Updating kitchen

3 months ago

I have a very old stainless steel sink 1230mm x 480mm. It is set into a travertine benchtop. I can't find a sink the same size they are all squarer and smaller. Any suggestions? Thanks Anne

Is the actual sink 1230 in length, or is it a single/double bowl with drainer that is the 1230mm.?

Ideas on updating on the cheap?

The floor and cabinets almost look like the same color. I would lighten the cabinet color - making sure it doesn't clash with the floor color. I would also modernize the open cabinet above the microwave by removing the moulding, or adding a door. I'd find an inexpensive countertop that pops against the wood (or painted) wood cabinets. Change out the cabinet glass to clear, and do a new backsplash that brings it all together. And, finally add a cool light fixture, and maybe a kitchen rug.

congrats! first, sand prime and paint out those cabinets....i'd go with a grayish shade of white or pale gray that will work with the flooring. i'd also carefuly chip off the yellow tiles. since on a budget, consider applying some beadboard as your backsplash, painted in a glossy, oil based or marine paint in a crisp white to keep it scrubbable, then, dress up the edges with some small mouldings, painted in the same white paint. this is going to be SO MUCH less costly than tile! and it will look great with the butcher block countertop. you can probably refresh the butcher block with a light sand and oiling. you could even get an additional piece of butcher block (ikea) and create a step-up 'bar' for some stools on the peninsula for some casual seating. then get a pair of pendant lights to hang from the pot lights above (they make lights that insert directly into the pot light...no hardwire necessary).

Lighting - pendants over the servery bench should be another feature that complements your chosen kitchen surfaces. So whilst I love the copper pendants in picture 1.. They could work depending on the rest of your decor and would be a highlight in a neutral white/timber kitchen = Good! If you choose copper you would complement it with a couple of copper bench top items. These are beautiful! (I collect copper because I love it, my kitchen pendants are silver, I renovated to sell in the next 3-5 years) You will see a picture starting to form in your mind and there is nothing wrong with making a statement with your lighting. I found that when I wasn't sure I would get a very strong sense of what was right and what was wrong for a space, then common sense or passion would determine the outcome! Here are another couple that might work, look her on Houzz under lighting, search pendants, then have fun looking!Timber tones with black or white to complement your cabinets... or Statement white pendants for a bit of quirky fun! Your personality can be reflected in your lighting and accessories creating that point of difference from the predictable white on timber look. Plus don't forget the power of greenery to punctuate the theme!

Once you post photo of current sink, we can comment further. But just doing a quick search, this sink could work depending on the actual measurements of the sink and drainer cut out space in travertine. Do you have those measurements? You get them by measuring under the sink and drainer in cupboard.

As bigreader as asked, I concur, what is wrong with the current sink? Maybe just a new mixer tap will update the sink.

A stainless steel sink and drainer can easily be refreshed by using “Gumption” paste cleaner. Works perfectly.

Sadly no standard size for sinks.

another way to refresh a very badly marked high quality SS sink is to have a plumber remove (and return the original sink) after having it polished by a metal fabricator
