A Harvey Jones kitchen is built to last, making it an investment that stands the test of time. Whether you purchased your kitchen decades ago or are fortunate to inherit one in your new home, your kitchen’s design can evolve as your tastes, needs, and lifestyle change. Instead of a complete overhaul, consider a kitchen refurbishment. Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, new worktops, adding a new feature, or reconfiguring your cabinetry, a refurbishment is a cost-effective and sustainable way to breathe new life into your space. Revamping your kitchen not only enhances its functionality but also allows you to reflect your evolving style while preserving the timeless quality of your original design.

Repainting Your Kitchen: A Simple Yet Powerful Transformation

One of the easiest and most impactful ways to refresh your kitchen is by giving your cabinetry a fresh coat of paint. Repainting your kitchen cabinets can breathe new life into your space without the need for a full renovation. Whether you choose a bold new colour to make a statement or opt for soft, neutral tones to create a calm and inviting atmosphere, painting can completely change the feel of your kitchen.

At Harvey Jones, we specialise in hand-painting your kitchen to perfection, ensuring a flawless finish that’s both durable and beautiful. Our expert craftsmen carefully prepare your cabinets, providing a high-quality, long-lasting finish that enhances the natural beauty of your kitchen. A fresh coat of paint doesn’t just update your cabinetry; it can also enhance the overall mood of your kitchen, and make your space feel brand new!

Why Opt for a Kitchen Refurbishment?

Kitchen refurbishments offer a world of possibilities for creating a space that fits both your lifestyle and evolving tastes. With a handcrafted, bespoke kitchen, refurbishment becomes a seamless process. From repainted cabinetry to the addition of new elements, the durability and timeless design of a quality kitchen allow you to reimagine your space without starting from scratch.

At Harvey Jones, we pride ourselves on creating kitchens that are built to last, making them the ideal candidate for future upgrades. So, if your kitchen is in need of a refresh, why not consider a refurbishment instead of a full renovation? This approach is kinder to the environment, less disruptive, and far more cost-effective. Plus, a well-executed refurbishment can bring an entirely new lease of life to your kitchen, keeping it in tune with the latest trends while preserving its character.

Shaker Kitchen Refurbishment: A Stylish Transformation

In South-West London, we worked with a couple who had inherited a Harvey Jones kitchen from the previous owners of their new home. Although the kitchen was of excellent quality, they wanted to update the look to match their modern style and forever home vision. With a simple yet impactful refresh, we gave their kitchen a fresh new feel.

The original cabinets were repainted, and antique bronze hardware was added to elevate the aesthetic. New worktops were installed, transforming the space with a more contemporary look. A grand dresser was added, giving the kitchen a more refined feel while keeping appliances neatly tucked away but still easily accessible.

We also introduced a herringbone splashback, which added sophisticated visual interest to the design. The spacious island now features a contrasting colour and an informal dining area—creating a relaxed space to socialise and entertain.

Timeless Refurbishment: A Victorian Kitchen Update

Our clients in Richmond inherited a Harvey Jones kitchen when they moved into their new home—a three-storey Victorian terraced house. The kitchen, originally installed 10 years earlier, was in impeccable condition. However, they wanted to breathe new life into the space while respecting the home’s classic features.

With just a fresh coat of paint, the once cream cabinets were transformed into a soft off-white, contrasting beautifully with the pale blue walls. New grey quartz worktops replaced the previous wooden surfaces, creating an updated, timeless charm. By reusing the original layout, we kept costs low while adding a new dining area adjacent to the kitchen set within a beautiful orangery.

The dining space features charming banquette seating and open shelving, which integrates seamlessly with the main kitchen area. A neat desk with built-in power sockets was added to the space for home admin and remote work. This Victorian refurbishment demonstrates how easy it is to update your kitchen without sacrificing functionality or character. See more of this Timeless Refurbishment here.

The Environmental and Economic Benefits of Refurbishing Your Kitchen

Opting for a kitchen refurbishment is not only a practical solution, it’s also a sustainable choice. By reusing your existing cabinetry, you’re reducing waste and extending the life of quality craftsmanship. Plus, refurbishments typically require fewer materials than a full renovation, resulting in lower costs and a more eco-friendly approach to design.

A kitchen refurbishment offers the perfect balance between updating your space and preserving the elements you love. If your kitchen is still in great condition but needs a facelift, it’s time to consider a few changes that will breathe new life into your home—whether that’s a fresh coat of paint, updated handles, worktops, or a new layout that better suits your needs.
