New kitchen

    Hi I’m thinking of changing the kitchen at my parents place, it’s brown circa 1992 kitchen and is dated and dull. Money is tight so any recommendations for kitchen companies based in Munster would be much appreciated. We are based in county limerick and have looked into cash and carry kitchens but any recommendations or heads up would be most appreciated. Thanks again

    Patrick Bourke (PB kitchens) is very good and sensible with the pricing.

    If it’s wood, you could just paint it - makes a massive difference for a fraction of the cost

    Was going to suggest this. It can make a dated kitchen look modern

    We used Universal Kitchens on Mulgrave street at a few years back for a new kitchen & various other wardrobes & presses, couldn't fault them

    we recently bought and painted the kitchen units. i took before and after pictures. it was unrecognizable and a fraction of the cost. We did also re-tile the kitchen floors but its amazing what a lick of paint can do.

    I painted my kitchen myself. I used Farrow & Ball paint and I went for French country white. Now it it did take a lot of work with two undercoats and at least two top coats, but I was very pleased with the result. If you don't wish to redo the tiles (splashback) they can be painted too.

    If the budget is tight and you are willing to put the work in - painting or spraying the kitchen might be a good option.

    Consider a reface and keep the original carcass if they can be re-used. We got our Kitchen from the Panelling Centre off the Ballysimon Road. Big company who do the kitchen there and in Woodies. They're retail and trade as well.

    Re-face would be considerably cheaper as would be painting.

    I'd highly recommend them too, they're probably not the best to go to if you're on a tight budget though.
