Most homeowners who are renovating their new kitchen probably look first at replacing their cabinets. After all, it’s the cabinets that take the most wear and tear, especially if you have a big family.

Floors are usually the next thing to be replaced. After all, they will have to match the new cabinets. Plus, if you are ripping everything out, there’s a good chance your old floors will look even older once you are done.

But when it comes to appliances, a lot of homeowners will keep their existing stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.

Especially if they are relatively new, a lot of people will opt to hang on to their existing appliances. But there are benefits to going with all new ones.

First of all, when your kitchen remodeling project is done, you are going to want your kitchen to look dramatically improved. If you change out the cabinets, floors, and perhaps the paint on the walls and ceiling but push the same old appliances back where they were, it’s going to diminish this effect.

Second, if you haven’t been shopping for appliances recently you probably are going to be surprised by the technological improvements that have been developed just in the past couple of years.
