Upcycling is the way forward.

Our lovely client Sam wanted to refresh her kitchen units without having to replace them. So we applied our Ilumitextra with two coats of hard-wearing polyurethane, to give them a stunning and fresh new look. Same units, same doors, same handles, completely different room.

It's the most sustainable renovation there is: nothing ripped out, nothing in a skip, and a finish tough enough for the busiest room in the house.

Project Highlights

Same units, same doors — zero replaced
Ilumitextra finish under two coats of hard-wearing polyurethane
A stunning and fresh new look, without a new kitchen
Upcycling at its best
