Get Your Kitchen Holiday Ready: Small Upgrades That Make a Big Difference

The holidays have a way of bringing everyone into the kitchen. From preparing family recipes to entertaining guests and cleaning up afterward, your kitchen works overtime this time of year.

But getting your home ready for the holidays doesn't have to mean a complete kitchen renovation. Sometimes, updating a kitchen faucet or replacing an aging garbage disposal can make a noticeable difference in how your space looks and functions.

At Waterhouse bath & kitchen studio in Perrysburg, Ohio, we help homeowners, builders, remodelers, and designers find kitchen fixtures that combine beautiful design with everyday practicality.

Here are two kitchen upgrades worth considering before the holiday gatherings begin.

1. Refresh Your Kitchen with a New Faucet

Your kitchen faucet is one of the most frequently used fixtures in your home. It's also one of the first details people notice around the sink.

If your current faucet is outdated, difficult to operate, or simply doesn't complement your kitchen anymore, replacing it can be a relatively simple way to refresh the space without changing your countertops or cabinetry.

Find a Style That Fits Your Kitchen

Kitchen faucets come in a wide range of styles, finishes, and configurations. Whether your kitchen is traditional, transitional, or contemporary, the right faucet can bring the design together.

This November, we're featuring two Delta kitchen faucets that demonstrate just how different the possibilities can be.

Delta Renaldi in Polished Nickel

With its traditional bridge design and Polished Nickel finish, the Delta Renaldi brings timeless character to the kitchen. It's a beautiful option for homeowners who appreciate classic details and want a faucet that makes a statement.

Delta Cordova in Matte Black

For a more contemporary look, the Delta Cordova offers clean styling and a bold Matte Black finish. It can provide contrast against lighter countertops and cabinetry or complement darker kitchen finishes.

Both faucets are on display at Waterhouse, where you can see the finishes and details in person.

What Should You Consider Before Replacing a Kitchen Faucet?

Before selecting a new faucet, think about:

• Sink configuration: Make sure the faucet is compatible with your sink's mounting holes and installation requirements.

• Functionality: Consider how you wash dishes, fill pots, and use your sink throughout the day.

• Finish: Choose a finish that complements your cabinet hardware, lighting, and other kitchen fixtures.

• Size and proportions: A faucet should fit the scale of your sink and surrounding space.

Our showroom specialists can help you compare options and find a faucet that works for your kitchen, not just one that looks beautiful in a photograph.

2. Make Holiday Cleanup Easier with a Garbage Disposal Upgrade

Holiday cooking means more prep work, more dishes, and more cleanup.

If your garbage disposal is noisy, unreliable, or struggling to keep up with everyday use, it may be time to consider an upgrade.

A properly selected food waste disposer can make routine kitchen cleanup more convenient, especially in a busy household.

Explore InSinkErator Food Waste Disposers

This November, Waterhouse is highlighting several InSinkErator options for different kitchen needs.

InSinkErator PRO 1000 with LEDefense technology

The PRO 1000 is an option for homeowners looking for advanced disposal performance and additional features for their kitchen.

InSinkErator PRO 750

The PRO 750 offers another option for homeowners who want dependable food waste disposal performance for everyday kitchen use.

InSinkErator PRO 880LT

For kitchens where space beneath the sink is a consideration, the low-profile PRO 880LT may be worth exploring. Ask our team about remaining availability.

What to Look for in a New Garbage Disposal

Not every kitchen needs the same disposer. Before choosing a replacement, consider:

• Household size and cooking habits: How frequently do you prepare meals at home?

• Available cabinet space: Check the room beneath your sink, especially if you have a water filtration system or other equipment.

• Noise preferences: Different models offer different levels of sound reduction.

• Existing plumbing and electrical connections: Confirm installation requirements with your plumber.

And remember, even a powerful disposal isn't a substitute for proper food waste handling. Grease, cooking oil, and other unsuitable materials should stay out of your drain.

3. Plan Your Kitchen Updates Before the Holiday Rush

One of the advantages of focusing on smaller kitchen upgrades is that you may be able to refresh the space without committing to a full remodel.

A new kitchen faucet can change the look of your sink area. An upgraded garbage disposal can improve everyday convenience. Together, they can help make a busy kitchen feel a little more prepared for the season ahead.

Just be sure to allow time for product selection, availability, and professional installation before your holiday gatherings.
