So, we've very nearly bought this house and although my MIL insists it's fine she's not living here.
So, I'm don't know wether to paint units and change handles, change work tops and tiles. Or, suck it up and have a new kitchen fitted.
I'm not sure if by the time I've paid to have everything altered I might aswell just look into a new kitchen.
Advice is ever so welcome.

What would you do to this kitchen?

Ps not sure what is in rest of room but if there is any extra space et the end of the worktop run you could have a worktop curved overhang and tuck a bar stool under it to make a teeny breakfast bar. Or you could put very thin spice rack shelving / towel rack on the side of the cabinet.
It’ll look much more homey once its in use

Quartz worktop, white ceramic sink & white subway tiles would give a much nicer blank canvas for coloured accessories etc.

I would:
change worktop to white
white Backsplash
spray paint the units a pale color (soft blue/ green/ pink)
put shelves around the extractor fan
put rug in floor
when dishwasher needs replacing, go for stainless steel
change handles to whatever you like
fill with plants - lots of lovely light
The room is long and narrow so there aren’t too many options when it comes to design. Stick with what you’ve got, if the cabinets are solid and in good condition. Spend you money on tiles, blind, rug, light fixtures, white goods

I would have it wrapped - light grey with white tiles. I see these kitchen wrap makeovers on FB all the time and they look fab!
don’t know how much they cost tho

I don't see what's wrong with the units and handles. I would change the tiles and am unsure about the worktop. What I don't like is the floor going diagonally across the room. It should be straight across in line with the units.
