Start off by organising your kitchen cupboards, this will make
any further DIY kitchen updates much easier.
Kitchen handles are very easy to replace and can give your
kitchen a fresh new look even on a tight budget.
Repainting your kitchen cupboards is a great alternative to a
complete room makeover and can dramatically change the look &
feel of a kitchen.
Paint the inside of your kitchen cupboards to create a pleasant
contrast with the rest of the room.
Alternatively, try replacing traditional cupboard doors with
glass doors or an open front, allowing you to show off your best
crockery.
Make the most of those open cabinet fronts by installing
cabinet lighting, this can be tricky so have an electrician fit
this if youre a DIY novice.
The easy availability of push to open devices means handle-less
kitchens are a stylish & child friendly alternative.
Upgrading your kitchen backsplash is a great way to refresh the
room, coloured glass is very popular at the moment and adds a
splash of colour to the kitchen.
If you have wall or floor tiles in your kitchen it can be worth
having them re-grouted to give them a brand new and squeaky clean
appearance.
Adding a large area rug is a good frugal alternative to a
complete flooring overhaul and helps keep the kitchen floor warm in
the winter.
If you have a bigger budget you could try replacing the entire
floor. Kitchen floors that match or complement the cupboards are
all the rage at the moment.
Use blackboard paint to turn a spare wall into a giant
blackboard. Handy for keeping the menu or shopping list up to
date.
Unused bookshelves can be easily repurposed as display units
for all your best crockery and ornaments.
De-cluttering the entire room can turn a tired old kitchen into
one that looks brand new, unnecessary items and furniture make
kitchens look messy & cramped.
Soft closing fittings can stop your cupboard doors from
slamming on fingers, these are particularly useful if you have
young children.
Replacing old pots & pans with stylish new ones in a
matching colour scheme can really liven up your kitchen.
Removing and installing a new tap is much easier than most
people think. A new tap looks great and can also save you money on
your water bills.
Investing in new window blinds can help to create an
interesting focal point and are key to any colour theme for the
kitchen.
If you have lots of wasted floor space, a small kitchen cart
can provide you with an easy way to clear up your counter
tops.
Above window shelving is a great way to put underutilised space
to good use, while not suitable for everyday items, this can work
well for ornaments.
Adding a pegboard to an unused wall space can give you a
fantastic place to store your everyday utensils.
Kitchen counter tops are arguably one of the most noticeable
aspects of any kitchen, so upgrading them can make a world of
difference to the appearance of your kitchen.
It might seem obvious, but repainting your walls can completely
reinvent the look of your kitchen and improve the feel of the
entire room.
Creating a feature wall is a cost effective alternative to
painting the entire room and can often look even better than a
total makeover.
Installing a pull out bin is a brilliant way of hiding one of
the most unsightly but entirely necessary pieces of kitchen
equipment.
If youre a fairly experienced DIYer then try your hand at
creating a kitchen island to take advantage of unused floor
space.
Hanging pendant lighting is a very popular choice that can be
made to fit any kitchen. Why not try hanging them low over a
counter top to create a focal point
Coner space is often underused due to the awkwardness of the
angle. Corner shelving is an inexpensive way to utilise this often
wasted space.
A trendy new wall clock can add a touch of sophistication to
your kitchen and serve as a great focal point while also being very
handy.
Hanging up your kitchen utensils is a great way to save on
drawer space while keeping your utensils within easy reach.
