A friend of mine doesn't like her fitted kitchen. She's thought of painting the units a different colour but is worried she'll then be annoyed by the worktops, which are standard chipboard with a rounded edge and wood-effect surface.

Without changing all the worktops what other ways are there to improve them at reasonable cost? Are there companies that will re-cover them or maybe paint them with super-tough paint?

My ex-wife got bored with our old white kitchen units with magnolia walls.
She painted the walls orange and the units blue - then left me ....
won-der-ful!
I had to try and sell it like that in the credit crunch recession . . .
. . . I think it was her idea of "revenge best served coloured"


A great many years ago, our nextdoor neighbours in 3 or 4 year old house
replaced the kitchen. All the units had imperial purple doors and the floor
had a carpet to match. I think they kept the doors for 3 months, but
tehncarpet went much sooner.
