A dream kitchen worthy of the front cover of a fancy style magazine is an ambition of many, but rarely can your budget quite fulfil your desires.
1. Change the lighting.
Take out that horrid strip lighting and look for something more styled. For cheap buys hit IKEA for inspiration or go retro with some vintage light fittings you can upcycle. Also get creative with under-cabinet lighting for the perfect ambience.
2. Cover the worktop.
If you can’t afford a brand new worktop, then cover it up! Shop around for cutting boards, breadbins, containers or even that dish rack you’ve had your eye on.
3. Add artwork.
Either buy some cheaply or make your own, but liven up those empty walls, nooks and crannies with some art. An easy and creative way to stamp your personality on the heart of your home.
4. Change your handles.
To modernise a dated kitchen simply replace the cupboard handles with cheap, but stylish replacements. A quick job, that even the most DIY shy can achieve, it instantly makes your kitchen more contemporary. If you want to go further, replace your sink tap too!
5. Add a blackboard.
Either buy a blackboard or simply paint a cabinet with blackboard paint for this creative and informative addition to your kitchen. Whether you use it as a diary, shopping list or a creative space, a blackboard adds that lived in look and keeps you organised.
6. Freshen up your tiles.
Many kitchens seem held in the past by their style of tiles. Update these on the cheap with either tile paint or buy easy to apply peel and stick wall tiles to bring your kitchen into the twenty-first century.
7. Add flowers and/or fruit.
A fruit bowl or flowers adds instant colour and warmth to a kitchen. Although, make sure to dispose of them as they lose their freshness. The added benefit of a fruit bowl, it is can encourage you to grab one of your five a day as you pass by, while the fragrance of fresh flowers is unbeatable.
