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

I'm only browsing this thread to feed my kitchen envy 😂 Now I feel so hard done by, I'm going to cheer myself up by copying @Starling7 and posting my AI generated kitchen. I obviously have an AI cleaner to keep it looking nice!

Very glam! But in all honesty I don't know why people have these kitchens where people sit in a row. 🤔
Have a table, people can sit round and chat!

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

Beautiful kitchen , could you tell me where you got your lovely flooring ? Thanks

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

That looks beautiful. Wish i had somewhere to hang a garland

Mine is green and simple, we have limited space but also a baby so added a table in the middle of the room, so we can all eat together. The bannister/posts are now also sage green but haven't got a photo of this.

Love the cat, the clock and the light 😍

Lovely and light and airy.

Beautiful! How do your keep your flooring grout so clean, is it protected?

We had an extension and new kitchen last year. Think it’s still missing something in that big space above sink - maybe a large clock?

it’s an L-shaped room so where I stood to take pic is a sofa and tv area. Then to left of kitchen on photo is a dining area with cocktail cabinet and bookshelves.

We had so much stress and unexpected cost renovating our house, including a lot of uncertainty over getting back in due to a lot of issues arising (part of house is 1800’s) - it was one of the most stressful times of our lives.

Love it and has changed how we live as a family but not sure I’d do it all again with the benefit of hindsight!!!

This is when we moved in. It is four more cluttered now😂

This is very smart. How many ovens do you have?

Oh, tell me about it! It's one of the most stressful things, isn't it?
Nice result though. I wouldn't go for a clock, I find those massive clocks a bit oppressive. A nice print, perhaps, or shelves to display nice and colourful crockery?

Thanks - that’s a good idea actually - we do have a print on the right (can’t see it in this photo) but might look at a large one for there

LeNil · 13/09/2025 08:57

All the photos I have of my kitchen are party photos! I found one with nobody in when we retiled behind the cooker. Anyway, my kitchen is green, I think it was called asparagus green and I love it. It needs a repaint but I do it the same colour. It’s satin paint which is much easier to clean.

This is mine, walls not painted yet... Was put in as part of an extension about four months ago and I absolutely love it! Was months and months of agonising on design after always having small kitchens. It's Howdens with compact laminate worktops.

This is lovely and we are just about to put in a very similar kitchen with similar looking layout from Howdens!

would you mind sending me the floor plan and details please? We are going for the Greenwich range and I think our plan is ok but I just can’t tell if it we will have enough worktop space as the images from Howdens are awful. Pm me if you are happy to, thanks so much!

3 ovens and a coffee machine. I do thanksgiving and Christmas for around 20-25 people so they come in handy!

Are only people with massive kitchens responding to this or does all of Mumsnet have huge, fancy kitchens?!

My kitchen looks like it hasn’t been done in over forty years so I’m not posting. I would if I was proud of it.

I envy all of you with nice kitchens, mine sucks and I can’t afford to redo it.

Once I posted a pic, and... tumbleweed. That taught me! 😕

Me too Twinkly and it took me by surprise how much I minded! I will never be posting photos of my cat again, it was like coming last in a bonny baby contest...

No photo of my rubbish kitchen either as I didn't design it, it's really old and rubbish and badly needs redoing

ZiggyZowie · 13/09/2025 09:14

This is mine, walls are Dulux jade white,just a hint of pale green.

It's not a fitted kitchen. I bought free standing tables from Amazon and I used an existing cupboard for storing food

Looks a little dark on this photo but it works really well,

These are all beautiful kitchens … have you all spent hours cleaning before posting 😆
I am away from home but my kitchen bench holds the detritus of the day.

This is nice, very cosy. I like the table with the flowery cloth. I think it's preferable to being perched on stools, personally.

I'm not posting mine, don't worry!
All my appliances are on the counter tops, and one of the cabinet doors has fallen off.
Plus it's very bright colours which won't be popular on here! 🙃

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

Yes I second pan drawers I got as many as possible and they are way better than cupboards.

This is nice, looks like a kitchen, not an operating theatre.
