Less is more, the old adage says. The same goes for kitchen remodelling. Most of the time, you don’t need to replace the cabinets altogether, strip the floors and install ridiculously expensive flooring or buy cutting-edge appliances. Sometimes, all you need is a fresh perspective. By changing the colour or lighting schemes in your kitchen, you will almost feel as if the kitchen has transformed completely. Different lights can be placed in different places in the kitchen to serve different purposes. Let’s shed some light on your new kitchen without breaking the bank. Lighting zones Depending on the functions they are going to perform, kitchen lights can be set in such a way to create different lighting zones in your kitchen. Let’s take a look at some options: Dinner zone This lighting zone has the dining table at its centre. Pendants like stand-alone chandeliers or cluster pendants make great dinner zone lights.

Besides, by acquiring some useful DIY skills, you could actually save some quid. That said, let’s make you a skilled DIY plumber! Unclog the shower drain How will you know your shower drain is clogged in the first place? You’ll notice the water pouring away very slowly or more noticeably – not draining away at all. If you’re lucky, the debris causing the clog will be visible on the drain cover. If not, this is what you should do: 1. Remove the drain cover and have a closer look down the drain. Be careful when removing the cover –in most cases, you’ll have to use the screwdriver; if you’re reckless, you could scratch the finish. 2.

Small kitchens get a bad rep sometimes, and it is true that aspiring bakers and chefs might struggle when creating extravagant meals in a confined space. However, we think that there is a certain joy in the creativity required to make a space work for you. You can make your small kitchen into your ideal workspace with these 6 tips to get you started and inspire your planning. 1- Think about what you really use it for If you have had an enormous juicer for the last 2 years and can count the number of smoothies that you have made on one hand, then maybe it’s best to think twice about giving it your precious counter space. If you adore baking and do it most weekends, then think carefully about where you can put your mixer between uses as it’s clearly going to be an important part of your small kitchen. 2- Select hard-working kitchenware We’re thinking flat, digital scales, a cutting board which covers the sink and can double your worktop space and you can even open drawers and cover them with boards or trays to make space during bigger cooking projects. 3- Walls make...
