We are going to improve the look of our 1980's kitchen before our flat goes up for sale , hopefully later this year. The units are all quite good still , flat fronted and a sort of beige colour. Unfortunately the double oven and the hob are brown , so we are thinking of replacing them .
The base of the units are lined with a (I don't know the proper name for it) brown (yuk again)thick band of laminate that I am thinking of replacing with a brighter colour to tie in with the floor. I would really like to paint over the beige tiles but dh is sceptical as to how it would look. His parents have painted their kitchen cupboard doors and it looks obvious that they have.
So I would love some tips on painting tiles and doors - can they look like they are new and if so what product did you use ?
Also any advice on where to get the cheapest hobs and ovens? Do you think we should put handles on the cupboards to update them? Should I keep the walls white ? I was thinking of a colour but thought white may make the kitchen look more spacious. It is a long narrow kitchen. Any things not to do as well?
Can you tell I am a bit of a novice
