Apply a lick of paint
Purse-friendly
Switching up the colour of your kitchen walls can give you a dramatic new look for just the cost of a tin or two of paint. Be sure to use a specially-formulated, moistureresistant kitchen paint which is designed to withstand humid and steamy conditions and resist mould and mildew growth – it makes walls easier to clean, too.
Super saver
Something as simple as giving your kitchen woodwork a fresh coat of paint can make a big difference to the look and feel of the space, and it's less work than painting the walls. Choose a hard-wearing eggshell or satin paint to withstand the wear and tear in this high-traffic area.
