When Renovating to Sell, Focus on Kitchen Modernization, But Don’t Go Overboard
“Designing for a sale tends to be more about showing potential, without necessarily realizing that potential,” said Greg Roth of Home Front Build, a design/build firm in Los Angeles. “For example, budget allowing, it would be reasonable to open up a kitchen to an adjacent room or to the exterior, as a way of expanding and maximizing space, but then maybe you spend less, say, on new cabinets. This way, you show potential but allow for the buyer to remodel the cabinets to suit their tastes, if they so desire.”
