Most people look at the kitchen first when they walk into a home, and homeowners spend quite a bit of time in their own. Updates to the kitchen pay off. According to HGTV, expect to recover 60-120% of your investment in a kitchen remodel. This number stays true as long as you don't go too far with the remodel. Keep within the style of the house. If you walk into the kitchen and it feels more extravagent than the rest of the home, it will be off putting for potential buyers.
Remember too, a little bit of paint can go quite a long way! Prices can be high, so be sure to get the most bang for your buck with paint, in modern colors, to help update your kitchen. You might want to consider using low-VOC paint; this makes your kitchen more eco-friendly, and helps your family avoid breathing in dangerous chemicals, like benzene, that off-gas from regular fresh paint.
