kitchens

We all know that a great kitchen elevates the value of your home but a lot of clients need the flip without having the massive budget that a new kitchen would require. That's where team Houselift come to the rescue; for a fraction of the price, we can help lift and update your kitchen.

Here's a kitchen that we transformed for a client, based on her initial Pinterest picture, we went to great efforts to make sure that the eventual results weren't far off!

A lick of paint, some cupboard remodelling around the fridge, a new extractor fan, new handles and new marble-look quartz tops & splashback was all it took. To complete the update we painted the internal window frames and doors in white to keep the light flowing and even installed swish new plug points to eliminate pesky cords and cables.

Our client was blown away and sent us this message "The kitchen is beyond stunning!!!! Total transformation beyond what I imagined! Wow you do stunning work" - Charlotte M.

This dark and dated kitchen was waiting for Team Houselift to give it a new lease on life! We ripped up the old black slate tiles and replaced them with a large format light grey tile instead. Sadly, the existing wooden floors stopped at the edge of the kitchen: these were sanded down and treated with a mahogany varnish. We had to move the whole living area away from the dated orangey woods. The cupboards were then all stripped and painted, new handles installed. A beautiful glass tile was installed behind the stove as a practical and stylish splashback. We added three pendant lights at the breakfast bar, some slick bar stools, and dummy fabric blinds to finish off the look. 

This is one of those transformations where even I had my breathe taken away! And these wonderful clients employed us to transform a number of other areas in their home, once they were blown away by the end result.

These clients employed team Houselift to transform their tired kitchen. We retiled the floors, removed dated wall tiles and smooth plastered the walls, coating them in a soft grey paint, while the team painted the entire kitchen in a petrol blue colour. We added new handles, a printed splashback, installed their new cooker and then added new quartz counter tops. The transformation of this space was incredible and was the first of many projects to help these clients update their home

These clients deeply disliked their light wood formica kitchen and let us transform it with paint and tiles. We lifted their dated cream floor tiles and laid new large format tiles with a concrete look, immediately helping to set the tone for the transformation of this area.

We prepped and painted all the cupboards in a soft stone colour and added stylish sleek handles. We replaced a very dated basket unit with a new door front, creating more practical storage. We also removed all the old wall tiles and replaced them with a stunning glass mosaic as a splashback. We painted the remaining walls in a bold charcoal colour which just added the right amount of contrast. And finished off with new kitchen stools and an oversized clock, venetian blinds and a few new accessories.

These clients and their kiddos now adore their "new" look kitchen and we couldn't be happier.

This client's kitchen was crying out for a makeover. The cupboards were tired, dated and uninspiring; team Houselift to the rescue!

We made up a microwave shelf which also houses the toaster and cookbooks, freeing up more counter space. Then painted the cabinets in a striking charcoal colour, adding new black bar handles for the win. While we were at it, we replaced the scullery sink tap with a new one and fixed an existing leak. Final touches in this revamp included a new dummy blind made up in a stunning Hertex Fabrics and an oversized wall clock. Another Houselift transformation that wowed these clients!

From dated to dream-worthy

We all know how expensive new kitchens are and we also know how they elevate and increase the value of your property so we regularly renovate existing kitchens to give them a new lease on life, for a fraction of the cost of a brand new one.

For this dated kitchen, team Houselift begun by stripping both the floor and wall tiles (fondly referred to as the (very) messy part!)

The walls were smooth plastered, the cupboards repainted and the floors retiled using a large format tile in an updated concrete look ceramic tile.

The outdated granite counter tops were replaced with a light quartz and the stove splashback tiled in a ceramic shaded mosaics, for an added bit of interest.

This transformation left our clients speechless (in a good way) and delighted that their open plan, heart-of-the-home, now looked magazine worthy.
