Here, we will show you some tried and tested kitchen renovation tips that are easy and quick.

1. Install a New Splashback
A neatly installed backsplash can at once transform your kitchen and provide it with a more modish and classier look and feel. When it comes to kitchen splashback selection, there is an awesome range available today. Some popular splashbacks explained below:
Lustrolite splashbacks look very similar to glass; they can be effortlessly installed in kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms or any interior vertical surface. Lustrolite splashbacks are resistant to stains and chemicals, scratch resistant, and wear resistant to heat and thermal shock – these qualities make Lustrolite splashbacks special.
Moreover, Lustrolite splashbacks are easy to install and maintain, available in elegant colours and made of 100% waterproof material.
Duropal splashbacks can be easily installed onto plasterboard, brickwork and even onto ceramic tiles. Duropal splashbacks are effortless to maintain, moisture and fire resistant, and above all, it will give a fresh sleek finish to your kitchen, giving a new breath of life to your already worn out kitchen.
Other options include glass splashbacks, aluminium-based splashbacks from Laminex (an intelligent alternative to glass); both types of splashbacks can be installed easily. Stone splashbacks are robust and can give a timeless look and last a lifetime, but they need more time for installation, you can go for it if time is not a constraint for you.
However, if you don’t want to install a splashback then you can consider painting the walls with lighter colour shades that mingle with rest of the kitchen space.
2. Consider Minor Storage Alterations
If your kitchen does not have enough storage then it’s time to give a facelift to your kitchen cabinets and drawers. If there are three dividers inside your kitchen cabinets, you can perhaps remove one divider and reset the remaining two dividers equally leaving equal space in between them. By doing this, you will be able to keep bigger containers inside your cabinets. Similarly, as per your daily use, you can increase or decrease the space allocation inside your kitchen cabinets to make it more functional. Also, you can try open shelving, which will not only add a fresh look to your kitchen but also will make it more functional. Furthermore, you can have the kitchen cabinets painted with a fresh new colour. If your existing cabinets have darker colours like black, dark grey or brown, you can perhaps try out light colours such as light green, light blue, cream, white or pink; however, try selecting the colour that blends with your kitchen splashback.
3. Replace Old Hardware
Hardware such as handles and knobs of your kitchen cabinets, drawers etc. can be replaced if they are quite old or aren’t operating smoothly. These kitchen accessories are like jewellery for the kitchen cabinets, that’s why, when you replace handles and knobs of your kitchen cabinets and drawers, you change the look and feel of the kitchen.

You can have these small modifications implemented rather quickly, which will completely change the look and feel of your entire kitchen space. This way, you can complete instant kitchen renovation before Christmas.
