It is often said that the kitchen is the most important room in any home as this is where many families gather after school and work to share their day, where meals are prepared and sometimes eaten, and friends tend to migrate to at a party. Often this essential part of the house gets the least attention and can quickly become tired and unloved but with a bit of hard work it can once again become the hub of the home.
A lick of paint on the walls can make all the difference to the appearance of the kitchen. The grease from cooking gets everywhere so a coat of paint can freshen it up no end. If you are working to a tight budget and do not want to replace cabinets and tiles these can be painted too. Wooden cupboard doors can look dated so painting them white or a colour of your choice can transform the kitchen.
Another inexpensive way to change the appearance of a kitchen is to cover the worktops with heat resistant vinyl. This vinyl comes in a variety of colours and effects and can make the world of difference for a fraction of the cost of new worktops.
