Many people would love to redecorate their kitchen or bathroom, but
once they figure up the costs, they get discouraged.
Cabinets alone can run over $10,000, and that doesn’t include the cost
of installation. After you add in fixtures, appliances, electrical work,
and plumbing, you’ve almost spent enough to buy a condo. Remodeling
Magazine notes that the average cost of a major remodeling of the
kitchen is now about $40,000.
Remodeling a worn bathroom averages about $10,000. This amount includes
replacing the bathtub, toilet, vanity, sink, and medicine cabinet, as
well as installing a ceramic tile floor and vinyl wallpaper.
Faucet marketing manager Keith Kometer at Kohler Company says, “Most
people don’t have thousands of dollars lying around to spend on
remodeling projects, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some simple
changes that will have a big impact.” Kohler is a worldwide leader of
products for the kitchen and bath.
To get a new look, people today are concentrating on painting or putting
up wallpaper instead of replacing toilets and showers. They’re also
using accessories like fixtures. These are simple changes homeowners can
make on a tight budget.
“Changing out the faucet can also make a big visual impact,” Kometer
notes. Kohler has just introduced two new lines of faucets that can be
installed in minutes by homeowners and won't break the bank.
The Forté faucet for both the bathroom and kitchen has a high arched
spout that can be customized with traditional or sleek, sculpted
handles. Its handles, top mount installation system, and preassembled
valves allow for easy installation with only a screwdriver and wrench.
This easy installation saves time, effort, and money.
The traditional Devonshire design also features preassembled flexible
supply lines, valves, and handles. Flexible lines are also available for
the Forté faucets as well. They make installation much easier, as you
don’t have to deal with rigid copper tubing. The Devonshire faucet also
requires only two tools for installation.
Kometer says, “These faucets are for homeowners who don’t want to spend
top dollar on a remodeling project, but still want to create a look
that’s dramatic and stylish. You don’t have to repaint; simply replacing
the faucet is all it takes.”
You can add more fashion to the bathroom with finishing touches and
decorative accessories like towel racks, soap dishes, glass shelves, and
toilet tissue holders. They come in several different finishes that
exceed the durability standards of the industry and boast a distinctive
selection of colors and textures. Some of these are polished or brushed
chrome, brushed nickel, and French gold.
