Chantilly, Virginia – January 06, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
USA Cabinet Store, a kitchen and bath renovation specialist with showrooms across multiple states, announces expanded design and construction services to meet rising demand for larger kitchen footprints as homeowners choose renovation over relocation in today’s housing market.
The announcement comes as the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s 2026 Kitchen Trends Report reveals that 76 percent of design professionals expect kitchen footprints to continue expanding through 2028. This shift reflects changing homeowner priorities as many choose to invest in kitchen remodeling rather than navigate a competitive real estate market with elevated mortgage rates.
In markets like Loudoun County, Virginia, where median home values approach $786,200 and properties typically sell within 17 days according to 2025 Redfin market data, homeowners with substantial equity are investing between $50,000 and $150,000 in kitchen expansions. This trend represents a fundamental shift in how families approach home improvement, viewing kitchen expansion as a long-term value investment rather than cosmetic spending.
“The kitchen remodel trends 2026 data shows homeowners are reimagining these spaces as multi-functional hubs that support modern lifestyles,” said Emin Halac, President of USA Cabinet Store. “We’re seeing families eliminate formal dining rooms, embrace open-concept designs, and incorporate dedicated zones for remote work, homework coordination, and entertainment.”
To support this service expansion, USA Cabinet Store is adding local specialized design consultants trained in space planning and structural modification, while partnering with licensed contractors experienced in load-bearing wall removal and kitchen extensions. The company is also expanding its project management capacity to handle the longer timelines associated with footprint expansions versus traditional cabinet replacement projects.
USA Cabinet Store’s remodeling approach addresses the complete transformation process, from initial consultation through final installation. The company’s services encompass custom cabinet installations, bathroom renovations, and complete kitchen remodeling projects designed to optimize both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The shift toward larger kitchens reflects broader demographic patterns in home renovation spending. Generation X homeowners represent 35 percent of kitchen renovation projects nationally, while Baby Boomers account for 32 percent. Millennials increasingly prioritize entertaining space, while older generations focus on accessibility and ease of use.
The company’s design teams are responding to several key kitchen renovation trends identified in industry research. These include the integration of 10 to 12-foot multi-functional islands, concealed storage solutions requested by 87 percent of homeowners according to the NKBA report, and the incorporation of natural materials like wood grain cabinetry and quartzite countertops. Transitional and timeless design styles continue to dominate, with forest green and navy blue emerging as popular accent colors.
“Our teams are seeing unprecedented demand for kitchen expansions that incorporate smart technology, wellness-focused features, and flexible layouts,” added Halac. “These aren’t just cosmetic updates – they’re structural changes that modify how families use their homes.”
