There are many ways to breathe new life into an old kitchen.
Whether you're a landlord or homeowner, here are three refurbishment tips that cost less than £300.
1. Paint
Start by repainting walls and ceilings, then refresh tired units with furniture paint.
For a modern look, use white or grey. Matt blue and sage work well in traditional kitchens.
2. Lighting
New lighting can instantly turn a kitchen from dull to brilliant.
Replace old shades with modern glass or retro-industrial-style ones.
Fit warm white LED strips above worktops. They plug into a USB adaptor, so no need for an electrician.
3. Accessorise
Search discount stores and charity shops for items that will add the wow factor.
Look out for stainless steel kitchen utensils, shelving and glass storage jars.
