Make a splash! Americans spent nearly $200 billion on kitchen and bath remodeling this year. It’s becoming easier and more affordable to make kitchen and bath upgrades. 

However, you have many different options for bath and kitchen upgrades. You should narrow your options down and select projects that will make your life more comfortable and save you the most money. 

What devices should you install in your kitchen and bathroom? How can you increase storage space? What are your options for a cheap kitchen upgrade or bath upgrade?

Answer these questions and you can make incredible improvements to your home in no time. Here is your quick guide.

Energy-efficient appliances can help you save hundreds of dollars on your electricity bills. They can also make your home seem eco-friendly, encouraging someone to buy your home. 

You can place a new dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator in your kitchen. In your bathroom, you can switch out your incandescent bulbs for LEDs, which use 75% less energy than incandescent products.

Cabinets provide storage solutions that don’t take up space on your floor. Stainless steel cabinets can make your kitchen seem sleek and spotless. They are also very durable, making them good if you use your kitchen often.

Many people also opt for wood cabinets in their bathrooms. It’s okay to get a new wooden cabinet, and proper care will ensure these don’t retain water over time. 

If you’re looking for a bold kitchen upgrade, you should consider adding an island to your kitchen. A kitchen island gives you extra room to prepare dishes, and it can double as a serving area. 

Take a look at your kitchen and see how big your island can be. Even a small island in the center of your kitchen can help. Leave a few feet of space around it so you can move around without difficulty. 

Find a good material for your island like granite and quartz. There are many types of stone, so read about the differences between material before making your decision.

Shower doors prevent water from your shower and bathtub from spilling into the rest of your bathroom. They can also act as privacy barriers. If you’re looking for a low-budget bath upgrade, you should consider installing a shower door.

Try to install a heavy glass door that is one-half an inch thick. If you really like your door, you can turn your shower into a steam shower, creating a spa in your home.

The right kitchen and bath upgrades will take your home to the next level. To save on energy bills, you should install eco-friendly appliances and lights. Put at least one cabinet in each room so you have enough storage space for your family.

A kitchen island with a granite countertop can look bold and act as a serving and dining area. Shower doors are also bold, and they can prevent slips on your wet floor.
