In our experience, home renovations here in the U.S. are getting more common than ever. According to Today's Homeowner, more than half of American homeowners will do a home renovation this year. Here are reasons why renovations have become more common.

Kitchens Need Upgrading

Kitchen renovations have consistently been the top renovation project. It's no surprise since so much activity happens in the kitchen. It's where you store your food, cook, and even gather for parties. Kitchens can provide the ultimate showpiece for anyone, as you can have granite countertops, stone floors, metal fixtures, stained wooden cabinets, and other storage like pantries and floating shelves. You can also show off high-end appliances, such as those made from stainless steel or the Energy Star brand.

Bathrooms Can Be More Comfortable

Right behind kitchen renovations are bathroom renovations. Your bathrooms are as frequently used, if not more so, as your kitchen. After all, you must use the bathroom frequently to relieve yourself, bathe, and wash your hands. More Americans understand the value of creating a bathroom oasis, especially in the master bathroom suite. You can go high-end by adding sauna space and a separate deep-steam bathtub. Update your tile work and add additional storage with a custom vanity and built-in medicine cabinet.

Working Conditions Change

Working from home has become the norm. Even as more people return to the office, many still work in a hybrid capacity or remain at their home office by being self-employed. Since a home is now equally used for work and living, more homeowners want their space to be as open and comfortable as possible. Renovating a room or basement to create an official workspace can give you a good tax incentive as a self-employed person.

Home Value Can Grow

With the right renovations, you can quickly increase your home's value. When you focus on the most popular features, such as your bathroom and kitchen, you're focusing on what future home buyers look for. Kick your value up a notch by adding a patio, deck, or hardwood floors.
