Stuck home isolating? Sick of watching another repeat on Netflix? Can’t stand one more take out meal from Uber? Now is the perfect opportunity to update your kitchen.
You don’t need to be an expert or flushed with cash for that matter. All you need is a little creativity and some time. So turn off the TV and pull up your sleeves - we’ve put together the best cheap and easy DIY kitchen projects to keep you sane during your isolation.
Put Up Some Open Shelves
Have a look at your kitchen walls – so much neglected space! Use all your wall space and put up some simple open shelves. Don’t forget to grab some hooks to hang your pots and pans. Not only will you create more storage space for yourself, but you can keep all your pretty plates and platters on display.
Swap Your Handles
Who would have thought that something so easy would have such an impact? Update the handles on your cabinets and drawers for an instant facelift. Choose knobs that are the same size as your current ones, so you don’t need to redrill the holes. Cheap yet effective!
Paint Your Cabinets
Looking for something more dramatic? Try painting your kitchen cabinets. A fresh pop of colour may be all your kitchen needs to look new again. And if done right, it could even add value to your home. All for the cost of a tin of paint.
Change the Taps
If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, consider changing your kitchen taps. Modern faucets are far more functional these days and come in a variety of stylish designs. Just remember to turn your water off first – or your cheap DIY project might turn into an expensive nightmare!
