Kitchen Wrap & Worktop Transformation in Andover: From Dark and Dated to Bright and Contemporary

N3 Porcelain White Kitchen Wrap, with brand new 22mm Worktops and LED lighting

Project Showcase: A Bright New Beginning for a Tired Kitchen

One of the most rewarding kitchen transformations is taking a space that feels dark, incomplete and uninspiring and turning it into something fresh, bright and welcoming.

This kitchen in Andover had seen better days. Missing doors, dated orange wood finishes and a lack of modern styling meant the space no longer reflected the homeowner's taste or lifestyle.

Rather than replacing the entire kitchen, we combined a professional vinyl wrap transformation with new worktops, lighting and finishing details to create a kitchen that feels completely new.

The entire makeover was completed in just three days.

Before: Dark, Dated and Missing Key Features

The original kitchen suffered from several issues:

  • Missing cabinet doors

  • Dated orange wood-effect finishes

  • A dark and uninspiring appearance

  • Limited visual cohesion

  • Tired worktops and fixtures

  • Lack of feature lighting

Whilst the kitchen layout remained functional, it lacked the bright, modern feel the homeowners were hoping to achieve.

After: Fresh Porcelain White with Contemporary Finishing Touches

The transformation focused on creating a brighter, cleaner and more stylish kitchen while retaining the existing layout.

Key upgrades included:

  • Wrapping all cabinetry in N3 Porcelain White

  • Installing new cabinet handles throughout

  • Fitting a new integrated washing machine door

  • Installing LED lighting above the wall units

  • Installing LED lighting below the wall units

  • Replacing the worktops with brand-new 22mm slimline laminate worktops

  • Installing a new ceramic sink

  • Fitting a new contemporary tap

  • Installing Laurent White brick-style splashback tiles

  • Refreshing the entire kitchen with a light and modern aesthetic

The result is a kitchen that feels significantly larger, brighter and more welcoming than the original space.

Design Notes: Light Colours, Smart Details and Everyday Practicality

This project demonstrates how a combination of colour, lighting and carefully selected materials can completely transform a kitchen.

The N3 Porcelain White finish creates a clean and timeless backdrop, helping to maximise light throughout the room. The new slimline worktops introduce a more contemporary profile, while the ceramic sink and modern tap elevate the overall finish.

The addition of Laurent White brick-style tiles provides subtle texture and visual interest, creating an elegant splashback that complements the cabinetry perfectly.

Meanwhile, the LED lighting above and below the wall units adds both practicality and atmosphere, making the kitchen feel warm and inviting throughout the day and evening.
