What room is the most expensive to renovate?

• <div><p>It may not come as a surprise that the kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to renovate. This is due to the expensive appliances like the range, hood, and fridge, but also because the bones of the room—like electrical and plumbing—are expensive to move or replace. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-kitchen-remodel-cost.htm">renovate a kitchen on a budget</a>, it will always carry a hefty price tag, even if you cut some corners.</p></div>
