    Have a google for DC-FIX, it's like a self adhesive vinyl wallpaper you can put on your counter, cupboards etc to give them a new look.
    It's not a new kitchen but it gives your kitchen a new look, cheap too, you can get a 2M roll for under £10 at The Range.  I just did mine over lockdown and it's a great improvement (Ribbek Oak counter tops)

    Nice suggestion but unfortunately doesn't help if, like our kitchen, the cabinets are over 20 years old and falling to bits as the chipboard turns to dust.

    Our kitchen was 18 years old and falling to bits. It was an MFI one.
