How can I modernise my kitchen
Comments (20)I agree that the medium oak units with black worksurface look is pretty dated, and I personally think it can make the room seem quite dark. But as others have said, the kitchen in general looks to be in good condition. I would paint the units a lighter white-tone colour and change the handles to a mix of knobs and cup handles. Paint the walls in perhaps a contrast colour or white to keep it all fresh and neutral. Add some interesting accessories, pendant lamps etc. Cheap way to get a brand new look....See MoreDesign ideas to modernise a front room.
Comments (9)Yes I really didn't like the tv in the bay window, since we've got a bay window I'd like to make use of it, I think it's a lovely feature to have in the house. The hallway effect idea is perfect as well, I did think about a sofa but thought it would look a bit too "there" however with the console table, I think the focus would be off of the sofa plonked there! Thank you! We'd love to be able to do all the rooms in one hit but we're going to have to space them out, all of our money went on our deposit (it's expensive being a first time buyer) we also have no furniture, but if we can plan out what we want for the overall home that should help a little. It's certainly exciting!...See MoreModernising utility room - how do I paint these cupboards?
Comments (7)Is it just the light making the top cabinet cream and the bottom one white? In any case I personally would leave the bottom one as it is as there's no contrast with the washer dryer Which you probably don't want to stand out? The side of the top cabinet isn't as attractive with the screws visible though so personally I'd remove It. You could replace with 2 shelves and then maybe a rattan laundry basket on top of the dryer to balance things out or it looks as if you could do one long shelf over both the sink and dryer and then a shorter one just over the sink. I'd then just add hammam towels and a nice soap etc on the sink its hard to tell what the existing surface is though if you wanted to paint but zinsser goes over pretty much anything. I can't recall if it's the red or blue one you need and you just finish with paint of your choice. It has the consistency of milk though so is tricky to use at first (cover the floor!!) and not particularly cheap....See MoreHow can I modernise this bathroom ? Please help!
Comments (4)Definitely painting the walls in bold colour would make a big difference. If you found a bath panel in a colour like graphite grey i think that would go really well and possibly change the vanity unit to add some storage. A nice large mirror would look lovely too. I found some options from Roper Rhodes that could work. http://www.roperrhodes.co.uk/product/hampton-1700mm-front-bath-panel-3/#.W_WRvzj7SUk http://www.roperrhodes.co.uk/product/hampton-550mm-countertop-unit-3/#.W_WRzjj7SUk I really don't think you need to do anything to drastic the bathroom looks fresh and clean anyway you just want to add your own touch to it....See MoreAmber Jeavons Ltd
