As the credit crunch tightens its grip in the UK people may not have as much money to spend on renovating kitchens.However, according to the Independent, if homeowners cannot afford a full refurbishment spending a little on accessories can make all the difference.The newspaper suggests, for people without windowsills or for those who simply want to liven-up their kitchen, hanging planters are an inexpensive way to add a bit of colour.It also claims having a selection of different chairs rather than a matching set can update the look of any room.Finally the newspaper advises changing the handles on drawers and cupboards is one of the easiest ways to give your kitchen a makeover.It adds If you feel strong enough, paint the cupboards and bingo, it will look as good as new.Earlier this month, Shawna Roorda, vice-president of design at Crawford Renovation, told the Houston Chronicle when updating a kitchen in a house you plan to sell it is best to stick to neutral shades.
