Can you help in advising where we might source a wall length chalkboard to sit atop pure white kitchen wall??

Easy to make one. Most DIY shops will cut a sheet of hardboard or MDF to size for you. That's where you will also find blackboard paint. Prime your board, then give it two or three coats of blackboard paint and fix to the wall.

Are the fascias an MFC finish? I would simply swap the doors. You can buy slab design doors cheap enough. Quicker than painting and no hassle. Do take into account that you have a matching edging on your worktops so if you're not planning to swap these it'll need to blend in.

Lighting is always underestimated throughout the home. A cheaper kitchen can look great if designed well.

I think I'd paint the doors & cabinets in a light colour and replace the handles - you can get some great looking, inexpensive ones, which will smarten it up right away and make it look more contemporary. If you are repainting the doors, if you find handles that have different hole spacing to those on currently, you can always fill the old holes, sand down before you paint, . Paint the walls a neutral colour - I think it's too small to carry anything too dark. Reduce the number of wall cupboards - remove the one on the cooker wall, but the remaining ones in that corner, could be moved up bit to be closer to the window, which would enable you to put up open shelves along the wall above the cooker (obviously don't go too low to the cooker top) - but these would give you the appearance of more space, with good storage, also if you feel you have enough storage these are a chance to have more decorative things. As others have said, most importantly you must remove the ceiling tiles and preferably replace the light - as Jonathan says a track light is good. Ditch the blind, the only place on earth for vertical blinds is an office! I'd hesitate in choosing a blind with too much pattern, because of the size of the room. And consider the film option for the time being. From the pictures, the floor doesn't look too bad in terms of condition, does it just need a clean up from removing the wall tiles? If it's not good, we've bought adhesive floor tiles before as a stop gap, which have been most effective and surprisingly good for what they are.

the splashback has existing tiles to be removed so without replastering it would be simpler to replace with tiles. The walls are currently an off white but more towards the yellow spectrum. like the idea of an off white if it leans more towards the blue or grey side. Evening is rolling in now so not the best lighting but here is a picture with all current contents.
