BUDGET KITCHEN.

Change the lookIf you have a kitchen that has been squeezed into a window less corner of an open-plan room, then this kitchen needs a colourful makeover that will brighten it up and improve the view from the living and dining area. This kitchen also calls for you to shell out some expense. If there is a budget that you need to follow, take home these easy tips.
In a room with yellow walls the sun never stops shining, so it’s an obvious choice to cheer up a dark space. Team it with mint and pistachio green, which give a fashionable 1950s retro feel. Accessories in yellow and silvery metallics keep the look smart and simple, while you can choose to go for wood flooring to add a more retro touch.
The original units could be of any colour, but if they look too utilitarian, let us change them to make the kitchen a multipurpose room. Colour gives it a more dressy look; mint –green paint transforms the doors and drawers, and long curved metal handles add a stylish finishing touch. New laminate worktops in pistachio green complete the colour show. Go for a white fridge.
Most kitchens do not have a splash back. This little protection at the stove prevents damage to the wall and can also help you to save money! How? Removing old wall tiles is a horrid job, and replacing them can be pricey. But doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Painting is an option, but even easier is covering them with another material. It is a good idea to have the splash back covered with sheets of yellow laminate, glued onto the existing tiles.
Most modern kitchens do have a microwave. If you have a small household, a hob and a microwave may meet all your cooking needs. Building in microwave beneath the worktop gives a streamlined look, but make sure you allow for ventilation.
