A kitchen is often the heart of a home, the space where people gather, meals are prepared, and cups of coffee are made to start the day. If your kitchen design is causing you stress, it might be time for a kitchen renovation. And that’s something Refresh can help with.

Get in touch with your local Central & East London Refresh Renovation Consultant to talk kitchen design ideas.

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

If you’re considering renovating your kitchen, you may be given lots of advice from friends, family, and colleagues as to what to be wary of. Renovation projects are often associated with headaches, budget blowouts, stressful schedules, and unreliable tradies.

At Refresh, we’d heard it all before, which is why we set out to change the way the world renovates - and we have! Because, here at Refresh we’ve designed a unique five-step process that makes renovations easy, enjoyable, and, most of all, successful.

What kitchen renovation ideas are currently popular in Central & East London?

Given the amount of time many of us spend in the kitchen, it’s important that any kitchen makeover meets the needs of the homeowners’ lifestyle… and that’s what many people are trending towards when it comes to remodeling their kitchen.

A kitchen renovation idea that is currently popular in Central and East London is opening up the kitchen and dining areas and positioning a central breakfast island to achieve a subtle division of space. Breakfast islands create space for light meals, easy breakfasts, afternoon snacks, or evening glasses of wine. It also allows young children to stake a claim on space for homework while meal prep is being undertaken on other bench spaces in the kitchen.

Another popular kitchen renovation idea is the use of colourful splashbacks and patterned tiles. For some homeowners, their kitchen layout works for their families, but the aesthetic is dated. An effective kitchen makeover sees neutral colour palettes brought through for a more contemporary vibe and stylish statements being made through feature walls, lighting, or decorative wall tiles.
