The kitchen is the heart of every home and you need to be sure that your kitchen not only functions great but looks well too. Your kitchen should be a warm, welcoming and inviting area of the home where friends and family can come together and have space to mingle.
To ensure that your kitchen always looks its best, it’s important to update our decor from time to time. Restyling your kitchen will help you to keep your space looking fresh and modern. Focusing on a few key kitchen components, you can restyle and upgrade the look and feel of your kitchen so that it feels comfortable and cosy. With a DIY approach to your redesign, you can save money on expensive contractors and enjoy the fruits of your labour for many years to come.
Let’s take a look at a few DIY updates you can make to give your kitchen a new lease of life.
Update Your Kitchen Cupboards
If your kitchen cupboards are structurally sound, then why not give them a makeover? Painting the doors, hardware and drawer fronts can be done by even the novice DIYer and is much more affordable than completely refitting your cabinets. Be sure to choose the right paint, as you will need a different type for laminate and timber finishes. Finish the job with some decorative knobs to complete the new look.
Repaint The Space
There’s no better way to restyle any space than to give it a new lick of paint and your kitchen is no different. Choose bright, neutral colours that will make your kitchen feel more spacious. Give the ceiling, walls, window and door frames a couple of fresh coats of paint and watch your kitchen come to life before your eyes.
Replace Or Repair Your Worktops
Worktops experience a lot of wear and tear over time and will need a little extra attention. While you can simply have it replaced this is typically expensive and certainly not DIY. There are countless DIY alternatives that you can choose from or you can simply resurface your existing countertops with a range of different products available from your local hardware store.
Revive Your Backsplash
To transform your backsplash, you can use special tile paint so you can make it a cohesive part of your new kitchen redesign. Don’t be afraid to be bold with your colour choices as the backsplash is a great opportunity to add some contrast to neutral coloured walls and cabinets.
Do A Thorough Deep Clean
After you have restyled your kitchen, you should do a thorough clean to make sure that your space really feels like new. Spend some time getting into every nook and cranny and scrubbing all the surfaces until they are gleaming. Instead of going out and buying new appliances to fit with your DIY redesign, give them a good clean to make them look like new again.
If you want to go the extra mile, there are special paints that you can use to paint your appliances. However, as different paints are designed for different types of appliances, it’s crucial that you choose the right paint for the job.
Restyle Your Kitchen And Bring It Back To Life
Updating and modernising your kitchen can help to give it a new lease of life. With the DIY tips listed above, you can avoid spending a small fortune on having your kitchen redone. Put a plan in place from the beginning and have a clear vision in your mind of what you want to achieve. With a little time and hard work, it won’t be long before your dream kitchen becomes a reality.
