How to… update your kitchen on a budget
I love the look of under-cabinet lighting, but it seems like an expensive bespoke job for an electrician – can I get the same effect for less?
I hate my kitchen worktops – are there any quick fixes that won’t cost a fortune?
Can I paint my gloss kitchen cabinets?
Do I need a plumber to change my kitchen tap, or can I do it myself ?
