NIš, SERBIA, February 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A recent survey conducted by Delux Enterijeri reveals that homeowners are increasingly prioritizing kitchen renovations over luxury travel. The study, which polled 1,000 homeowners across diverse demographics, found that 62.3% would allocate $5,000 toward a kitchen upgrade rather than a vacation.

- Travel Habits: 66.3% take vacations once a year or less, with 56.8% spending between 1,000 - 3,000 per trip.
- Financial Priorities: 52.1% view home improvements as equally or more important than experiential purchases like travel.

Motivations for Renovations:
