Give your kitchen an instant upgrade with a few simple DIY updates. Small cosmetic updates can give your kitchen the improvement it needs without it costing a fortune. Declutter, paint, and embellish your cupboards and drawers with new cupboard handles to take your kitchen space from its dated appearance to a sleek and stylish modern interior.

Declutter

Work your way through each drawer in the kitchen by clearing out the clutter and crumbs. Every home has that one drawer full of random receipts, leaflets from the postman and other bits and bobs that accumulate over time. It’s finally time to get rid of it! Check your cupboards for chipped mugs or damaged serving ware whilst in the clear-out process.

Paint

A fresh lick of paint can really spruce up your kitchen cabinets. A colour change can give the impression of a brand new fit out (without the hefty price tag!). From egg shell neutrals to dark daring shades of green, grey, and blue, there is a paint colour to suit every home! Dark grey tones are a popular choice for kitchen cabinets as it offers a luxury and stylish aesthetic which can be paired with bright counter tops and embellished with contrasting statement cupboard handles.

Before you start painting your cupboard doors, you will need to remove all the knobs and handles then apply protective masking tape to your cupboard hinges. Wash your cupboard doors down with soapy water and ensure that they are completely dry before applying your primer and first layer of paint. For a long-lasting finish, apply two coats of paint to the surface.
