When I first thought about updating my kitchen in London, I underestimated how many decisions were involved. From layout changes to choosing materials that actually suit everyday use, it felt like a lot to figure out. I soon realized it wasn’t just about picking pretty tiles and cabinets,I needed a realistic sense of what could work in my space, especially given the quirks of older London homes. That made me wonder what others have learned through the process and what’s worth considering before taking the plunge.
