HOW TO RENOVATE A KITCHEN WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION WORK? IDEAS AND OPTIONS
If your furniture is still in good condition, there is no need to replace it entirely. There are different options for renovating kitchen furniture without any building work and achieving amazing results:
1. CHANGE THE FRONTS AND DOORS
Without a doubt, this is the most effective option for modernising the look of your kitchen. You can replace the doors on your cupboards, wall units, base units and tall units with ones featuring contemporary finishes: anti-fingerprint matt, gloss, wood textures, lacquered or even stainless steel fronts for an original touch.

This way, the structure of the space remains unchanged and you only renovate the visible surface, but you achieve an immediate before and after effect.
2. REPLACE THE HANDLES AND HINGES
Often, small details make a big difference. That’s why choosing decorative handles, in matte black, gold, stainless steel or recessed, can give your kitchen a whole new look. A clear example of this are our Gola and Glera handles, which adapt to any style and create a modern, elegant and completely refreshed look.
A tip: soft-close hinges and push systems also improve the everyday usability of drawers and doors.
3. INCORPORATE NEW STORAGE MODULES
Adding shelves, reorganising a drawer or incorporating smart accessories are great options for gaining functionality.
If you are going to renovate your kitchen without doing any building work, you will surely want it to look good, but also to guarantee good storage capacity. Opt for pull-out trays, bottle racks, rotating corner units, drawers or customised modules.

4. INTEGRATED LED LIGHTING
One of the easiest ways to transform a space is to change its lighting. LED strips under wall cabinets provide direct light in the work area, while ambient lighting adds depth and a cosier feel to your kitchen.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENOVATE A KITCHEN WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION WORK? WHAT AFFECTS THE BUDGET?
When renovating a kitchen without building work, the final price can vary greatly depending on several factors: the size of the room, the condition of the current furniture, the type of finishes chosen, and whether you add storage accessories and LED lighting.
Changing just the fronts is not the same as completely renovating the furniture. The quality of the materials and the customisation of the project also have an influence.
If the change you have in mind involves several modifications, it is sometimes worth increasing your budget a little and opting directly for a complete bespoke kitchen, designed from scratch to suit your space, habits and lifestyle. The result is usually more coherent, durable and functional in the long term.

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING A RENOVATED KITCHEN WITHOUT CONSTRUCTION WORK
Before you start considering any changes, take note of these tips:
- ANALYSE YOUR ROUTINES AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO IMPROVE: More storage, better lighting, more resistant fronts or a more contemporary style.
- CHOOSE FINISHES THAT MATCH YOUR LIFESTYLE: Neutral colours, warm woods or soft lacquers for a cosy atmosphere; or stainless steel elements if you are looking for a more modern kitchen.
- CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR FURNITURE: If the structures are sound, renovating the fronts will suffice; if they are damaged, it is best to replace them.
- BE INSPIRED BY REAL PROJECTS: to visualise different possibilities and define your style. For example, you can take a look at our bespoke kitchens.
