QUICK FIXES<br />
REPAINT YOUR CABINETS - if your<br />
units are in good condition, this is a great way to<br />
save money and stop the upheaval that a kitchen<br />
transformation can bring. We advise you only get a<br />
professional to do this as you need the finish to be<br />
hard-wearing. Similarly, changing the worktops can<br />
have a transformative effect.<br />
LIGHTING- kitchen lighting must be both functional<br />
and aesthetically pleasing. How about changing a<br />
pendant light to a spotlight rail for more working light, or<br />
changing the pendants on your breakfast bar. Try adding<br />
a wireless lamp to brighten dark corners.<br />
RESTYLE - change up the accessories you have on<br />
the sides and have a big declutter<br />
ARTWORK - hanging some new prints, or propping<br />
some on open shelves can inject personality into a space<br />
and make it feel more inviting.<br />
KITCHEN<br />
OVERHAUL<br />
ADD NEW KITCHEN STOOLS - many of us<br />
buy a quick fix with a new kitchen but it’s good to revisit<br />
with fresh eyes.<br />
ADD SOME OPEN SHELVING - it’s a fresh<br />
way to add a bit more storage and you can display your<br />
favourite pieces<br />

It might be time to bite the bullet and opt for a<br />
new kitchen - many of us are living with poorlydesigned<br />
spaces which don’t stand up to<br />
familial needs. If you’re trying to get this ordered<br />
before Christmas, you need to be decisive<br />
about what you need. Consult an expert<br />
kitchen designer - they’ll have ideas to<br />
maximise functionality whilst creating<br />
something beautiful.<br />
