Whether you are considering selling your home, have just bought it or are planning on spending the rest of your life in it, a well-maintained, safe and practical kitchen is always a good thing. A kitchen should be the heart of a home, a place you enjoy spending time in, and a space that works for you.

Does your kitchen work for you?

If you don’t enjoy spending time in your kitchen, perhaps it is time for a change. Maybe your kitchen doesn’t make full use of the available space, or the layout frustrates you. Is your kitchen old and looking shabby? Does it have poor or out-dated lighting or are you inconvenienced by not having enough electrical points? Maybe you just don’t like the way the kitchen looks.

Whatever is bothering you about your kitchen, it is worth knowing that an up to date kitchen can add up to 10% value to your property should you choose to sell so although you may be put off by the idea of having the work done, it is generally worthwhile. 

If your kitchen doesn’t suit your lifestyle and your budget allows, a full kitchen replacement will allow you to arrange the room to suit you perfectly, including making the best use of space and storage, installing a suitable number of safely sited electrical points and appliances as well as investing in effective lighting, 

Should your budget not stretch to a full replacement, consider what is bothering you the most and target that. Well-placed and effective lighting is a good place to start as you can easily change the atmosphere of a room by accentuating its positive aspects, brightening your corner cupboards and enhancing the available light.

Likewise, upgrading electrical appliances will improve the general appearance of the room whilst delivering energy efficiency and cost savings. Should you want support in tailoring a solution, MK Electrical are residential kitchen electrical installation experts and we’re here to help.
