Luxury New Build Kitchen Wrap Transformation in Basingstoke: Soft Neutral Elegance in Just Two Days
New Build Kitchen Makeover, wrapped in NE78 Silk Cord, NE77 Off White and NF78 Oaky Oak Worktops, completed with new handles, sink and tap
Project Showcase: Elevating a Standard New-Build Kitchen into a Luxury Living Space
New-build kitchens are designed to appeal to as many buyers as possible, but this often means they're finished in safe, neutral colours that lack personality and warmth.
This kitchen in Basingstoke was no exception.
Although the cabinetry was in excellent condition and the layout worked perfectly, the original colour scheme felt uninspiring and didn't reflect the homeowners' vision for their home. Rather than replacing a perfectly good kitchen, we completely transformed it using premium architectural vinyl finishes and carefully selected accessories.
In just two days, the kitchen became a sophisticated, designer-inspired space with a warm, luxurious atmosphere.
Before: A Typical New-Build Finish
The original kitchen featured:
Standard developer-installed cabinetry
Neutral colours with little character
Good quality cabinets that didn't require replacement
A functional layout with excellent potential
Limited warmth and visual interest
Whilst the kitchen was perfectly practical, it lacked the individuality and premium feel the homeowners were looking for.
After: Soft Neutral Luxury with Natural Oak Warmth
The transformation focused on creating a timeless palette that feels elegant, calming and effortlessly contemporary.
Key upgrades included:
Wrapping the base units in Coverstyl NE78 Silk Cord
Wrapping the wall units in Coverstyl NE77 Off White Silk
Wrapping the worktops in Coverstyl NF78 Light Oaky Oak
Installing stylish new cabinet handles
Fitting a new contemporary sink
Installing a new matching tap
Creating a beautifully balanced, high-end kitchen in just two days
The finished result feels brighter, warmer and significantly more luxurious than the original developer specification.
Design Notes: Soft Tones Create Timeless Luxury
One of the strengths of this transformation is the subtle contrast between the cabinetry and worktops.
The NE78 Silk Cord finish introduces warmth and sophistication, offering a soft neutral tone that feels elegant without dominating the room. Paired with the lighter NE77 Off White Silk wall units, the overall design feels open, airy and full of natural light.
The NF78 Light Oaky Oak worktops complete the palette perfectly, introducing natural timber textures that add warmth, depth and character while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic.
Finished with new handles, a modern sink and tap, every element works together to create a kitchen that feels bespoke, refined and designed specifically for the home.
This project is a perfect example of how subtle colour choices can have a dramatic impact on the overall atmosphere of a kitchen.
