Spray kitchen or go for a new one?

We have just bought a new house. We don't really like the kitchen. It's solid wood and seems of good standard to us. We just don't like the 'wood' look. We are in two minds. We need to get a new counter top and we are going to get an island installed. We just don't know if its better to spray the kitchen that's there, or get it pulled out and start from scratch.

Spraying will essentially give you a "new" kitchen at a fraction of the cost ( mind you I'm biased cos I do this for a living :-))

Spray it.

I got a second hand custom wood kitchen installed myself and resprayed it.

Looks very expensive and brand new .you'd be wasting money replacing it and probably with something less quality

We replaced work top and sprayed the whole kitchen units just before xmas. The units were not solid wood but MDF with a plastic coating. Coating was stripped and doors and units primed and finished. Really pleased with outcome it's a whole new kitchen. Would certainly recommended this approach but make sure you get an experienced sprayer as some jobs can turn into a disaster.

The outcome may depend on the style of door. Some styles look old no matter what colour they are.

Im in the same boat, looking to update the oak kitchen. but its very good solid pippy oak and im a bit worried.

Ive seen some if those resprays and they can look almost "plastic" for want of a better word. I would reckon a lot of it would be down to the skill of the resprayer. J was getting quotes from 800 to 1500 for a small enough kitchen

Ive decided to repaint the walls change the handles and splashback and then see how it looks before getting rid.

A lot will depend on whether paint or lacquer is used,cellouse lacquer will give a more plastic look.

Will you get doors on the island to exactly match the existing doors ?? If so then spraying seems an option.

If they will be different in styling then it will never look like a new kitchen if that is the look your going for.
