NIš, SERBIA, February 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A recent survey conducted by Delux Enterijeri reveals that homeowners are increasingly prioritizing kitchen renovations over luxury travel. The study, which polled 1,000 homeowners across diverse demographics, found that 62.3% would allocate $5,000 toward a kitchen upgrade rather than a vacation.

Key Findings:

- Renovation Preferences: 51.7% of respondents completed kitchen renovations in the past year, surpassing bathroom upgrades (42.6%) as the most common home improvement project.
- Travel Habits: 66.3% take vacations once a year or less, with 56.8% spending between 1,000 - 3,000 per trip.
- Financial Priorities: 52.1% view home improvements as equally or more important than experiential purchases like travel.

Demographic Insights:

Respondents spanned multiple age groups, income brackets, and geographic regions. Notably:

- 75% were aged 25–54.
- 55.3% reside in suburban areas.
- 40.3% have owned their homes for over a decade.

Kitchen Design Trends:

Modern kitchens are increasingly defined by functional and aesthetic upgrades. Popular features include smart technology (43%), quartz countertops (28%), and open-concept layouts. Neutral color palettes, mixed finishes, and kitchen islands were frequently cited as design priorities.

Motivations for Renovations:

Respondents emphasized long-term property value, daily utility, and family-centric use as key drivers for kitchen investments. In contrast, the minority prioritizing travel (34.1%) cited memory-building and routine escape as motivators.

Funding and Future Plans:

Homeowners remain pragmatic about financing, with 49.6% relying on savings and 31.1% using home equity loans. Over 74% plan major home projects in the next two years, with kitchens remaining a focal point.
