Top tip: Swapping out old drawer and cupboard handles is one of the quickest and easiest ways to give your kitchen a designer-style boost on a budget. For a timeless look, consider classic hardware such as brass or brushed nickel handles. They’re a great way to add a touch of class and will complement just about any color scheme.


Paint inside the cupboards

A bright pop of color inside cupboards is guaranteed to put a smile on your face whenever you reach inside. Or better still, remove overhead cupboard doors to create open, colorful shelving for a cheerful feel.

If you’re nervous about choosing a bold color for your walls, play with the woodwork instead. Invigorating greens will add a sophisticated feel to your scheme, and create the illusion of space if the rest of the walls are lighter shades.
