I’ve been looking at updating my kitchen for some time now and have been doing some internet research. I don’t really want to rip the whole thing out as the cooker and fridge are relatively new and the layout of the cupboards is useable, so I have decided to change the work surfaces and cupboard doors to create a new look.

I quite like the idea of having quartz worktops as they are heat and scratch resistant and require very little maintenance. Quartz is also available in over 40 colours and are more consistent than granite worktops, meaning that you can easily match the surfaces if you want to extent the kitchen or match it to your existing worktops.

The cupboard doors will also be changed for a more modern look, I was thinking about maybe a simple gloss finish, but haven’t decided on a colour yet. I will also be fitting laminate flooring and tiling the walls in between the cupboards to finish the look.

All I have to do now is measure my kitchen and choose some colours, then I can start ordering the quartz worktops
