Top 5 Affordable Kitchen Upgrades Using Our Products

Upgrading your kitchen doesn’t have to involve a full renovation or break the bank. In fact, with a few smart, affordable changes using products available right here at Fearons.ie, you can give your kitchen a fresh new look — quickly and cost-effectively.

Whether you're a homeowner looking for a refresh or a trade professional advising a client, here are 5 budget-friendly kitchen upgrades you can do using our in-stock materials and fittings.

🔧 1. Swap Out Your Handles for a New Look

Replacing cabinet handles is one of the fastest and most effective ways to modernise a kitchen. Choose from:

• Matte black or brushed brass for a sleek, contemporary look

• Stainless steel or chrome for a clean, modern finish

• Knobs or cup pulls for a more traditional or country-style vibe

🚪 2. Upgrade to Soft-Close Hinges

Nothing says “quality” like the gentle hush of a soft-close cabinet. These hinges:

• Prevent doors from slamming

• Protect cabinet frames and doors from wear

• Instantly add a modern, premium feel

And best of all — they’re easy to retrofit in many existing kitchen units.

🗑 3. Install an Integrated Waste Bin System

Tired of your bin cluttering up floor space? Integrated waste bins are a simple upgrade that improves hygiene and aesthetics:

• Tuck neatly inside a base unit

• Available in single or dual compartments for recycling

• Easy to install and remove for cleaning

Perfect for small kitchens or anyone wanting a cleaner, more streamlined layout.

💡 4. Add Under-Cabinet Lighting

Adding LED strip lighting or under-cabinet puck lights can:

• Instantly elevate your kitchen’s ambiance

• Improve task lighting over worktops

• Make your space feel bigger and more luxurious

It’s a small investment with a big visual payoff — and most setups are DIY-friendly.

🔁 5. Replace Cabinet Doors or Panels

If your cabinets are structurally sound, there’s no need to replace the whole kitchen. Swapping just the doors and drawer fronts gives your kitchen a whole new style for a fraction of the cost of a full renovation.

We offer:

• Flat-panel MFC doors in modern finishes

• Shaker-style and traditional profiles

• A wide selection of colours and sizes
