Easy DIY ideas to give your kitchen a facelift
If you’re looking for your next DIY kitchen project, then read on for some inspiration that could help take your kitchen to the next level.
Upgrade your appliances
Now that you’ve saved some money by completing some DIY work, upgrading your appliances can add a finishing touch to your kitchen. NEFF’s extensive range of appliances can help complete your transformation. Our Slide & Hide® oven range is a fantastic choice for those who want to enhance their cooking experience with a fully-disappearing door. And if you cook with steam frequently, or want to try out this cooking method, then a NEFF oven with Full Steam or Added Steam can take your home cooking to the next level.
The new NEFF Flex Design range is a great way to showcase your personal style with our quality appliances. Choose from one of four unique colours to add a touch of class in the kitchen. The best part? You can change the colours of your appliance handles and trims anytime you want, allow you to experiment with endless design possibilities.

Update your cabinetry
Are your cupboards and kitchen cabinetry looking a bit tired? Then it’s time to give them a revamp! Whether it’s creating a bold contrast or simply giving them a touch up, a lick of paint can give your dated cupboards a new look. When choosing a colour, make sure you plan ahead – the last thing you want is to paint your cupboards a colour that doesn’t match the rest of your kitchen. When painting, proper prep is key. Make sure you apply painter’s tape, so you don’t get unwanted splatters on any surfaces (or on your appliances!).
Another fast and easy DIY kitchen upgrade you can do is change your kitchen cupboard handles. From shiny copper to deep black, they can make your kitchen feel fresh and modern with a simple turn of the screw. Want to take this further and have a cohesive kitchen style? Then our Flex Design range allows you to pick one of four colours for the trim and handles of your NEFF oven, rangehood, coffee machine and cooktop. This means you can perfectly match your appliances with your DIY work.
Switch up your splashback
A splashback can make or break a kitchen – it’s a feature and a function all in one. So, if your splashback is dated or broken, it might be time for an update. There are a range of styles to choose from when looking to add a bit of sparkle to your kitchen, such as tiles or glass. Using tiles makes it easy to clean after you’ve cooked up a feast, while a stone surface will ensure your splashback will be stain and scratch resistant. Make sure you’re comfortable using silicone to apply the material to get the best possible results.
Hang up your pots and pans
If your kitchen drawers are overflowing, then try hanging up your pots and pans. This can help free up valuable space in your kitchen, while also creating an eye-catching feature above your head. Choose a hanger that matches the style of your kitchen, such as rustic or industrial, and ensure it’s securely fastened to the wall by finding the studs in your walls (especially if you’ve got an extensive collection of pots and pans).
Change your benchtop
Changing your benchtop can completely revolutionise your kitchen. Different materials suit different purposes – quartz benchtops are easy to clean, while timber benchtops can be crafted as one-off, environmentally friendly pieces. Precision is everything when it comes to installing a benchtop, so make sure you accurately measure the length and width. If you’re looking to go the extra mile, then why not add a NEFF Integrated Cooktop to give your benchtop a sleek look. Want to match your cooktop with the rest of the kitchen? The NEFF Flex Design is a versatile accessory you can add to your cooktop for a seamless kitchen design.
