Kitchen design trends change almost every year, but that doesn’t mean you should remodel your kitchen that often. If you want to follow trends without remodeling your entire kitchen, you can make some small updates like replacing your door handles or buying statement lighting.
Is it the right time to update your kitchen?

In this guide, we will try to provide an answer for one important question – how often should we upgrade our kitchens? The answer will depend on several factors.
General Recommendation is to Update Every 10-15 Years
Kitchens are one of the most used rooms in our homes. Because of this, experts generally recommend that you should renovate your kitchen every 10 to 15 years. This is the amount of time it takes for finishes to face significant wear and tear and for color trends to change. Usually, things that need to be replaced include your sink, faucet, dishwasher, kitchen countertop, cooktop, fridge, kitchen cabinets and flooring.
If it has been over a decade since your last big kitchen update, it is time to consider it now! Check out these kitchen cabinets at Nelson Cabinetry that will bring your dream kitchen closer to reality.
Considering the Budget
Kitchen remodeling is not cheap, and doing it every few years is a sure way to go broke. The average cost for a mid-tier kitchen remodel is between $15,000 to $25,000, so plan your budget carefully before you begin your new kitchen project. If you don’t have a budget just yet, consider smaller updates to bring new life to your existing kitchen. You can find more inspiration on our blog!
When Your Kitchen is Damaged or Not Functional
Some kitchen fixtures will be broken or worn out due to excessive usage, and there is no avoiding that. If your kitchen is severely damaged beyond repair, a complete renovation might be the right solution for you.
With aging also come stains, discolorations and other cleaning problems. When choosing the materials for your kitchen remodeling project, opt for those that are durable and easy to maintain. Other reasons to consider remodeling your kitchen are outdated fixtures and elements. As personal needs and lifestyles change with time, our kitchens may not be as functional as they once were. This is especially true if you have a new family member.

You are Planning on Selling Your Property
If you are planning on selling your house, you will probably need to renovate your kitchen to some degree, depending on the condition. Upgrading the kitchen will increase the value of your house. On average, most homeowners get a 40% to 55% recovery from the overall cost of their kitchen remodeling.
Conclusion
By undertaking a complete kitchen renovation, you are creating a more functional and aesthetically pleasing cooking area. Generally, you will need to do this every 10-15 years, but if you want to add some freshness to your kitchen consider some smaller and cheaper updates like new door handles. There are other occasions when a kitchen remodeling might be necessary, for instance, if your kitchen is damaged beyond repair or it lost its functionality. If you’re selling your house, it is also a great idea to renovate your kitchen.
