Restyle your kitchen: tips
Pimp your kitchen
Are you completely done with your kitchen? Or, have you just moved into a new home, but with a kitchen that is not to your taste? Then a first reaction is often: it will go straight away. The question is whether replacing the entire kitchen is really necessary to make it your own place. It is a costly exercise and anything but sustainable.
Our advice is: take another good look at the kitchen. What exactly is it that you don't like? The colour, the material of the cabinets, the countertop, etc. It could be that with a few interventions the kitchen can be transformed into a place where you feel completely at home. A few kitchen-pimp tips:
Fronts: pimp or replace
Your cabinet doors (fronts) together form a large surface. They are therefore a dominant factor in how your kitchen looks. In many cases, the cabinets are still fine. Then it is more convenient to upgrade or replace only your fronts, than to replace the interior as well.
There are now many parties that only supply fronts. The choice is enormous in material and color. Many parties specialize completely in IKEA formats. Some can also deviate from this. We mention a few:
If your fronts are still fine, but you don't like the color. You can also wrap them. You can order wrap foil in various standard colors at various places. There are also parties where you can have wrap made in your own color. Such as Custom Graphics .
Accessories
Accessories may sound like a detail, but accessories often have a defining stamp on the look and feel of the interior/kitchen. The trick is to choose accessories carefully and make sure it tells one story.
The danger is that the countertop is used as a dumping ground, also known as 'clutter' in English. Now 'cluttercore' is a trend in itself. But cluttercore also involves a careful selection of unique and personal items that tell your story.

Other worksheet
Are the fronts still fine, but the countertop at its end? You can also replace this fairly easily as a separate part. Depending on the material, you can do this yourself. For example, it is fairly easy to pour a concrete countertop yourself.
From gas to induction
Last but not least, it is also relatively easy to replace your gas appliance with an induction hob. The steps you need to take for this depend on your starting situation. For example, whether the right connection is already present in your kitchen and how big the recess (the hole) in your countertop is. Do you have questions about your specific situation?

Pinterest
Pinterest is also your best friend. Here you will find loads of inspiration about pimping and restyling your kitchen. Sometimes you end up in a 'loop' with the same images over and over again. Then it is useful to use other search words or switch to English search terms.
The more love and care you put into restyling your kitchen, the more personal it becomes. The effort is worth it.
Good luck and have fun turning your kitchen into your palace!
