The Perfect Kitchen – A Great New Survey by the Team at Houzz Tells the Tale

The Perfect Kitchen – A Great New Survey by the Team at Houzz Tells the Tale

The team at Houzz.com recently published a survey that we think tells the tale of the ideal kitchen perfectly.

The survey asked folks if they were planning on remodeling their kitchens and what elements they would likely include. Almost 8000 people responded and the results are eye-opening, unless you do this for a living like we do. For us, this is confirmation of the design that we have been doing for people for the last few years.

What are the elements of a perfect kitchen according to the Houzz survey?

Granite or quartz countertops – For years, this has been the choice of our customers. The beauty and durability of the counters has made them a longtime favorite. More recently, customers have begun to realize how much time they spend in their kitchens and how important the room is to a family, so they have begun to invest in these fine countertop materials.

Chef’s Stove – Wider and with more burners and options than the classic four burner stove, these are the stoves of choice of both the respondents to the Houzz survey and our customers. Although double ovens are still popular, the chef’s stove has really taken the front as the cooktop of choice.

Many more great items are listed on the survey:

  • Neutral colors
  • Stainless steel appliances and backsplashes
  • Hardwood floors
  • Induction cooktops
  • Wine refrigerators
  • Openings to other parts of the home

The most important takeaway from the Houzz survey is the diversity of options and the huge number of people that understand the importance of investing in a great kitchen.

One thing not mentioned in the survey is vitally important: Make sure that you see and touch everything you are planning on putting in the kitchen. At Alfano Renovations, we have a huge showroom with many of these items out for display. We also provide every client with a digital representation of what their kitchen will look like when everything is put together.
