Updating your kitchen doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul of its design. Just a few, simple changes can make all the difference. In today’s blog, we’re sharing our top tips on how to spruce up your kitchen this spring and create that crisp, fresh, and stylish look that’s bound to impress…
A simple and easy way to refresh the look and feel of your kitchen is with an intensive spring clean. Organise you spices, pots and pans, make the most of all your storage space, and scrub away all that grease and grime that tends to gather on top of cupboards and appliances.
Adding a touch of the spring garden to your kitchen design is a great idea for lifting the mood. Display your favourite flowers in bright, spring-inspired vases or perhaps create your own indoor herb garden.
If you’ve got some time on your hands and you want a complete change, why not paint your kitchen with a pop of colour? Whether it’s a feature wall or something more extravagant, paint has the power to change the feel and mood of your kitchen. You can get some spring colour inspiration here.
You needn’t just stick with a change of colour. Why not theme your kitchen instead? A floral theme is perfect for spring and can be incorporated into many elements including your curtains, coasters, place settings, and tea towels.
Accessories are a great way to revamp your kitchen for the season. Table runners, place mats, and tea towels are easily and cheaply replaced. Another effective idea is to change the knobs and handles on your cabinets. This can transform an old-looking kitchen into something more modern and help you achieve the popular streamlined look.
Other, more expensive, accessories you might like to change are your small appliances. Toasters, kettles, and pots and pans come in a wide variety of colours and styles these days.
If the timing’s right for you and your family, spring is a great time in invest in a new kitchen. The reasons why are endless: the weather is ideal for renovations, spring is a time we’re all feeling inspired, and you’ll be the lucky owner of a brand new kitchen in time for summer and all those summer events!

MODERN MINIMALISM AT ITS FINEST IN OUR URMSTON SHOWROOM
Our Urmston showroom display showcases a bold, modern kitchen design that effortlessly blends both form and function. The handleless units create a streamlined, uninterrupted flow throughout the space, perfectly complemented by the ultra-matt black finish on the worktops. This pairs beautifully with the elegant black ribbed-veneered door for the focal wall.
This minimalist design approach offers a chic, contemporary vibe, ideal if you love the clean, clutter-free aesthetic. To enhance this look, we’ve used warm accent colours that break up the monochrome palette, adding a sense of inviting depth and warmth to the overall space. The subtle, extravagant marble panels add a touch of quiet luxury, their natural veining providing visual interest and texture against the sleek black surfaces, especially when lit by warm LED lighting. This fusion of modern materials and timeless elements, such as marble, creates a display that is both stylish and practical!
