NKBA study: Millennials outspend others on kitchen and bath remodels

August 16, 2016
No Comments

Millennials outspend other age groups when remodeling their kitchens and bathrooms, according to new research from the National Kitchen & Bath Association. The research, which includes respondents ranging in age from 18-68+, found that millennials spend an average of 17.7 percent more than the $19,155 typically invested in a kitchen remodel, and 42.3 percent more than the $11,364 normally allocated to remodel a bathroom.

“Understanding Millennial Kitchen & Bath Consumers” compares the behavior and attitudes of those ages 18-37 to other generations when planning kitchen and bath remodeling projects. The study, conducted by The Farnsworth Group, also found that more than half of the millennial generation has purchased a home in the last five years.

Other findings include:

  • When purchasing kitchen and bathroom products, younger generations value Internet searches and information from friends and family members more than other age groups.
  • Customer reviews are more important to millennials when selecting kitchen products compared to other age brackets. In the bathroom, the cost of a product is paramount for millennial buyers when compared to other generational groups.
  • In the kitchen, top remodel products installed were: Countertops (89 percent), Kitchen Faucet (75 percent), Kitchen Sink (74 percent) and Cabinetry (73 percent).
  • The average project plan time for kitchen remodeling was 1-3 months.
  • In the bathroom, top remodel products installed were: Flooring (79 percent), Bathroom Sink (77 percent), Bathroom Sink Faucet (74 percent) and Toilet (66 percent).
  • Master bath remodels made up 80 percent of total bathroom remodels.
