Q&A with Glen Abbey Contractors

by Preferred Publishing

David Gimza, President

Q: What are clients requesting most: kitchen or bathroom renovations?

A: Kitchen renovations are more popular than bathroom updates among homeowners, primarily because the kitchen is often considered the heart of the home. It serves as a central gathering space and can significantly enhance daily living experiences, making it a priority for many. Kitchens are also seen as a wise investment due to their high return on investment, often increasing the home’s value. Homeowners prioritize kitchen updates to improve both the aesthetics and functionality of their space.

In contrast, while bathroom renovations are also important, they tend to be a secondary priority. The decision between updating a kitchen or bathroom depends on individual preferences and goals.

Q: What’s going to be trending next year for kitchen and bath renos?

A: As for trends, the upcoming year will likely see a rise in earthy tones, bold colours such as charcoal, navy and forest green, and flat panel-style cabinets in kitchens. Quartz countertops will remain popular, along with smart technology and energy-efficient appliances. Homeowners are seeking to create kitchens that blend functionality, style,
and personalization.

In bathroom designs, trends such as calming colours, matte black and brushed gold fixtures, and smart technology are expected to dominate. Quartz and other durable materials will be favoured for countertops, while features like freestanding tubs and walk-in showers will continue to gain popularity. Overall, bathrooms are increasingly being transformed into tranquil, spa-like retreats within the home.

Q: What are the top points to consider regarding renovations in the home?

A: When designing a new kitchen or bathroom, homeowners should carefully consider the layout, storage solutions, lighting, materials, and personal preferences. Prioritizing functionality and personalization will help create spaces that enhance daily living experiences and reflect the homeowner’s unique style.
