Where to Splurge and Where to Save in a Kitchen Remodel

Where to Splurge and Where to Save in a Kitchen Remodel

two-pendant-lights-sit-beautifully-above-the-kitchen-island

If you’re planning more than a simple cosmetic makeover, there’s no question that a kitchen remodel will have you spending a significant amount of money. When done right, however, forking over thousands of dollars for a kitchen renovation can leave you with a gorgeous and functional space that you and your family will enjoy for years to come. Or, if you need to sell your home in the near future, a newly remodeled kitchen can be attractive to potential buyers and perhaps allow you to sell your home more quickly or for more money.

 

But where can you save some money on your kitchen upgrade? And just as important, where should you be willing to spend a little extra? Today, we’ll walk you through where to splurge and where to save in a kitchen remodel so you get the most out of your kitchen renovation and be satisfied with the end results.

 

3 Key Places to Splurge in a Kitchen Remodel

No one likes to spend more money than they have to, especially these days when it seems like everything costs more than it used to. Truth be told, though, there are a few areas where you should be willing to spend more money when planning a kitchen remodel.

 

1. Spend more for top quality and energy-efficient appliances.

Litze-wall-mounted-pot-filler-with-two-industrial-handle-levers-in-polished-chrome - Save in a Kitchen Remodel

Yes, size and appearance of your new appliances does matter when it comes to overall kitchen design. But what matters even more is how those appliances will serve you over time.

 

For example, a cheap refrigerator may look great and do its job of keeping your food cold. But how much energy will it use during the process and will it last more than a couple of years? Purchasing quality appliances will cost more up front but you could end up saving money by not having to replace them as frequently. Many of the top appliances are also energy-efficient so you could save money on your electric bill as well.

 

2. Splurge on top quality, durable materials.

While some people might look at quality materials as a luxury, we see them as a money saver. Yes, you could buy cheaper materials and save some money up front. But if you have to replace your countertops or flooring after just a few years, how much money have you really saved by going cheap?

 

Instead, we recommend that you be willing to spend a little extra on quality materials that are made to last. Durable materials are also often easier to maintain, meaning they’ll not only last longer but your new kitchen will look fresher for longer, too.

 

3. Splurge on professional kitchen design and installation.

How to Design Your Kitchen Remodel

Watching home improvement shows and searching through countless Pinterest boards online has made many homeowners feel like a kitchen remodel is a DIY project. What they don’t realize, however, is that it’s rarely as easy as it looks on TV. And those gorgeous kitchens on Pinterest? Many of them were actually designed and installed by professionals! Thanks to costly design and installation mistakes, trying to remodel your kitchen on your own will often lead to spending more money in the long run.

 

Instead, look for a reputable design-build company in your area. Talk to friends and family members who’ve recently had a kitchen makeover, bathroom remodel, or other home renovation project completed. Which company did they use and are they satisfied with the results? Read online reviews for remodeling companies in your area and then don’t be afraid to interview several until you find the right one for YOU.

 

The important thing to remember is that spending money on professional design and installation can save you money in the long term. While it costs more up front vs. doing it yourself, you’ll be more likely to be satisfied with the finished product and have fewer costly mistakes along the way.

 

2 Ways to Save Money on a Kitchen Remodel

Now that you’re splurging on appliances, quality materials, and professional kitchen design and installation, where can you save?

 

1. Save money with a detailed remodeling budget.

2 Ways to Save Money on a Kitchen Remodel

“Those who fail to plan are planning to fail.” Have you ever heard that saying? It’s true for a lot of things but especially home remodeling. One of the easiest ways to save money in your kitchen remodel is by planning carefully before you even start.

 

If you’re working with a professional design-build team, they’ll be able to walk you through the entire budgeting process. Rather than ‘winging it’ and wondering where your money went, creating a realistic budget helps you clearly map out projected costs ahead of time. You may even be able to save money on delivery costs or get special discounts by ordering materials all together or from the same supplier.

 

2. Save money on your kitchen remodel by recycling or reusing.

removal-of-2-walls-new-roof-sloped-ceiling-windows-beams-doors-remove-fireplace

One of the most popular kitchen design trends today includes using reclaimed materials for things like floating shelves, pantry cupboards, countertops, and even some cabinets. Reusing materials that still have a useful life is good for the environment but good for your budget, too. Just be sure to work with your kitchen designer to find the right materials to create that natural or nostalgic feel you’re after without compromising on quality.

We often get asked, “What if I don’t like the design?” The reality is we design collaboratively with you by assessing your style through a curated assessment as we go through the design process.  As we mentioned in the beginning, when you’re ready to get serious about your priorities in a bathroom remodel, get out your pad of paper and start making notes on the features you like in these bathrooms. Pay attention to details like light fixtures, flooring, shower inserts, tub styles, shower door or no shower door, plumbing fixtures, natural light, floating vanity or footed vanity, ceiling fan or no, heated towel rack, steam shower options, universal design, and your dislike list.

Best Countertops to Pair with a Blue Kitchen

Best Countertops to Pair with a Blue Kitchen

blue kitchen island-mission-viejoTake a look at Pinterest, Houzz, or any number of other online resources these days and you’ll see that having a blue kitchen is one of the most popular kitchen trends. While blue can certainly be bold and beautiful, it can also turn dark and daunting if the rest of the room isn’t designed with care.

 

From lighting choices and wall paint colors to flooring features and tile backsplash designs, there are several things you can do to be able to have a blue kitchen and enjoy it, too. Today, we’ll focus on 5 different countertop options that pair nicely with blue cabinets without creating a dark and somber feel.

5 Great Countertop Options for a Blue Kitchen

1. Gorgeous Gray Countertops

A blue kitchen may already feel dark enough so why choose gray countertops? When paired with lightly colored walls, the gray against blue cabinets actually gives off a subdued vibe but looks especially elegant next to stainless steel appliances. While the overall tone is more muted, the kitchen can still be plenty bright with the right lighting and light colored paint or tile backsplashes on the walls.

2. Warm Wood Finishes

An entire kitchen outfitted with all blue cabinetry may feel cold and uninviting if not properly designed. Add warmth to the space with beautiful wood countertops. Honey-toned wood with a grainy texture looks and feels wonderful. It also gives the room a natural and farmhouse-like or vintage vibe.

3. Wonderful White Countertops

Regardless of the material they’re made from, white countertops contrast beautifully with blue kitchen cabinets. In fact, the light color makes the blue of the cabinets pop while also giving the room a clean, streamlined feel.

In this Newport Beach kitchen remodel, the owners opted for two-toned cabinetry with dark navy blue for the central island cabinets and white for the perimeter cabinets. Stylish and sleek Calcutta Belleza white quartzite countertops pair easily with both cabinet colors along with the white and gray tile backsplash above the range.

 

Light-colored countertops can also work well even when cabinets are a lighter blue. In this Huntington Beach kitchen remodel, quartz countertops are more of an off-white color. When paired with baby blue cabinets, the color palette pays homage to the home’s coastal location and reminds you of the sand and sea nearby.

4. Marvelous Marble Countertops

One of the benefits of a marble countertop is the fact that marble comes in a variety of colors and designs. White marble can look absolutely stunning against dark blue kitchen cabinets. And, marble with a unique veined design adds visual intrigue while also pulling together multiple kitchen colors.

 

For example, the marble countertop in this Mission Viejo kitchen remodel has a white background. Throughout it, however, are gray veins and flecks of color that pair perfectly with the backsplash tiles on the walls and stainless steel appliances and fixtures.

 

Bold Blue kitchen design

 

5. Bold and Beautiful Black Countertops

Last, but certainly not least, are black countertops. While using black can certainly darken a blue kitchen, it adds a dramatic flair along with a luxurious, elegant feel. If the room is too dark with black countertops, lighter flooring and backsplashes along with bright lighting can be used to lighten the space.

2026 Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Forecast

2026 Kitchen and Bath Remodeling Forecast

In 2025, the focus on home improvement and remodeling continues to grow, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. These spaces are not only functional but are necessary for everyday tasks.

 

Orange County remodeling forecast for 2023

 

A well-planned remodel can improve both the aesthetic appeal and utility of these essential areas, making daily routines more enjoyable and efficient.

 

However, staying ahead of the trends and ensuring your renovation meets both current demands and future needs can be challenging. How can you make informed decisions that add lasting value and style to your home?

 

This article dives into the 2026 kitchen and bath remodeling forecast, uncovering the latest trends and expert tips to help you create modern and timeless spaces.

 

1. What’s Driving 2026 Remodeling Trends?

 

orange-county-home-remodeling

Economic Factors

 

Home values and interest rates impact renovation decisions. With many homeowners choosing to renovate rather than move, the focus is on remodeling for both comfort and resale value.

 

Technology & Innovation

 

From smart appliances to voice-controlled faucets, tech is transforming kitchens and bathrooms. More homeowners want spaces that connect seamlessly with their lifestyles through automation and AI-powered convenience.

 

Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Living

 

Green remodeling is on the rise. There’s a growing demand for:

 

  • Water-saving fixtures: These include low-flow faucets and smart showers.
  • Energy-efficient appliances: These devices consume less electricity or water while delivering the same level of performance as their standard counterparts. They often feature advanced technology that enhances their operational efficiency, reducing energy waste.
  • Eco-friendly materials: Examples are recycled wood and VOC-free finishes.

 

2. Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2026

a. Changing Layouts

 

While open floor plans are still popular, more homeowners are bringing back some separation for privacy and organization. They’re also opting for multi-functional islands that are bigger and more useful, with built-in storage, seating, and charging stations.

 

Other popular design choices are hidden appliances, including integrated refrigerators and dishwashers that blend seamlessly into cabinetry for a sleek, minimalist look.

 

b. Bold Materials & Finishes

 

People are switching from all-white kitchens to rich blues, greens, and even matte black cabinets. They also use mixed materials, including wood, stone, and metal accents for contrast and texture.

 

When it comes to countertop materials, quartz remains a top choice, but expect to see more composite stone and recycled surfaces in 2025.

 

c. Smart Kitchens & High-Tech Upgrades

 

Voice-activated everything, from lights to ovens, smart home tech is making cooking and cleaning easier. Some homeowners are even investing in appliances with AI-assisted features, like fridges that track groceries and suggest recipes.

 

Custom lighting solutions, such as adjustable LED lighting for different moods and tasks, are becoming a must-have.

 

3. Bathroom Remodeling Trends for 2025

a. Spa-Like Luxury at Home

 

While freestanding tubs are still trendy, people are shifting to oversized, walk-in showers with built-in seating. Adding to the luxury and comfort are heated features like towel warmers, heated floors, and smart mirrors.

 

Then, there are nature-inspired designs, which involve using wood, stone, and plant accents to add a spa-like feel to bathrooms.

 

b. Smart & Sustainable Bathrooms

 

Touchless fixtures, including motion-sensor faucets and self-cleaning toilets, improve hygiene and convenience. Smart toilets and digital shower controls also help conserve water without sacrificing performance.

 

In addition, most homeowners choose eco-friendly finishes, such as low-VOC paints, recycled tiles, and sustainable cabinetry.

 

4. The Shift Toward Aging-in-Place & Universal Design

More homeowners are thinking long-term with their remodels. Aging-in-place designs ensure that your home remains functional and accessible for years.

 

An increasing number of individuals also prioritize universal design principles in their homes, ensuring that people with varying abilities can access and utilize their living spaces on an equal footing. Key universal design features include:

 

  • Curbless showers with grab bars that don’t look “medical.”
  • Touch-free faucets and motion-sensor lighting.
  • Lower countertops and pull-out shelving for easy access.

 

5. Where to Invest for the Best ROI?

 

If resale value is a priority, focus on these high-impact updates:

 

  • Energy-efficient appliances (kitchens)
  • Updated lighting & fixtures (kitchens & bathrooms)
  • Stone countertops (kitchens)
  • Walk-in showers (bathrooms)

So, what can we conclude about the kitchen and bath remodeling forecast for 2026? Well, it proves that homeowners are embracing smart, stylish, and sustainable upgrades.

How to Choose the Right Flooring for Your Remodel

How to Choose the Right Flooring for Your Remodel

Kitchen remodel in Lake Forest with GemCore flooring - How To Choose The Right FlooringAlthough it may not be glamorous or exciting, selecting the right flooring could very well be one of the most important decisions you make during a remodel. That’s because the type of flooring you choose has a significant impact on the overall comfort, style, and function of the room you’re renovating.

 

You may be tempted to make the decision easy by simply replacing your existing flooring with an updated version of the same material. But is that truly the right flooring for the room? If it has already performed well for many years and you like its look, style, and cost, go ahead and use the same material. But if you want an updated look or a flooring material that’s more durable, it’s time to see what else is available.

 

Today, we’re going to walk you through some of the most important factors to consider that will help you decide the right flooring for your remodel. Then, we’ll look at some of the popular flooring choices on the market today so you can see what’s out there for options.

 

Factors to Consider to Help You Choose the Right Flooring

There’s no doubt that planning a remodel comes with a lot of decisions to make. And before those decisions can be finalized, there are plenty of questions that need to be asked and answered. That’s why we recommend you work with a professional remodeling company that also has expert home designers on staff. When you work with a professional designer, they can answer the questions you already have but also help you think about things you may not have considered on your own.

 

For example, it’s tempting for homeowners to make their flooring decision based on cost and appearance alone. In reality, there are several other factors to consider that can help you choose the right flooring for the long term:

 

Flooring Comfort

Just because a flooring material looks pretty and fits your remodeling budget, it doesn’t mean it’s the right flooring for your remodel. Think about how it will feel on an everyday basis. For example, stone flooring can look beautiful and its cool feeling on your feet can be a welcome addition for homeowners living in a warm climate. Those who live in cooler areas, however, may find stone tiles to be cold and unwelcoming unless they also have radiant heat installed.

 

Also consider whether you will be standing on the floor for long periods of time, perhaps preparing a meal in the kitchen or doing laundry in the laundry room. Some flooring materials are more comfortable to stand on than others. Ultimately, the right flooring will be what matches best with how the room will be used.

 

Choose The Right Flooring For Cleaning and Maintenance

When you visit a showroom or look at online portfolios of completed home renovations, the floors always look beautiful, clean and pristine. But, how much work is required to keep them looking that way on a daily basis? If you have small children at home, expect that spills, scratches, and dents will happen, and choose a durable but easy-to-clean flooring material.

 

Even without little ones, everyday foot traffic will cause wear and tear on any floor. Decide how much time you’re willing to invest on a regular basis to clean and maintain your flooring. Then, pick a flooring material whose cleaning and maintenance requirements fit your commitment level.

 

Health and Environmental Concerns

If you care about your family’s health, along with that of the environment, choosing the right flooring is a big decision. If you like wood floors, for example, you can select flooring certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and be assured it comes from responsibly and sustainably managed forests. Similarly, if you want to reduce harmful chemicals in your home, choose flooring that gives off little or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

 

Choose The Right Flooring Options for Your Remodel

Now that you know what to look for and think about when choosing the right flooring, let’s look at a few of the more popular options currently available.

 

Wood Flooring

Wood-flooring-in-Rancho-Santa-Margarita-master-bathroom-renovation - How To Choose The Right FlooringThe appearance of wood flooring is popular with homeowners who are looking for a more natural look. These days, however, there are several ways to get that look, some of which don’t include wood at all.

 

  • Hardwood Flooring – This is the real deal with flooring made from solid pieces of wood or with a thin veneer of wood applied to a plywood layer. Wood can be refinished multiple times so this material can last a long time if taken care of properly.

 

  • Laminate Wood Flooring – Cheaper than real wood, this type of flooring gives the appearance of wood. However, it’s actually made from a photo of wood covered with a plastic coating and adhered to a fiberboard backing. While it can’t be refinished like real wood, it does come with a lower price tag and is often more resistant to scratches and dents.

 

  • Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) Flooring – Available in a variety of styles, LVT flooring is more expensive than laminate flooring but it does a better job of mimicking the look of real wood. Vinyl tiles can be used to give a natural wood appearance but are more stain, scratch, and dent resistant than real wood. Unlike actual hardwood flooring, however, luxury vinyl tiles cannot be refinished.

 

Carpeting

Master suite room addition - How To Choose The Right FlooringCarpeted floors are often a great way to soften a room and add comfort, especially in areas that aren’t highly trafficked. Think bedrooms, dens, and even some family rooms. Available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures, carpet is an affordable flooring choice and is also easily maintained with regular vacuuming and occasional shampooing. There are even some options that are more resistant to dust and dirt which can be a smart choice for people with allergies.

 

Tile Flooring

Geometric floor tile in kids' bathroom remodel - How To Choose The Right FlooringPrimarily made from ceramic or porcelain, tile flooring is a home designer’s paradise. That’s because these tiles come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, making for endless design options. Tile flooring can perfectly blend with the room’s overall design theme or even be a design statement all on its own. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, tile could be the right flooring option since it’s waterproof and easy to clean and maintain. It’s not always easy to install, however, so this is another area where working with a design-build team for your remodel is a plus.

 

Other Flooring Materials

Wood, carpet, and tile are some of the more popular flooring options but the list doesn’t end there. Here are a few other flooring materials you might consider for your remodel:

 

  • Concrete (durable, easy to maintain, and pairs well with radiant heating but hard and unforgiving if you drop fragile items on it)
  • Linoleum (all-natural, comfortable, and resists fading but not as durable as vinyl)
  • Cork (non-toxic, eco-friendly, and comfortable but fades and scratches easily)
  • Stone (durable, resists fading, and is full of character but is pricey and requires professional installation)
