10 Kitchen Renovation Upgrades That Aren't Worth The Money
By KELLY WELTON
Too Trendy
Opt for classic rather than overly trendy styles that are timeless and have a wider appeal, particularly for more high-investment elements like cabinetry and countertops.
Dramatic Lights
Stylized and dramatic lighting fixtures are pricey and often set-it-and-forget-it elements. For style longevity, opt for moderately sized and well-crafted fixtures.
Pricey Appliances
Instead of overly large and luxury appliances for kitchen renovation, opt for practical design features that are functional rather than just show-off pieces.
Cheap Appliances
Overly cheap appliances can also devalue a thoughtfully designed space. Appliances are the workhorses of the kitchen so they shouldn't be skimped on.
Busy Backsplashes
Overly trendy backsplashes may not be worth drawing attention to in a few years, so stick to neutral-toned tile, classic white subway tiles, or stone countertops.
