KITCHENS are likely to take centre stage this weekend as loved ones gather together to celebrate Easter.

But if your cooking area is looking a little shabby, you don’t need to spend thousands of pounds decking it out.

Here’s how to revamp and refresh without frying your budget.

STICK ON: Tiles can often make or break a kitchen. If yours are a little dated, try stick-on ones over the top.

Wayfair.co.uk has a great selection, from £13.99 a pack.

ALL WHITE NOW: Discoloured and faded grouting on floor or wall tiles makes a kitchen look worn.

Try bringing it back to life with Unibond’s grout reviver pen, £4, from Dunelm.

The pen makes it easy to apply and leaves grouting looking sparkling white again.

THAT’S A WRAP: Marble worktops look impressive but come with a hefty price tag.

You can create the look with a £12.99 roll of vinyl wrap from Amazon.

Many won’t be able to differentiate between a marble-style wrap and the real thing.

Surfaces are water and oil-proof, so worktops can be used as usual.

I was quoted £4k to build a posh island in my kitchen but there was no way I’d cough that up - did it myself for £250 thanks to B&Q MDF

A LICK OF PAINT: Give your kitchen cupboards a makeover with a fresh coat.

Cupboard paints are £25 a tin at B&Q and it also has a three-for-two offer on interior paints.

ALL IN THE DETAIL: Changing the door and cupboard handles is a quick and easy way to update your kitchen.

Search on second-hand sites such as eBay for cheap fittings, or try toolstation.com, which has knobs for around £3 — if you buy three or more you get a discount of five per cent, while six or more means ten per cent off the total price.

SHELVE THAT: Clean and tidy your shelves and actively choose what you have on display rather than lots of clutter.

Cookbooks can look great, and display your favourite jugs, mugs or other kitchenware.
