A kitchen remodel is one of the most exciting yet challenging home improvement projects. It’s a chance to create a space that reflects your style while enhancing functionality and home value. To help guide homeowners through the process, experts at Premium Cabinets in Tulsa, led by owners Gary Gullic and Austin Gullic, gather their top remodeling tips.
Budget-Friendly Upgrades
If you’re looking to maximize impact without breaking the bank, focus on creating open spaces. “The number one thing home buyers want is open spaces,” says Gary Gullic. Simple changes like removing a wall or adding an island can transform the layout. Convenience-focused updates—such as slow-close hinges, pull-out drawers for appliances, and well-organized storage—can also make a big difference. As more homeowners choose to remodel instead of move, these cost-effective upgrades ensure your kitchen remains functional and appealing.
Maximizing Value Without Overspending
A typical kitchen remodel costs around 10% of a home’s value, covering essentials like cabinetry, countertops, flooring, backsplash, fixtures, and appliances. To get the most value, homeowners should first identify their kitchen’s major frustrations. “People spend more time in the kitchen than anywhere else,” notes Gary. Before diving into a remodel, consider how long you plan to stay in your home and what improvements will enhance your daily life. Austin Gullic reminds homeowners to “remember why you started the project.”
Trending Colors and Material Choices
Homeowners looking for a modern and timeless look are gravitating towards natural wood tones like white oak, clear maple, and rustic maple. Greens also remain a popular choice, adding warmth and sophistication. For a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, European frameless flat panel cabinetry is gaining traction, inspired by modern West Coast designs.
When it comes to materials, quality matters. “Cabinets are high-end furniture and a permanent feature in your home,” explains Gary. Homeowners are opting for dovetail drawers, thick plywood shelving, and factory-finished paint for durability and style. Pairing high-quality cabinets with stone countertops and stylish backsplashes creates a polished and long-lasting result.
Visualizing Your Remodel with 3D Design
Premium Cabinets offers 3D design services to help homeowners see their dream kitchen before making commitments. “We can take the dimensions of your space and offer a new perspective on a room you’ve lived in for so long,” says Gary. Customers are actively involved in the rendering process, ensuring the final design meets their expectations.
