A new kitchen can be one of the biggest expenses homeowners can have. With the average lifespan of a kitchen being 25 years, it is an undertaking that most of us will only do a few times in our lives.
However, times change and so do kitchen trends. If you have spent a lot of money on good quality kitchen units and furniture, it need not be thrown away as times change. For those planning a kitchen refurbishment Guildford, there are options that can give a kitchen a new lease of life without the hassle and the expense.
Painting cabinets
There are many ways that painting your kitchen cabinets can give a new lease of life to an old kitchen. For example, painting kitchens light, neutral colours can lighten the room, painting them fashionable rust pink, sage or turquoise can bring your room roaring into 2024, and colour blocking can both make a statement and zone your room.
Those planning a kitchen refurbishment in Guildford who don’t want to make drastic changes should consider how colour blocking could be used to evoke architectural motifs existing infrastructure may not allow for. If you want something subtle and of the moment, why not try ‘pink fuzz’, the Pantone colour of the year.
Fabric skirts
A fashionable new kitchen trend, one that doesn’t have to be permanent and definitely won’t break the bank are kitchen skirts. Something many of us would associate with our grandmother’s sink, they are definitely having a moment, with trendy young designers and cooks on Instagram showing how to remove kitchen cupboard doors and replace them with liberty print or rustic hemp curtains. It’s an easy way to add a fun colourful pattern to your kitchen.
