WHY START AFRESH, WHEN YOU
COULD JUST REFRESH?
Beautiful Kitchens on a Budget
According to a recent study, the average Brit
will spend around two years of their life
redecorating and, unsurprisingly, 45 percent
of us admit that our home is still a ‘work in
progress’. Without question, the kitchen is the
busiest room in the home – it deserves some
TLC! If yours has seen better days, and you’ve
recently found yourself contemplating an
upgrade, ask yourself these three simple
questions:
• Is your kitchen layout working for you?
• Are the carcasses still in good condition?
• Would you rather spend three weeks without
a functioning kitchen (and spending a small
fortune) or refresh what’s already there, in a
matter of hours?
No brainer, right? Most of us are already
satisfied with the existing layout and cabinetry
in our kitchens, so why pay someone to rip it
all out and start again, when you could save
weeks of upheaval and demolition? With
TREND Transformations’ vast range of
replacement worktops, doors and tiles, you’re
only ever hours away from achieving your
dream kitchen and, better yet, it could cost
less than half the price of a replacement
kitchen.
Before you start picking up the phone to
a bespoke kitchen design company, or the
local carpenter, consider replacing the
surfaces, doors and splashbacks – completely
transforming the space, at a fraction of the
cost. Here, Danny Hanlon at TREND
Transformations Maidstone gives us the inside
scoop on how his team of specialist, in-house
designers and fitters can achieve the kitchen
of your dreams, in time, on budget, and with
no compromise on style.

SHAPE UP THOSE SHAKERS SPLASHBACKS WITH STYLE
Most kitchens have the foundation of a great,
working space. You may find you have ample
storage solutions but have grown tired of the
design or feel of the room. In recent years,
pine and Formica cabinetry has fallen in
popularity, in favour of more contemporary,
matte and gloss designs in cool, classic tones.
Switch up your pine panelling, for a dove grey
shaker style look, like the TREND
Transformations’ door fronts in Matte Stone
Grey. This will cut costs down considerably,
leaving enough room in the budget for stylish
appliances and accessories. With our splashbacks covering a vast area of
the kitchen space, they can make or break the
feel of a room. If yours have seen better days,
specifically in those frequently used areas such
as the hob or the sink, now may be the time
to look into replacing them. Ripping out
sections of tile is a lengthy, costly and messy
job so instead of replacing, refresh!
TREND Transformations’ range of
replacement tiles and glass mosaics takes the
fuss out of installing that touch of design to
your kitchen. They can be fitted directly on
top of existing tiles, minimising the install time
significantly, and allowing the team of skilled
in-house fitters to fit your splashbacks to an
impeccable standard. TREND Transformations
does not use sub-contractors, ensuring quality
of fit, and with most products fabricated locally,
you can feel safe in the knowledge that your
kitchen will show up on time, to your exact
specifications and will be finished by an
experienced fitter.
So, there you have it – the kitchen of your
dreams, without the demolition, lengthy
design and install process, and with no
compromise made on style. You heard it here
first.

WORKTOPS WITH THE WOW FACTOR
Long gone are the days when kitchen
worktops were simply a place for food
preparation. With the introduction of cordless
device charging, integrated television screens
and pop-up electrical sockets, kitchens have
become a truly multi-purpose space and the
hub of the modern family home. A practical
space deserves a hard-wearing surface, with
no limitations on style.
The range available through TREND
Transformations Maidstone includes finishes
to suit all designs, with finishes in granite,
quartz, recycled glass, porcelain and the
stunning Trascenda™ Collection, which
mimics the finish of a marble surface, at a
fraction of the cost. On trend and under budget
– what more could you ask for?
TREND Transformations offers a range
of stunning surfaces and, with their exclusive
‘top that fits on top’ service, beautiful high-
grade work surfaces are fitted directly over
existing worktops, eliminating the ne
