Fuss-Free Kitchen Makeovers

Thinking of remodelling your kitchen but dread the messy renovation work? We have a solution: retrofit your kitchen instead! Retrofitting is like renovating your kitchen in a shorter amount of time, sans the noisy drilling and hacking. Here are some tips and tricks that you can consider if you want to give your kitchen a quick makeover.

APPRECIATE WHAT IS THERE

When deciding how to upgrade your existing kitchen, it is important to focus on making small tweaks rather than major revamps. When planning your new kitchen layout, consider shifting the tables and cabinets rather than the sink and oven fittings.

REFURBISH SMALL FITTINGS

Updating small fittings like faucets and taps can immediately uplift your space. New technology such as sink mixers with smart controls and sleek designs can transform your water experience in the kitchen, making food preparation and even the clean-up process much more enjoyable. The GROHE Essence SmartControl sink mixer comes with a state-of-the-art SmartControl feature that allows you to start, stop, and adjust the volume of water flow effortlessly. It also offers easy maintenance with the GROHE StarLight chrome finish, so you will never have to worry about losing that sparkle in your kitchen.

OPEN SHELVING AND ACCESSORIES

Another easy way to rejuvenate your kitchen is to opt for an open shelving concept. By taking the doors off some of your cabinets, you can easily show off your bespoke tableware or exotic spice collection. Door-less shelves also make it easier to reach for things in your kitchen, especially if you need them in a jiffy.

If that concept does not appeal to you, you can think about accessorising your kitchen space to make it seem more personalised instead. Adding framed photographs or even a small vase of dried flowers can do wonders in making your space more unique.

LIGHTING UP YOUR NEW KITCHEN

Did you know you can achieve a pretty different kitchen ambience just by playing around with different lightings? For example, a warm soft light will give the impression of a comfortable and cosy space, while a brighter white light will illuminate your kitchen and give a modern minimalist look. You can even change the design of your kitchen space by shifting the lighting to hit different surfaces, or by adding a statement light shade to your main ceiling light.

A SPLASH OF PAINT GOES A LONG WAY

Painting kitchen cabinets is not a new hack, but it makes a significant difference. A different colour for your cabinets can help freshen up a small space or add character to a dated look. Before painting your kitchen cabinets, prime them to get a high-quality finish and show off your exquisite colour choice.
