7 WAYS TO REFRESH A TIRED KITCHEN | BUDGET KITCHEN IDEAS | 7 CHEAP KITCHEN UPDATES
If your kitchen looks a little tired, give it a fresh new look by making small changes, such as replacing
cabinet hardware or changing the colour of a wall. If you are feeling more ambitious,
you can make bigger changes that, although
they will require a little more time and effort, can create more impact.
1. CREATE A FEATURE WALL
Add interest to your kitchen by painting or wallpapering one
wall in an eye-catching colour or pattern.
CHOOSE SOME NEW ACCESSORIES
in colours that tone with the wall to
pull the design scheme together.
2. CHANGE CABINET HARDWARE
Update the look of your cabinets by adding new hardware. The
simplest option is to look for designs that
will cover existing holes.
FILL ANY HOLES with appropriate
filler if your knobs and pulls don’t cover
them, sand and touch them up with paint.
3. REPLACE DOORS
For a real transformation, replace cabinet doors and drawer
fronts. Make sure the size of the new ones
is correct for your units.
CHECK THAT THE POSITION of the
door hinges is in the same place for ease
of hanging.
4. REPLACE THE BACKSPLASH
A new backsplash can make a big difference to the look of a
kitchen, especially if you choose a material
different from your old one.
5. REPLACE COUNTERTOPS
Replacing your countertops can completely change the look of
your kitchen. Swap them for any material
your budget can accommodate.
IF YOUR COUNTERTOP is a good fit, lift it out and use it as a template for your new countertop.
6. REVAMP TILES
Give your existing tiles a makeover using tile paint, which
is available in a range of colours, or by
adding decorative tile transfers.
CONSIDER REGROUTING your tiles
if the grout is looking dirty.
7. CHANGE THE WINDOW TREATMENT
Update your window by adding a new blind. If your window overlooks a neighbour’s house or the street, add a window film.
