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

There was a show me your bedroom thread years ago, where of course everyone had beautiful bedrooms. One poster did a reverse search and many of them were hotel rooms abroad 🤣. Just saying incase anyone is feeling bad that their kitchen looks subpar.

Thank you!

FAB! Meanwhile, back in the real world for us mere mortals ... 😂

We saved up for a decade as we wanted something unique, not a boring kitchen from IKEA, Wren etc. It is a real work of art. I have sensitive-imaged it as it may make you so jealous you'll need therapy.

I agree. It looks so fresh, particularly with the white tiles and work surfaces. 😍

Lovely colour! 😍

Gorgeous! 😍

You wish! 😂 That's gorgeous! 😍

Oh dear God - I can never unsee that! 😫

We had green walls, similar to the green MN use as background to the OP's post. The cupboards meant their was no large area of green.
We had a panel of Mexican tiles on one wall. Small squares and bright colours.

😂😂😂Yep, I definitely need therapy after seeing THAT! (Who know you could have an en-suite kitchen? 😂 )

😅

This is mine. Not the best photo in the world, but the cabinets are a forest green colour.

Lovely! 😍

I’ve got so much kitchen envy looking at this thread! It reminds me of the annual Christmas fridge thread.

I won’t post my kitchen as it’s at least 40 years old and the wrong colour and it will just make you glad you have the kitchen you already have! 😂

Wow all your kitchens are beautiful! I am not showing mine as 1990’s! and falling apart!

Thank you. Did you use their fitting service too?

What beautiful kitchens, mine is in a right state, very clean though! Had a new sink put in and am going to get it decorated. No way that I can afford to replace it and I am glad I chose white units with plain flat doors that have not dated. However the doors are looking scruffy and I was thinking about just replacing them but I come out in a cold sweat at the thought of measuring and getting it wrong. Some of the replacment doors websites seem as pricey as getting a budget kitchen . Then I think about painting the doors and watch YouTube vidoes and it all looks a piece of piss and so simple with great results but I can imagine doing it all wrong and having to live with my kitchen looking even worse. So I sit there paralysed with indecision. Loving the thread and hope it inspires me to do something

Can’t show mine as it is messy - but I have pale green units and have painted the walls ‘waxed jacket’ by dulux heritage. Thought H would hate the colour but we both love it. And I have the most beautiful scandi wallpaper on one wall (it’s dark green with rabbits and foxes).

I know so many with white kitchens. My own was cream for about fifteen years. I just got bored with plain neutrals. I have to say if I did it again I think I’d go for an airforce blue shade on the units. But I love green too.

Easy to tell the real ones from the AI!

@ReductionHob can I ask where your flooring is from? Lovely kitchen.

@Skippydoodle I really do like that table.

Just to add - it’s so bloody expensive- I lived with a crumbling shit kitchen for fifteen years. When we did get it done it was because we received an inheritance- couldn’t have afforded it otherwise as it cost 15k (on top of that we had to get the house rewired). I went for wren and it’s good quality but their fitters charge a fortune so we went with local tradies for installation. They ballsed up the kickboards so it’s a decision I regret!

Here's mine OP. After 41 years with my DH, in three houses, I finally got my first ever new kitchen three years ago (it'll probably be my last too!) Mine's a Burbidge kitchen in F&B Putty and Old Navy, with F&B Stiffkey Blue on the opposite end wall (I didn't want to cram in an island in my relatively small kitchen - 15.5ft x 17ft - but I liked the idea of having an accent colour so achieved it on the "feature" hob wall with the base units). I would have liked all navy, but thought it might be too dark in our West-facing kitchen. No tiling anywhere so no grout to go grotty over time. The hob splash-back is easy-clean (and it really is!) toughened mirror which I bought online from a Belfast company at a keen price, and the flooring is Amtico which I bought online at half the price of our local retailer. If you want these online retailers' details OP, DM me and I'll send you the links. 😃Good luck with your new kitchen - the pale, soft greens that have been posted are beautiful!

We went for pink and I love it 😀
