Everyone deserves a kitchen space they love, so here at Savoy Timber we like to keep our customers up to date with all the latest and easiest kitchen DIY tricks. Now, you might well already have a couple of ideas in mind about how you’d like to improve your dream kitchen – and the good news is, it might not necessarily need a major remodel. Sometimes a collection of small changes makes a bigger impact than one giant one – just changing your laminate kitchen worktops, for example, can have a surprisingly dramatic effect on the kitchen’s overall look and feel.
So with that in mind, here are a few of our favourite, easy DIY hacks that you can do to breathe new life into your kitchen – no renovation necessary!
Lighting especially is a fun and affordable way to add a little something extra into your kitchen. It only takes a few minutes and it can have a really dramatic impact on the space. Lighting transforms a room in the flick of a switch (literally). It can also enhance your decor and make your kitchen space more inviting for cooking and entertaining guests!
A great DIY to start with is strip lights under your counters or cupboards, like our viva LED flexible strip lighting, for example. This handy rope of light comes with a self-adhesive back, as well as male and female ends, allowing you to make it as long or short as you like (bonus: no glue required). These cost little to run when compared with traditional lightbulbs, they’re protected from any accidental water splashes, and they’re even dimmable, so you can have a beautiful and atmospheric kitchen on a budget. What’s not to love?
Another incredibly easy way to give your kitchen a facelift is by replacing your hardware. We’re talking handles, doorknobs and anything of the like. It’s simple, effective and it doesn’t have to break the bank. All you’ll need is your new hardware, a pencil, screwdriver (or a drill with drill bits if you’ve got one handy), measuring tape and a couple hours of your time. Simply remove your old hardware, drill your new holes (if necessary) and install your shiny new handles. If you’re thinking about some new hardware, why not have a gander at the hardware options available right here on our site? We’ve got a wide variety of products to choose from!
When it’s been a few years or you’re ready for a change, a great way to spice things up is with a new splashback (sometimes known as a backsplash). Often overlooked when it comes to DIY, a new splashback can breathe new life into your kitchen. It not only protects your walls, but also brings a touch of style to your kitchen.
We have a wide variety of splashbacks to choose from right here at Savoy Timber. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more warm, traditional aesthetic, you can be sure we’ve got the perfect splashback for you. If you don’t fancy doing it yourself, don’t worry! We offer next day delivery here at Savoy Timber, as well as a professional jointing and fabrication service, so you can kick back and have a cuppa while we install it.
Lastly, and arguably the biggest DIY trick we have for you is changing your countertops. Switching your counter-tops will completely transform your kitchen without breaking the bank. We have a massive range of worktops to choose from right here on our site, so whatever the style of your kitchen, you can always count on us to have something for you.
And if you’ve not got the tools, skills or just the confidence to fit your worktops yourself, don’t worry. Allow us to introduce you to our easy fit worktop kits. No need to buy power tools and jigs – these worktops will have the precise joint work completed on our specialist CNC machines – saving you time, money and mess.
Take a look at our Black Slate Matt Laminate Kitchen worktop kit for example. Stylish and simple, these worktops arrive complete and ready to fit (along with easy-to-follow instructions too). These impressive countertops are popular with kitchen trade and DIY customers alike. They also have an easy-clean surface and are scratch resistant and water repellent!
These are just a few of our suggestions, of course – you might have your own ideas! But, now you’ve got some examples as to what you can do with a little elbow grease, minimal funds and some imagination, you can get started upgrading your kitchen! Whether you’re looking for a task that’s quick and easy like LED strips, or something with a little more pay off like a new laminate countertop, you can browse all our ranges right here on our site.
And, if you need any help, advice or have any questions about any of our products or laminate worktop kits, our team is here to help you out 7 days a week in store. If you can’t make it down to one of our DIY storefronts, you can get in touch with us via the contact form on our site.
