Can I see your kitchen?

[bedsaidted]

I am looking to redecorate, my kitchen is very tired. I want something neutral enough or possibly light green. Anyone want to show me their kitchens for ideas? im really bad at this and find googling images just gives me perfect instagram kitchens. Thank you

Ours took a week and a half to do and made such a difference. We went to IKEA and used their design service . I already knew some of the things I wanted (wall units used as base units on one side to allow space for our table, solid wood worktops, a double sink and using patterned ceramic handles bought from a company in India via Etsy rather than any of the IKEA ones) and their designer worked with that and the measurements to come up with something that we really loved and that uses all the space. They suggested incorporating more drawers and I would do that again-its so much easier to access everything at the back.

And in my case the pictures were taken by the estate agent because we're selling. All the crap was jammed into cupboards and drawers 🤣

Love this

Currently a tip but here’s one from Christmas that’s making me want to decorate early just looking at it 😂

Love the cat on top of the cupboards. I used to have one that did this. 😹

@newrubylane thank you for sharing your kitchen. Those colours are what I have been thinking of for ours but the green for walls and white for the cupboard doors. The wall colour is quite similar to the cupboard paint I've tested which has a bit of a pinky undertone which I wasn't sure would go with green, but I can now see it does. Ours is also north facing, well north, north west.

Here's mine, not sure it's useful to anyone else as the room is ancient & quirky and can't take fitted cabinets; but I love it after 20 years of army quarters.

It's At The Barre by Valspar, if that helps.

This is mine when it went in 10 yrs ago

We just did our kitchen 6 months ago, have drawers everywhere, much better for storage that cupboards.

Ohh just coming to say what beautiful kitchens. Won't be showing mine as it is a 1980s wood kitchen 😂but well done ladies, kitchens are on fire. Not literally thank god.

Pretty neutral over here!

Do you mind me asking who made this? It reminds me of Murdock Troon, which we keep seeing on Facebook and quite fancy.

What’s an Edinburgh press?

@Miserygutsandtheblastedcold and everyone else saying how tidy these kitchens look.... I purposely designed mine to have LOADS of storage and nowhere to put junk simply because I'm not naturally a tidy person! We have a dishwasher, which helps, but I expect there was some hand washed stuff on the drainer (out of view) as I prefer to let things drip dry rather than using a teatowel. And there is quite often a little pile of recycling on the windowsill next to the door waiting to be put in the bin... cereal packets, amazon bags etc. We have a small recycling bin outside the back door but if it's raining it tends to collect on the windowsill.

OP, there is an FB group called UK Kitchen Reviews (DIY Kitchens, Wren, Howdens, Magnet, Wickes, B&Q, IKEA). There are loads of pictures there for people who have just recently done their kitchens. They are real people's kitchens not AI or unreal magazine quality. * *

Mine is a galley 2mx2m!

This is mine, Cashmere with F&B Bancha breakfast bar.

I chose sage green at the last minute - really glad I did. And pan drawers - best thing, better than lots of cupboards.

Some of the kitchens on here are beautiful and huge!

Stunning! How do you keep it so spotless.

Interesting, we have a similar colour in our living room (also north facing). Thank you.

Please can I come and live with you?

Omg the cat!!! That made me smile. Also really like the kitchen!
