Kitchen Upgrade vs Kitchen Remodel: Which Option Is Best for Your Home?

Every homeowner, after some time, feels like the kitchen just does not fit anymore. Perhaps it needs a new benchtop. It could be that the kitchen design makes no sense. Or maybe it's the desire to update the kitchen for the lifestyle. 

However, most Sydney homeowners find themselves asking a question when the time comes to choose between renovations and remodelling.

At Multiplex Kitchens, we assist people in making a selection between these two options. This is the way we approach the issue.

1. What Is a Kitchen Upgrade?

A kitchen upgrade Sydney would be an improvement of a few elements in the kitchen without changing the kitchen design significantly. The structure will not be moved around, the size of the kitchen will not be changed, your plumbing will not be changed as well, but you will be enhancing the surfaces, fixtures and fittings that make the kitchen most appealing.

Residents looking for a Kitchen Upgrade Sydney usually opt for:

• Fitting new doors and drawers in their cabinets.
• Fitting new stone or quartz benches.
• Installing a new splashback made from porcelain or glass.
• Installing new handles and taps.
• Fitting new appliances or lighting.

This choice works well for kitchens whose design is good but looks outdated.

2.                What Exactly Is a Kitchen Remodel?

A Kitchen Remodel Sydney takes it to another level. It includes reconfiguration, relocation of pipes and power points, total replacement of cabinetry, and a complete rebuild of the kitchen space. This will be ideal for kitchens with a problematic existing layout, like lack of functionality, inadequate storage, or an outdated layout based on your family needs.

We have found that a complete Kitchen Remodel Sydney is the ideal solution when:

• The existing layout is wasting space or creating traffic problems.
• There is inadequate storage even if well organised.
• You intend to sell and increase the property's worth.
• Your kitchen is out of place with the rest of your home.

Remodelling may also require more time and materials, but the outcome will be a fully designed kitchen to meet your requirements.

3.                How to Make the Right Choice

Our standard opening question is always the same – do you have a functional or aesthetic issue with your kitchen? If it is outdated but functional, then a renovation is the most practical way to go forward. However, if you hate using the kitchen, then a renovation would fix the problem at its core.

Kitchen Upgrade Sydney is ideal if you are looking for a budget-friendly aesthetic change to your kitchen. On the other hand, a renovation is perfect if you want something that is as much functional as it is beautiful.
