Can't renovate your kitchen? Jenny Marrs recommends this is the easiest room to give a refresh instead

Jenny and Dave Marrs

When planning a renovation, the kitchen is an obvious starting point. As the center point of social gatherings, we design this space to leave an impression – but such projects come with inevitable time and cost commitments. So, which are the rooms you should be looking to instead when a kitchen renovation isn't on the cards? Dave and Jenny Marrs encourage us to look to the bedroom instead. 

While the bedroom is notably more private, and less likely to be shown off to guests as frequently as a kitchen might be, the Fixer to Fabulous duo says that this space is surprisingly impactful when elevating a home on a smaller budget. It can feel like a totally new space with just a fresh coat of paint, new bedding, and a change of soft furnishings. Far easier (and more budget-friendly) than pulling our cabinets and reconfiguring layouts.
