Nothing makes your home feel better than a freshly remodeled kitchen. Your kitchen, whether you’re a dedicated home chef or a take-out fan, is usually the most used room in your home, and you want it to reflect your style while still functioning in the best way. A modern kitchen remodel is more than color choice, cabinet options, and custom-designed storage. Instead of just a facelift or surface-level improvements, you can use the latest technology to make your kitchen something others will envy. With the technology available, your kitchen can truly be your home’s command center and the most efficient room, making everything convenient and easy to handle. Many contractors find that their clients love the new advantages that can be installed during a remodel.

Why is Technology Important for a Kitchen Remodel?

When you consider a high-end kitchen remodel, most likely you are thinking about the surfaces – having luxurious counters of marble, granite, or quartz, building high-end custom cabinets that are sleek and elegant, and choosing a flooring option that will hold up to high traffic while still looking flawless. If you are thinking about fixtures and appliances, you may be looking for professional grade, plenty of features, and stylish materials, but you may not be thinking about technology. However, with the advancements available today, many high-end kitchen remodels are incorporating more of the latest technology. Using the most innovative technological advances in your kitchen will elevate functionality and luxury and blend a tech-savvy space with the elegance of a high-end aesthetic. A “smart” kitchen will help you save time, improve the efficiency of your appliances, reduce energy costs, and integrate your kitchen into the rest of your home. With all the advancements available, why wouldn’t you take advantage during your remodel?

Smart Appliances

Smart appliances are more than extra gadgets or features. When you have smart appliances, you can control your kitchen from anywhere in your home, which can be very convenient when you need to preheat the oven, set a timer, receive an alert when your food is ready, and even allow you to see your food from your phone without needing to open the oven door. A smart refrigerator will enable you to view the contents from your phone, allowing you to add things to your grocery list while you’re out and check expiration dates. A touchscreen panel on the door of a smart fridge can help you search for recipes that incorporate ingredients you already have, create a weekly meal plan and shopping list, and leave notes for your family. Smart dishwashers allow you to control the cycle’s timing and let you know when the dishwasher needs to be emptied. Innovative cooktops will let you adjust the cooking temperature and fan speed remotely. Everything about a smart kitchen appliance is designed to make things easier for you. When planning your remodel, make sure you choose appliances that are compatible with the smart home system you use.

Voice-Activated and Touchless Systems

A kitchen can be a germy place. Touchless systems can help keep your kitchen clean and fingerprint-free. With a smart faucet, you don’t have to use the hands that just came from the bowl of ground beef or raw chicken to turn on the water, which can contaminate the surface. Instead, you can wave your hand or use voice controls to turn on the faucet and adjust the temperature. Many touchless faucets are also connected to smart systems that can provide data and reports on your water consumption and quality, letting you know when it’s time to replace the filters.

Innovative Lighting Solutions

Lighting is key to your kitchen’s functionality. When you are cooking, you want to have the lights bright enough that you can work efficiently, but if you are hosting an event, you want to make sure that the lighting reflects the mood of your party. In the past, you would need several options installed and available to control, but with innovative and smart lighting systems, you can adjust the lighting with voice commands or by using your phone. Many of the newest lighting solutions are programmable, so you can set the lights to automatically turn on in the morning and dim in the evenings. Lighting can be strategically installed, so you always have the right option for what you are doing.

Choosing the Right Contractor for Your High-End Kitchen Remodel

There is plenty of new technology to incorporate, but finding the right contractor to integrate it into your high-end kitchen remodel isn’t always easy. When planning your project, look for a contractor who can work with smart appliances, lighting systems, and touchless faucets and can integrate them in a way that keeps the elegant and stylish look of your kitchen. The advantages of feeling like you have a virtual assistant in your kitchen don’t have the same impact if you feel like you are cooking and eating in a lab. A good contractor will be able to get you the latest technology while still preserving the aesthetic you are going for.

Smart technology is energy-efficient, convenient, and a game changer for your family. With a high-end kitchen remodel incorporating innovative technology, your home’s value will only increase. After your remodel, you will find that your daily life is enhanced, and you can get everything done with style.
