After much deliberation we have finally decided to update our kitchen but rather than spending thousands on a new refit; we will simply make some small changes that will give the impression of a totally new design.
The blue cupboard doors are now white white gloss, the tatty vinyl floor has been exchanged for large stone tiles and the very chintzy wall tiles have been replaced with ‘old school’ white rectangular ones. The image on the right shows them in a bathroom, and they are often seen in industrial kitchens, schools and cafés. I chose this particular style as the design is timeless; I know that in five years time the they will still work within our scheme.
We are also thinking about a glass splashback (image on the left) but can’t decide on the colour? I am tempted to go for a clear glass as I am not a big fan of colour in kitchens. The tiles and Splashback are both from The Tile Depot (one of the UK’s largest tile and wooden floor companies). If you are thinking about a new kitchen or bathroom take a look at their website as they are surprisingly affordable. My tiles were just 59 pence each! I will post you more updates as we go along, including a before and after pic…
