Houzz Research
22 March 2018
Findings from a survey of 3,465 AU homeowners on Houzz about their recent or planned kitchen renovation projects
CUTTING THROUGH THE CLUTTER: Reducing clutter is one of the top motivations for upgrading cabinets during kitchen renovations. Most popular built-in cabinet storage includes cutlery organisers, deep drawer organisers, and pull-out waste or recycling cabinets.
ENGINEERED QUARTZ ON THE RISE: Benchtops are the most common major feature to upgrade during kitchen renovations, followed by cabinets and faucets. Engineered quartz has increased in popularity as the leading benchtop material and is most often chosen by homeowners between the ages of 35 and 54.
ENLARGING AND MAKING MORE OPEN: Close to 60% of renovating homeowners increase the size of their kitchens during renovations, with those between the ages of 35 and 54 being the most likely to do so. More than half open their kitchen up to nearby rooms, and a similar share open up to the outdoors.
KITCHEN COSTS: Kitchen renovation today average $19,300, yet averages range between $14,600 and $22,600 depending on kitchen size. Over 20% of renovating homeowners spent over $35,000, with those older than 55 being the most willing to splurge.
