Kitchen work tops ….

If you’re looking to give a quick lift or remodel to a kitchen on a limited budget then one way is to change the work top / surface as you can add a whole new look to the kitchen cupboards just by changing these.

Laminate work tops are the most versatile and the best for the money if you’re doing a remodel or revamp – they have a wide range of finishes which literally can go with any kitchen.

We suggest initially you go to B&Q and you see one of the kitchen advisors who will explain all the different qualities and then you need to go and measure very exactly where you’re putting or replacing the work surface – do take into account if you have a tile backdrop where they end and if your intending to replace the tiles as well to match up with your work top……

We love the different finishes which can add some lightness or drama to just plain kitchen cupboards.

These are our favourite three looks from B&Q………

Laminate Extra Thick Worktop Ebony Granite Gloss Effect £205.00 (diy.com)

This hyper shiny – glossy black granite effect work top will add some drama to any pale kitchen – think chrome appliances and you have a glossy kitchen in the making.

Laminate Worktop White Cashmere Textured Effect £110.00 (diy.com)

Laminate Worktop Beech £34.00 (diy.com)

Kitchen colour schemes ……..

If you’re stuck with kitchen and can’t be too drastic with your remodel or make over but you don’t want to just slap some more white paint on why not add some colour or just change the colour scheme on one wall to something eye popping and add some same colour accessories like appliances etc and your all different.

We have been to B&Q and picked from the Crown paint kitchen colour scheme – this paint is specifically made for rooms which will have condensation etc …..
