Give your kitchen a spring makeover

It’s spring – a time of renewal both outdoors and inside.

At this time of year, we love to give our homes a makeover, and the best place to start is in the kitchen. Why not introduce new features or treat yourself to a brand-new kitchen?

Transform your kitchen with an island

Kitchen islands can be the solution to revamping your kitchen without changing everything. Kitchen islands are more versatile than you think, as they come in all shapes and sizes. What would work best in your kitchen? A U-shaped, L-shaped, circular or galley island?

A kitchen island creates much-needed extra workspace as well additional storage space. You gain an area to prepare food while under the counter is a place to store pots, pans, baskets – or any items you want in easy reach.

If you’ve longed for seating in your kitchen, an island offers informal seating with the addition of stools that can be tucked underneath. You can chat with family and friends while you’re cooking.

A kitchen island can also be used as a defining marker to divide your kitchen into two sections. On one side is the serious cooking zone, and on the other, the relaxing area.

Introduce fun and functional splashbacks

Splashbacks offer a fun and functional alternative if you’re bored with tiles.

A splashback is a multifunctional panel that can be fitted behind your hob, sink and any other working area to protect the wall from heat, moisture and stains. The panels can be made from vinyl, wood, glass, and stainless steel.

Splashbacks are a great way to give your kitchen a makeover, as you can use them to bring in splashes of colour. You could also choose reflective splashbacks to give the illusion of more space.

If you want to give your kitchen a stylish industrial look, brushed stainless-steel splashbacks are cool and chic. They’re also a practical option as stainless steel is highly durable, easy to keep clean, and heat resistant.

Change your old worktops

If you don’t want to change your whole kitchen – just swapping your worktops for new ones will make a huge difference.

Granite makes an eye-catching feature, and, as it’s one of the hardest natural products on earth – granite worktops are a great investment as they last forever. Granite is heat, stain and scratch resistant and easily withstands the daily wear and tear of a continually used kitchen.

An alternative is a quartz worktop, which offers a non-porous, robust surface that’s resistant to scratches, stains, and heat damage. Quartz is an excellent kitchen surface as it’s so easy to keep clean, needing nothing more than a wipe with a mild detergent.

Corian is another tough worksurface that’s made from a blend of acrylic resins, minerals and colourings. It offers a stone-hard surface that can be shaped to any dimension. It can even be thermoformed into curves to form one-piece moulded sinks and splashbacks or islands.

Switch to a handleless kitchen

If you want a complete change this spring – and would like to make a bold design statement – why not invest in a handleless kitchen?

German Kitchen Store has a stunning collection of handleless kitchens that are smooth, sophisticated and perfectly crafted.

Line N handleless kitchens are available in 14 ranges and 57 front designs. You have complete flexibility with the choice of two base unit heights, three tall unit heights and three wall unit heights.
