What are the benefits of a kitchen renovation vs remodel?

When considering renovating vs replacing your kitchen, the decision largely depends on your budget, the condition of the existing kitchen, and your long-term goals.

What is a kitchen renovation or makeover?

The goal of a kitchen renovation is to refresh or update the existing space without changing its layout or structure. Essentially, kitchen renovations and makeovers focus on improving the existing space.

What is a kitchen remodel?

Remodelling a kitchen involves significant changes to the kitchen’s layout, structure, or even its purpose, to completely transform the kitchen.
