthy\u2019. Seek out diff erent sources, like discount stores or Gumtree, to find quality appliances at affordable prices. IKEA is a good place to get basic cupboards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nAllot adequate time to research prices of materials and appliances. Avoid buying on a whim as you could wind up blowing a chunk of your budget on something that could have come cheaper<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_2.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><strong>STEP TWO: KNOW YOUR THEME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you renovating for personal use, to increase your rent, or to make a sale? The purpose of your renovation can influence which direction you go in with regard to the design of the kitchen.<br \/>\nFor instance, you\u2019ll want to look at which design schemes are popular with buyers if you\u2019re planning to sell \u2013 a current trend is earthy textures and contrasting colours. The key is to deliver a renovated home that looks ready to move into.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking to rent, neutral shades may be the way to go, as they offer a simple and classy look and are durable, features that will appeal to tenants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nThe kitchen is one of the messier areas of the house, so it\u2019s important to go for surfaces and paint that can withstand constant wiping and scrubbing without fading easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_3.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>STEP THREE: MAKE THE TAP A CENTREPIECE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Taps don\u2019t have to be a throwaway part of your kitchen\u2019s aesthetic. With the myriad designs available, taps can actually become an attractive centrepiece of your design.<br \/>\nA snazzy-looking tap is the perfect thing to make an island bench pop if you\u2019ve got a sink there, for instance. Black taps are rising in popularity as an elegant new alternative to the usual stainless steel and chrome.<br \/>\nSocial media sites like Pinterest and Instagram off er great inspiration for how to feature tapware in your kitchen, and you can find low-priced taps in places like Bunnings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nJust because you want the tapware to stand out doesn\u2019t mean you need to spend a fortune. Beautiful sleek designs priced at around $200 can add wow factor, so unless the property is extremely highend, there\u2019s no need to invest in $800 Grohe mixer sets.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_3_1.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_4.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><strong>STEP FOUR: CREATE BEAUTIFUL BENCHTOPS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A beautiful new benchtop is a great way to spruce up your kitchen without any structural work, which is especially useful if you\u2019re on a budget. Laminate and stone are the most popular materials.<br \/>\nStone looks great but can be very expensive.<br \/>\nLaminate benchtops are ideal for kitchens with a minimalist, basic design, and they are much cheaper. Laminates can also offer a stone-like finish at a fraction of the cost.<br \/>\nOther benchtop options include stone overlay, \u2018self-cleaning\u2019 timber and resurfacing, which involves using a roll-on product like Rust-Oleum\u2019s Countertop Transformations to give your benchtop a new finish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking to resurface your benchtop, make sure the original surface is smooth and clean \u2013 no cracks, chips, grease or dust \u2013 and that surrounded surfaces are covered. This gives it a highquality finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_5.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP FIVE: LIGHT IT UP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Good lighting is crucial in the kitchen, considering its purpose.<br \/>\nThus you need to think about functionality and not just look.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cYou want to make sure that work surfaces are well lit without casting shadows.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Downlights positioned above benches and LED strip lighting recessed beneath overhead cupboards can add this practical aspect to your kitchen lighting,\u201d Anglesey says.<\/p>\n<p>Ambient lighting from pendant lights is ideal for areas of the kitchen you\u2019re not cooking in,<br \/>\nsuch as an island bench, as this type of lighting makes the space feel warm and cosy.<br \/>\nIt can help create a homey atmosphere suitable for entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_6.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>STEP SIX: INSTALL A CHARGING STATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given the heavy reliance of the kitchen on electricity, it\u2019s vital to have a lot of power points installed. These need to be fi gured into your design so that their placement doesn\u2019t inconvenience anyone or risk a safety hazard.<br \/>\nPower points are useful not just for appliances but because of the modern tendency to rely on gadgets as recipe sources.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you have an island bench, it\u2019s a great idea to have a combination power point\/USB charger installed at the end of the cabinetry to make sure the future inhabitants have somewhere to charge their phones and iPads while working in their beautiful kitchen,\u201d Anglesey recommends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nAlways be mindful of spillage in the kitchen, especially near power points, as this could spell disaster. Even if the power point is waterproof, that can only prevent so much damage<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_7.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>STEP SEVEN: UPDATE THE FLOORING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Durable, easy-to-maintain flooring is a must for a good kitchen. The typical choices of material are ceramic or porcelain tiles, hardwood, vinyl, laminate and cork \u2013 many of these are affordable and can take the inevitable spillage.<br \/>\nVinyl flooring is a piece of cake to install and can simply be laid over existing flooring that\u2019s in good condition. Laminate flooring comes in boards that are easy to lay down and looks great but is more sensitive to water and moisture, even if it is stain and scratch resistant. Ceramic tiles are extremely durable and only need to be sealed properly to avoid getting grease in the grout joints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nThe kitchen floor should be built to withstand constant cleaning, so make sure that tiles are glazed. Reseal tiles approximately every three years to maintain the protective layer, and always have replacement tiles on hand just in case.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_8.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>STEP EIGHT: CHOOSE THE PERFECT SPLASHBACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The right splashback can serve as the ultimate exclamation point to a renovated kitchen. It can be the focal point of the design, or bring together all the design elements.<br \/>\nTo tie things together, you can use the same material on your benchtop and splashback. The key is to ensure that it is great at absorbing kitchen messes. Common materials include tile, glass, acrylic, stone and steel.<br \/>\nMetal has become a hit for its sleek, modern design and durability, while tile is the easiest to maintain and the most versatile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOP TIP<\/strong><br \/>\nTo clean your splashback, spray it with a non-abrasive all-round cleaner and leave it on for 20 minutes. This allows the cleaner to penetrate the surface. Then use a non-abrasive rag to wipe it down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CASE STUDY<\/strong><br \/>\nJulie Anglesey maximised available resources to save money and stay within budget on her kitchen renovation<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/YIP129_Cover%2012-17_CASE%20STUDY.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With over five years of personal and professional renovation experience, Anglesey was aiming to turn a generous profit when she embarked on a signifi cant kitchen renovation in a rundown property in Secret Harbour,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au\/top-suburbs\/wa-6000-perth.aspx\">Perth<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe space was large, with many cupboards.<\/p>\n<p>Anglesey\u2019s original plan was to retain the cabinets\u2019 foundations, but she quickly found herself having to adjust.<br \/>\n\u201cThe original bench and cupboard doors were unsalvageable.
