Healthy renovators: In most surveyed countries,* one in four or more homeowners who are renovating their kitchen report leading a healthier lifestyle following their completed project. Japan is leading with over two-thirds (69%) switching to healthier habits post renovation, yet Russia is showing kitchen renovations are less likely to impact healthier lifestyle decisions (16%).
New homes drive new kitchens: Across the globe, a recent home purchase is one of the key drivers for kitchen upgrades. Nearly half of French kitchen renovators are prompted by a recent purchase (49%) and a quarter or more of other countries are showing a renovation decision based on that motivation as well (27%-46% across nearly all countries). Russia, however, is not as influenced by a recent new home purchase as only 15% cited that reason as a key driver for a kitchen upgrade.
Prioritizing larger kitchens: Many homeowners in countries across the globe opt to enlarge the size of their kitchen (32%-68% across nearly all countries), with Spanish homeowners at the lead (68%). The opposite can be seen in Russia with only one in ten opting to enlarge their kitchens (12%).
