The kitchen was functional but had been left behind. Blue painted walls with a dated diamond border, bare plaster patches where fixings had been pulled out over the years, tired white units that had seen better days, and blue vinyl flooring that made the room feel smaller and darker than it needed to. The boiler sat exposed on the wall, the worktop space was limited, and the overall impression was of a room that hadn't been touched in a long time. The brief was straightforward: bring it into line with the rest of the house without overcompleting it. New units, new worktops, proper tiling, new flooring, and lighting that actually worked for the space.
The existing units and worktops came out first, along with the old flooring and the wall fixings that had left the plaster in poor condition. Once the room was back to a clean shell, the walls were made good before anything else went in, getting the substrate right before tiling is the part that makes the difference between grout lines that stay true and ones that don't. Grey shaker-style units were fitted throughout, running in a U-shape to maximise the available worktop run. The wood-effect worktops were templated on-site and cut to size, with the sink repositioned and plumbing updated to suit the new layout. The washing machine was integrated under the worktop rather than left freestanding, which recovered visual space and tidied up the overall look considerably.
White metro tiles were laid as a full splashback between the worktops and wall units, with socket positions confirmed before tiling so nothing needed cutting around after the fact. The old spotlight cluster on the ceiling was replaced with recessed downlights, which cleaned up the ceiling line and gave the room a noticeably better quality of light. New wood-effect flooring went down last, running through to the threshold and tying the room together. The result is a kitchen that works harder than it did, looks considerably better, and feels like it belongs in the house it's in. Nothing was overcomplicated, the quality is in the execution, not the specification.
