I have just moved to a new house and I don't like the kitchen at all. It's dark and not at all to my taste. (I'd like cream units and pale wooden work tops!) The kitchen is immaculate, it was only fitted about 4 years ago and the house has been used as a holiday home since then so the kitchen has barely been used.
It seems such a waste to replace it and I can't really afford it. I'd really welcome any ideas on how I can improve it without spending a fortune? The main problem is that with the black worktop and tiles it's so dark in there. There are overhead spotlights but still the black sucks up the light. This photo was taken on a very bright afternoon and makes the room look much lighter than it is.
Any design tips would be very welcome.
