Do you have a small space that you want to convert to a rental unit or an existing unit in need of a serious make-over? Do you want to avoid, at all costs, the pain, time and inconvenience of dealing with a contractor? If so, you might want to consider installing a kitchenette, also known as a compact kitchen or all-in-one kitchen. Check out the top seven benefits of a kitchenette and find out if a compact kitchen is right for you.
1. All-in-One. A full-featured kitchenette includes all of the major elements people expect in a kitchen in one free-standing unit: a cooking appliance, such as a stove/ cooktop and/or a microwave, a sink, refrigerator and cabinets for storage. An efficiency kitchenette is basically a sink base cabinet with a tiny sink, small burner and refrigerator underneath.
2. Fantastic for Tight Spaces. You can get a great full-featured kitchenette that is as little as 48″ wide. This provides 4 feet of cabinets up top, and a decent sized sink, fridge and a real stove with
3. Easy to Install. This is a project that most do-it-yourself-ers can handled, especially if you purchase a kitchenette that has an electric stove, and it’s a project that can be started-and finished-over the weekend. Obviously, a roughed-in drain pipe and water supply is needed for the sink.
4. Looks Great. Modern kitchenettes are very, very attractive and fashionable as well, coming in all range of colors, and even in stainless steel models, with attractive countertops as well, in both formica and solid counter-tops.
5. Increase the Rent and Property Value. Let’s face it, a good looking apartment, with a clean, new kitchen, is going to bring in a higher rent, and a nice kitchen always makes the value of the property go up.
6. Better Tenants. Along with a higher rent comes more qualified tenants with better credit ratings, and more stability for you.
7. Surprisingly Cheap. Full-featured kitchenettes are surprisingly inexpensive, especially when you compare them to a regular kitchen where you have to buy everything separately, and even more so if you have to pay for a contractor. The prices for kitchenettes, full-featured kitchenettes, run from about $1000-$4000.
Kitchenettes are a great investment, especially for rental units, as they literally pay for themselves, in that they are relatively inexpensive, increase the value of your property, and increase the rent you can charge. If you’ve got a rental or small unit in need of fixing, a compact kitchen could be right for you.
