Kitchen Vinyl Wrap Transformation in Southampton: From Damaged Gloss Black to Modern Granite Style
Granite Kitchen Wrap with brass handles and a Concrete style wrapped worktop
Project Showcase: From Delaminating Gloss Black to Contemporary Industrial Elegance
One of the biggest benefits of kitchen vinyl wrapping is the ability to completely reinvent a kitchen without the disruption and expense of a full replacement.
This kitchen in Southampton, Hampshire had reached the point where the existing finish was beginning to fail. The gloss black surfaces were delaminating, several areas were damaged, and the overall appearance no longer reflected the quality of the home.
Rather than replacing the entire kitchen, we restored and transformed it with a contemporary combination of granite-inspired and concrete-effect finishes, creating a sophisticated, modern look in just two days.
Before: Damaged, Delaminating and Ready for Change
The original kitchen featured:
Gloss black cabinetry
Delaminating surfaces
Visible damage and wear
A dated appearance despite the modern layout
A finish that was no longer practical or visually appealing
While the kitchen remained functional, it was clear that the existing surfaces had reached the end of their lifespan.
After: Raw Granite and Concrete for a Designer Finish
The transformation focused on introducing texture, warmth and modern styling while retaining the existing kitchen structure.
Key upgrades included:
Wrapping all cabinetry in NH35 Raw Granite
Wrapping the worktops in U20 Concrete
Installing new brass cabinet handles
Repairing and preparing damaged surfaces prior to wrapping
Creating a cohesive modern-industrial design
Refreshing the entire kitchen in just two days
The finished result feels premium, contemporary and completely transformed from the dark, damaged kitchen we started with.
Design Notes: Texture Creates Character
One of the standout aspects of this project is the introduction of texture.
The NH35 Raw Granite finish provides subtle depth and movement, creating a sophisticated appearance that feels natural and contemporary. Paired with the U20 Concrete worktops, the kitchen adopts a modern industrial aesthetic that's both stylish and practical.
The addition of brass handles softens the cooler tones and introduces a touch of warmth and luxury, helping to balance the overall design beautifully.
This project proves that a carefully chosen combination of finishes can completely redefine a kitchen without replacing a single cabinet.
