Everyone deserves a kitchen space they love, so here at Savoy Timber<\/strong><\/a> 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\u2019d like to improve your dream kitchen \u2013 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 \u2013 just changing your laminate kitchen worktops<\/a><\/strong>, for example, can have a surprisingly dramatic effect on the kitchen\u2019s overall look and feel.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Install under-cabinet or under-counter lighting<\/h2>\n

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!<\/p>\n

A great DIY to start with is strip lights under your counters or cupboards, like our viva LED flexible strip lighting<\/a><\/strong>, 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\u2019re protected from any accidental water splashes, and they\u2019re even dimmable, so you can have a beautiful and atmospheric kitchen on a budget. What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n

Switch out your old hardware<\/h2>\n

Another incredibly easy way to give your kitchen a facelift is by replacing your hardware. We\u2019re talking handles, doorknobs and anything of the like. It\u2019s simple, effective and it doesn\u2019t have to break the bank. All you\u2019ll need is your new hardware, a pencil, screwdriver (or a drill with drill bits if you\u2019ve 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\u2019re thinking about some new hardware, why not have a gander at the hardware options<\/strong><\/a> available right here on our site? We\u2019ve got a wide variety of products to choose from!<\/p>\n

Update your splash back<\/h2>\n

When it\u2019s been a few years or you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

We have a wide variety of splashbacks to choose from right here<\/a><\/strong> at Savoy Timber. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more warm, traditional aesthetic, you can be sure we\u2019ve got the perfect splashback for you. If you don\u2019t fancy doing it yourself, don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Change your countertops<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve not got the tools, skills or just the confidence to fit your worktops yourself, don\u2019t worry. Allow us to introduce you to our easy fit worktop kits<\/a><\/strong>. No need to buy power tools and jigs – these worktops will have the precise joint work completed on our specialist CNC machines \u2013 saving you time, money and mess.<\/p>\n

Take a look at our Black Slate Matt Laminate Kitchen worktop kit<\/a><\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n

These are just a few of our suggestions, of course \u2013 you might have your own ideas! But, now you\u2019ve 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\u2019re looking for a task that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

And, if you need any help, advice or have any questions about any of our products or laminate worktop kits<\/a><\/strong>, our team is here to help you out 7 days a week in store. If you can\u2019t make it down to one of our DIY storefronts, you can get in touch with us via the contact form<\/a><\/strong> on our site. Whatever way you decide to do, you can rely on us to provide you with it at the very best prices here at Savoy Timber. Happy DIYing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
