Project Overview:

At The Kitchen Renovators, we pride ourselves on transforming tired, outdated kitchens into stunning, modern spaces through our makeover services. Our latest project was for a couple looking to refresh their kitchen with a modern, stylish design that would breathe new life into the space. The kitchen was no longer functional for their needs, and the couple felt the aesthetic no longer matched their lifestyle. They wanted a new, vibrant look, more functionality, and a personal touch to reflect their tastes.

This case study highlights how we helped this couple achieve the kitchen makeover of their dreams with a fresh, contemporary design, including a beautiful two-tone colour scheme and several thoughtful upgrades.

The Kitchen Makeover Brief:

The couple reached out to The Kitchen Renovators with a clear vision: they wanted a modern kitchen makeover that would feel light, airy, and inviting. The space was dark, with outdated units, and needed to be updated both aesthetically and functionally. Their key goals included:

  • Replacing the kitchen doors and drawer fronts with new, contemporary options.
  • Introducing a two-tone aesthetic of cream and sage green to modernise the space.
  • Installing new handles, trims, panels, and plinths to enhance the sleek look.
  • Updating the worktops and upstands to something more durable and stylish.
  • Installing a new composite sink and tap for a modern, high-quality touch.
  • Replacing the existing extractor fan and dishwasher with new, energy-efficient models.
  • Adding a unique, printed glass splashback featuring a sunset image from the couple’s favourite holiday destination.
  • Bringing in a gas engineer to fit a new hob for enhanced functionality.

The Kitchen Makeover:

1. Colour Palette & Aesthetic:

The existing kitchen had a dark, dated look that made the space feel cramped and uninspiring. The couple’s vision was to create a brighter, more open feel, which we achieved with a two-tone colour scheme. By combining cream for the wall cabinets and sage green for the lower units, we introduced a sense of balance and serenity. These colours not only added a fresh, modern touch but also made the room feel lighter and more spacious, perfectly reflecting the couple’s desire for a brighter kitchen environment.

2. Doors and Drawer Fronts:

One of the major changes in this kitchen makeover was replacing the old, worn doors and drawer fronts. The new, high-quality, flat-panel doors provided a clean and contemporary aesthetic. The smooth finish, paired with the two-tone colour scheme, elevated the kitchen’s design, giving it a sleek and minimalist appearance that’s both timeless and practical.

3. Handles, Trims, and Panels:

To complete the modern look, we replaced the kitchen’s existing handles with modern, sleek options that offer both functionality and style. New trims, panels, and plinths were also installed, providing a polished, professional finish. These small yet impactful upgrades were key in achieving a fresh, refined look for the entire kitchen.

4. Worktops and Upstands:

The old worktops were not only outdated but also starting to show signs of wear and tear. We replaced them with high-quality, durable worktops that perfectly complement the new colour scheme. The sleek, smooth finish of the new worktops not only enhanced the aesthetic but also made the space more functional. Matching upstands were added to ensure continuity in design and a seamless flow from the worktops to the walls.

5. Composite Sink and Tap:

We installed a modern composite sink, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly durable. The sleek new tap adds a touch of elegance to the kitchen, offering both style and practicality for the couple’s daily needs. This upgrade improved the kitchen’s functionality while maintaining a clean, contemporary look.

6. New Extractor and Dishwasher:

To improve the kitchen’s efficiency and functionality, we replaced the old extractor fan with a new, powerful, and energy-efficient model. The new dishwasher was also installed to replace the outdated one, providing more efficiency and a more streamlined design that fits perfectly into the modern kitchen space.

7. Glass Splashback:

One of the standout features of this transformation was the glass splashback. The couple wanted something truly unique, and they chose a beautiful photograph of a sunset from their holiday – something that had special meaning to them. The printed glass splashback brought a personal, creative touch to the kitchen, transforming it into a space that truly reflected their tastes and memories. It added colour, warmth, and a striking focal point to the heart of the kitchen.

8. Gas Hob Installation:

To complete the makeover, we brought in a gas engineer to safely install a new, modern hob that matched the updated kitchen design. The hob not only looked sleek but also provided the couple with a reliable and efficient cooking solution, perfect for their needs.

The Results:

The transformation was stunning. What was once a dark, outdated kitchen is now a bright, modern space that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. The two-tone colour scheme of cream and sage green created a light, fresh atmosphere, while the new composite sink, worktops, and appliances improved the kitchen's overall efficiency. The personalised glass splashback became the focal point, bringing the couple’s personality and memories into the heart of the space.
