It\u2019s the most common major feature upgraded during a kitchen renovation and most commonly splurged-on item, the Houzz survey finds. Further, engineered quartz has become the most popular countertop material choice, overtaking granite, 43 percent versus 34 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>To add more storage and counter space, nearly two in five homeowners surveyed said they are adding kitchen islands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur annual kitchen trends surveys reveal that consumer preferences for products, design, and technology vary not only across urban, suburban, and rural areas, but also evolve over time,\u201d says Nino Sitchinava, principal economist at Houzz. \u201cCountertops in particular are having a real moment today as homeowners focus on decluttering surfaces for a sleek and tidy kitchen post-renovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The average amount spent on a major kitchen remodel\u2014which includes replacing at least all of the cabinetry and appliances\u2014for a 200-square-foot or greater kitchen is $42,000, according to Houzz.
