The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s no surprise that it’s the most popular room to overhaul (with bathrooms being a close second). The work done can range from major renovations, like knocking down walls or changing flooring, to simpler changes like a fresh coat of paint or new cabinet doors.
These smaller improvements are often called ‘refurbishments’ or ‘makeovers’ interchangeably, but that’s not quite accurate. Although the two terms might seem similar, a few key differences set them apart.
At DMA Property Solutions, we want to help you turn your dream kitchen into a reality. Below, we've broken down the differences between kitchen refurbishments and makeovers to help you decide the right path for you.
The main difference between refurbishments and makeovers is the amount of work involved.
Refurbishments involve a broad range of cosmetic and functional improvements (although not as dramatic as a renovation). This can include fixing minor problems, replacing large fixtures, and overall making the space look and function better. Here's what you might find included in a refurbishment:
Makeovers, on the other hand, focus on giving the space a new visual lease on life. They’re more about creating a fresh look and feel without necessarily digging into any underlying problems. Here's what a makeover might involve:
Cost is the other thing to consider. Refurbishments typically involve more work, so (unsurprisingly) they tend to cost more and take longer than makeovers. The exact cost and timeline will depend on the size and layout of your space, but a refurbishment can cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds more than a makeover and take days or weeks longer.
Both refurbishments and makeovers are generally cheaper and quicker to complete than a full renovation, however.
There’s no set answer to this, as the best choice ultimately depends on your budget, goals, and the current state of your kitchen.
If you're happy with the main elements and just want a cosmetic update, a makeover might be sufficient. But if your kitchen is outdated, inefficient, or doesn't suit your needs, a refurbishment could be worth considering.
