How to update your kitchen without spending a fortune

Is your kitchen starting to look a little tired, but you don’t want to spend a fortune freshening it up? Don’t worry, you don’t have to. All you need is a little time and effort along with a few creative ideas and clever tricks.

Update With Laminate Worktops & Other Clever Tricks

If your cupboards look a bit dated, but they are still in pretty good shape, you could choose to replace the doors instead of getting completely new units. This allows you to update the style and colour at a fraction of the price.

Alternatively, simply give your cupboards a quick freshen up with a few coats of paint. Painting your kitchen cabinets is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to create a new look. Think about using colours such as pale sage green or duck egg blue — both are versatile choices that suit lots of different materials and finishes.

One of the easiest yet most dramatic ways to update your kitchen instantly is to update your worktops, and laminate worktops are by far the most cost effective way to do this. Whether you want a modern or traditional look, laminate provides you with a high-quality worktop at an affordable price.

If you like the look of a solid surface worktop such as granite or quartz, but your budget doesn’t stretch far enough, try a granite or quartz effect laminate worktop that offers the same look at a fraction of the price. Have a look at this comparison of various different types of worktops and you’ll find that laminate worktops provide the same quality as other surfaces at a much lower price (See a guide to buying a worktop).
