New kitchens can be one of the largest selling points of a new build home but often tastes and requirements change, meaning the dream kitchen chosen may no longer suit your style or not be offering the storage solutions you are looking for.
If you want to uplift the look of the space without a complete renovation, why not consider adapting your kitchen with new finishing touches and the addition of new storage areas?
This is what Scarlett Dixon, of @ScarlettLondon did with her Cranbrook Sage kitchen.
The Process
First we discussed with Scarlett the look she was hoping to achieve with Symphony additional units, and also the things about her current kitchen she wanted to improve to create the dream home.
The initial thing discussed was the lighting in the room, and how we could focus on brightening up the kitchen space. It was agreed this could be achieved with a change of worktops, that created a stronger contrast between the cabinets and also provided a light-reflective space.
Scarlett loved the change, “We are so delighted by how the worktops look and we can’t believe how much they change up the look of the kitchen. Light bounces off the surface and everything looks so bright and clean! It’s a fabulous (and more affordable) alternative to natural stone and it’s made such a huge difference in transforming our standard new build kitchen into our dream one!”
Cornice and Pelmet were also added, alongside brass kitchen handles, which elevated the look of the kitchen to create a beautifully elegant look. Brass is one of the most popular interior trends of the moment and definitely helped to create a sophisticated space in Scarlett’s home.
The kitchen had limited numbers of drawers, so Scarlett opted to change two of the cabinets under the hob into pan drawers, providing a practical change that will help her with organising the contents of her cabinets.
Inspiration
To ensure you get the look of the kitchen you are dreaming of we highly recommend doing your research and creating a mood board of the various styles you see.
As you research you will find handles, worktops and even range styles that you prefer, make sure to save these and combine with the kitchen finishing touches to see how the multiple elements will combine when you fit.
