What a Kitchen Makeover Usually Includes
A makeover focuses on the visible parts of the kitchen while keeping the main cabinet carcasses and layout in place.
Is Your Kitchen Suitable for a Makeover?
Your Makeover Options
Replacement Doors
The biggest visual change while retaining existing cabinet boxes.
Painting or Spraying
Suitable existing doors can be refinished in a completely new colour.
Vinyl Wrapping
A quick cosmetic route for doors or worktops, best considered a shorter-term finish.
New Worktops
Change the main horizontal surface without replacing the units below.
Handles & Hardware
Small changes that can make older cabinetry feel much more current.
Sink, Tap & Lighting
Finishing elements that complete the overall transformation.
Kitchen Makeover Ideas
- Painted Shaker doors in soft green, blue, cream or neutral tones
- Cleaner slab or handleless fronts for a contemporary look
- Two-tone cabinetry with darker base units
- Warm timber worktops with painted doors
- A quieter splashback or matching worktop upstand
Kitchen Makeovers on a Budget
They make the biggest visual difference.
If they suit the new scheme, replacement can wait.
Doors first, then worktops or splashbacks later.
Suitable existing doors may not need replacing.
What a Makeover Can't Fix
A makeover is mainly cosmetic. It is not the right solution when the underlying layout, storage, ventilation or services need major improvement.
Need more than a cosmetic update?
A refurbishment or complete renovation may offer better long-term value.

The number and finish of replacement doors, hardware, worktops and any additional sink, splashback or lighting work all affect the total.
