Top tips to refurbishing your kitchen

The kitchen you dream of is a lot closer than you think. Even if your existing kitchen’s been through a continuous war with toddlers and young children - causing several loose hinges, chips and stains, you’ll be glad to know, the structure of your kitchen is most likely good as new. As long as the wear and tear is only present on the surface, you won’t need to rip out your entire kitchen and start over.

Refurbishing your kitchen worktops

With the visible surface area your worktops cover, you can make or break the look of your new kitchen. If you’re on a tight budget, try a laminate worktop – they’re affordable, offer easy maintenance and are available in various design and colour choices. Whatever worktop you choose, ripping out your entire kitchen units is not the answer - It’ll only mean spending more money, causing inconvenience and kitchen down-time.
