Bath Remodels Most Popular Home Project, Study Finds

SEATTLE, WA — Bathroom remodels are the most popular project for homeowners to tackle, with consumers seemingly willing to pay a premium for “spa-inspired” bathroom features, a major new research study has found.

According to the study, conducted by the real estate website Zillow, more than half of the homeowners surveyed would consider a bathroom renovation in 2022. Buyers also are willing to pay a premium for spa-inspired bathroom features such as curb-less showers (3.6% price premium), heated floors (3.2%) and free-standing bathtubs (2.6%), Zillow said.

Kitchen remodels are also widely popular, with Zillow’s research finding that 46% of homeowners would consider that project in 2022.

“Luxury kitchen amenities were must-haves over the past year, and that will likely continue as people spend more time cooking and eating at home,” Zillow said, adding that 72% of the homeowners surveyed will consider at least one home improvement project in the coming year.

“Most homeowners say they plan to stay in their current home for at least the next three years, and while uncertainty, pandemic precautions and affordability concerns keep many homeowners in place, most are willing to consider improving their current home,” said Manny Garcia, a population scientist at the Seattle-based Zillow. “From adding a backyard cottage to improving a bathroom or renovating the kitchen, most homeowners say they would consider at least one home improvement,” Garcia observed.

Creating more livable space is a consideration for many homeowners, Zillow survey data shows. Projects that are highest on their wish lists for 2022 include adding or improving an office space (31%), finishing a basement or attic (23%), and adding an accessory dwelling unit or guest house (21%), company researchers said.

KBIS Plans Proceeding Amidst Strict Virus Protocols

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — The National Kitchen & Bath Association and its partners for February’s Design & Construction Week continue to consult with Epistemix, a third-party modeling system that predicts the progression of disease outbreaks, as plans proceed to stage the 2022 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and concurrent International Builders Show (IBS) as live events in February, show organizers said.

The NKBA and its trade show partners, Emerald and the National Association of Home Builders, announced that, based on the latest data modeling from Epistemix and current DCW Health & Safety protocols, “we feel confident we are creating a safe environment to conduct business” at the annual event, scheduled for Feb. 8-10 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The 2021 KBIS and IBS were converted to digital events in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The countdown to KBIS 2022 and Design & Construction Week in is on, and we are looking forward to hosting over 60,000 residential design and construction professionals for a fantastic in-person event,” said Brian Pagel, executive v.p., and Jason McGraw, group v.p. for Emerald. “As the event is quickly approaching, the safety and wellbeing of our attendees, partners, exhibitors, site workers and staff remains our top priority.” Pagel and McGraw said that show organizers will continue to monitor health and safety recommendations through additional Epistemix modeling in early January. The KBIS show team will host a webinar in mid-January to outline their findings and detail the health and safety protocols.

All attendees and exhibitors at the three-day event will be required to provide a negative test OR proof of vaccination to access the convention hall. Masks will also be required in the Orange County Convention Center, as well as on official shuttle buses, show organizers said.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Orlando for an incredible show experience,” Pagel and McGraw said.

Current health and safety protocols for Design & Construction Week can be accessed at the NKBA’s web site, www.nkba.org.

The Best Kitchen Appliances to Gift

Are you struggling to come up with gifts to give your partner? Are you looking to show your loved ones that you care? Are you searching for the perfect gift but keeping hitting dead ends? Well fear no more. Kitchen Solvers is here to guide you on your decision-making journey.

The kitchen is the hub of any household; it’s the place where people are brought together. The place where creativity and conversation flow freely. And a place with such a wide variety of purposes deserves to be fully utilized and appreciated. We have complied a list of the best kitchen appliances to gift your loved ones, friends, co-workers, or even yourself. Christmas, holidays, special occasions, birthdays or maybe there’s no special occasion you’re just in the market for some new appliances! Regardless your intentions, we want to ensure your kitchen is used to its utmost potential. Here are some kitchen appliance gifts below.

 Kitchen Aid Mixer

A Kitchen Aid Mixer is the perfect gift for someone who’s looking to become a more frequent baker/chef. A Kitchen Aid Mixer uses specifically designed mixing bowls that snap into place on the mixer’s support arms to provide stability and backing for heavy batches. Not only do they mix, but they also shred, grind, whip, knead, and mash. This mixer is perfect for whatever you can conjure up in the kitchen whether that’s preparing pizza dough or tweaking your famous chocolate chip cookie recipe.

 

Cuisinart Tabletop Grill or the Cuisinart 5-in-1 Gridler

Let’s not limit grilling and all its glory to only in the summertime. If you’re a grilling enthusiast and want further your skills, the Cuisinart tabletop grill is the way to go. And if you’re looking for something similar to the tabletop grill but a little more toned down, consider the Cuisinart 5-in-1 gridler. This multifunctional countertop grill can also be used as a griddle and press. With these appliances, grilling season is year-round.

Air Fryer

An air fryer is similar to an oven in the sense that it bakes and roasts, but the difference is its heating elements are only located on top and are accompanied by a large, powerful fan. Air fryers typically heat up very quickly and they cook food fast and evenly. Think of them as an amped-up countertop convection oven. With an air fryer, it’s easy to whip up frozen foods in a slightly healthier way than deep-frying.

Rice Cooker

A rice cooker is an electric countertop device designed to automatically cook rice to perfection. You simply put some water in a pot, and you get perfectly cooked, fluffy rice every single time, even when you’re distracted. Another bonus, rice cookers are easier to clean as well! Rice cookers are excellent for steaming rice, oatmeal and even quinoa while allowing you to shift your focus on other food prep tasks.

Instant Pot

An instant pot is starting to take the place of a crock pot. An instant pot is an electric pressure cooker which means it cooks foods faster by controlling the pressure within the pot. Pressure cookers work by creating heat under a tight seal, so the temperature is much higher than the boiling point of water and the steam can’t escape. The steam cooks food much more quickly than traditional stovetop or oven cooking. An instant pot is prime for meal prepping and preparing freezer meals; perfect if you have a busy week ahead.

5 Reasons on Why You Should Say “YES” to Quartz

Quartz has surged in popularity with homeowners throughout the last decade. When faced with the tough decision of quartz or granite countertops, many remodeling customers have chosen quartz for their material of choice. Picking your countertop material is one more thing to add to the list of choices needing to be made when faced with a kitchen remodel. Listed below are 5 reasons why quartz has been the primary choice amongst homeowners. Quartz is not just a fleeting trend, it’s here to stay in the remodeling world!

Quartz is then processed and fused with resin binders under intense heat and pressure to form a solid slab. From there, pigments are added to the countertop to give you the presentation which appears in your home. Since this material is manufactured, it allows for a wide variety of colors and design. Quartz can be made to have a uniformed appearance ensuring consistency in your remodeling design.

Durability

Quartz is also a highly durable material which can easily withstand the day-to-day wear and tear being in a kitchen presents. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, this material is rated a 7 out of 10. And along with durability, quartz is also resistant to cracks. The kitchen is the place where creativity and mastery truly present themselves. You don’t want to hold back your culinary skills out of fear of damaging your workspace. Quartz provides you with that safety net ensuring your kitchen is functional and aesthetic.

Non-Porous

Quartz, being the low maintenance material it is, resists staining like a professional. Yes, that’s right. Quartz can hold its own against wine, oil, and any other types of spillage. Messes happen quite frequently in a kitchen, and with quartz there’s no need to worry you’ve seriously damaged your beautiful countertops. Since quartz is a non-porous material, it’s also bacteria resistant allowing for safer and more cleanly workspaces.

Warranty

Quartz’s quality is constantly being backed up and cemented by its manufacturers. These places of production have so much faith in their quartz products, they often offer generous warranties along with your quartz purchases. Quartz warranties are normally around 15-25 years.

Versatility

Finally, quartz is a highly versatile material. Yes, it looks amazing in a kitchen, but due to its durability and endless engineered options quartz is fantastic for all places.
