Renovating your kitchen? Or just wanting to add some colour through new accessories? Then you might find some inspiration in our Kitchens photo gallery…
There are lots of classic white/beige/grey kitchens in this photo gallery, but we’ve also thrown in some colour, so I hope you find something you like. Essentially, you will get the best value from your kitchen if you keep it neutral in design but bring in colour through cheaper elements such as small appliances and more-easily-replaced features.

Some tips for a luscious kitchen
- Invest in good hardware such as knobs and taps, and bring in lovely cupboard doors and light fixtures, but you can go cheaper on the cupboard shells.
- Don’t skimp on your counter tops – they get the most wear and can degrade quickly if you’ve tried a cheap-and-cheerful approach.
- To reduce tile costs, consider using a sharp white subway tile – it’s simple but classic.
- If you have the luxury, create built-ins for appliances such as microwaves, blenders and juicers to reduce counter space congestion.
- Avoid feature tiles unless you’re super keen as they can date easily – personally, we’re living in a rental house with heaps of 90s-style feature tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms, and sadly it is not a luscious look.
