"Trends come and go, materials get worn down, and lifestyles change. There are several compelling reasons to give your kitchen a little makeover, but not all upgrades are created equal. Some upgrades will happily dial up the value of your home, while others are not worth the money. Once you have sorted the wheat from the chaff and narrowed down the additions that will give you maximum bang for your buck, there is another important factor to consider: time."
"Kerrie Kelly, CEO and creative director of Kerrie Kelly Studio, believes that it is possible to refresh your kitchen within the span of a weekend - as long as you choose your projects wisely. Instead of attempting to install a completely new backsplash, you can add peel-and-stick wallpaper for a quick upgrade. Cabinets can be repainted and finished with modern, on-trend hardware. Even simpler measures, such as replacing outlet covers, can make the space feel more personal."
Kitchen updates can increase home value but not all investments pay off. Prioritize quick, high-impact projects that can be completed in a weekend to avoid lengthy disruption. Options include applying peel-and-stick backsplash materials, repainting cabinets, installing modern hardware, adding open shelving, and fitting under-cabinet lighting. Small details like replacing outlet covers and updating drawer pulls refresh appearance without demolition. Focus on durable finishes and on-trend hardware to modernize functionality and style. Evaluate cost versus value to choose upgrades that boost appeal and return on investment while minimizing time and expense.
